96 MIJ Fender 75RI jazz - Non export Ash/maple (£900 posted) £975 Morecambe

[lee650]

Im about to move into a new flat, and while ive had help I regretably still need to sell gear due to other expenses.

 

 listing my MIJ 75RI Fender jazz in natural Ash/maple. Its a bona fide "non export" as it has the proper 70s pickup spacing (there are a few with 60's too)

 

Its a 96 model and was bought NOS in japan and exported over by a pro player who took it to a tech and had full CTS/switcraft pots and Lollar pickups fitted. He then put it in a case and left it for years! the thing is immaculate save for a ding right on the top of the headstock done by me recently 😩

 

The lollars are quite aggressive so it does the Geddy Lee thing exceptionally well, but also smooths out well for MM tones with the tone control.

 

I fitted a Badass2 bridge and it sounds bloody glorious, its pretty much a passive  Marcus Miller all you'd need to do is add a preamp (i use a sadowsky pre pedal with it) heartbreaking to sell but i need cash.

 

Id be looking for £900 delivered (with BA2, £850 with standard), itll come with a semi hardcase.

Gorgeous, but as above – really sorry that you need to sell such a classically beautiful instrument

Aww Lee. Love you mate.

 

if anyone buys a bass off Lee (think he has a couple up for sale) I’ll post a brand new set of EB slinkies to the buyer.

Wow. That is amazing.

I should get my backside in gear and list my Japanese P bass.

 

Coz if I had the cash, I’d be buying this.

I will do this for £850 delivered, but with the original bridge installed.

I wish that I had not been led astray to the vile underworld of capable well-made five strings that do everything  … then I could waste money^H^H^H reward myself with this 

[Geek99]

Honestly @lee650 the lady singer I work with loves the passive tone out of that sire. She’s owns a gretsch 6 but is bass-curious and I keep trying to corrupt her to the righteous path of bass. 

[lee650]

Will consider a part trade for a sire V5 5 string and cash.

Abstinence… sorry
