Fender Flea Jazz Bass - *SOLD* £850 Loughborough

[Shylock]

Great sounding road worn Jazz Bass with one of the best necks I have ever played. Well known bass guitar with an excellent reputation and Google it for the positive reviews.

 

Serial number dates it December 2018, neck dated May 2018, the bass is based on, I believe, a 1961 Shell Pink jazz bass coupled with a pair of American-made Pure Vintage '64 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, stacked concentric controls, a 7.25"-radius rosewood fingerboard with a 1.5" wide nut. In excellent original condition, as road worn, with little, if any, fret wear as virtually unplayed by previous owner.

 

Comes with original gig bag and I acquired this bass in a trade some 15 months ago but kept longer than I thought I would as it is so playable. However I prefer the P Bass sound and have decided to sell it to further the quest for a P Bass with a jazz neck that stills sounds like a P Bass.

 

Therefore trade wise would consider ideally a Hama Okamoto P bass/ Aerodyne or similar P or PJ Bass with cash either way as appropriate..

 

I am unable to post and live near Loughborough so could meet up at a M1 local junction although you may prefer to try before you buy.

 

Happy to answer any questions - thanks

This is a great price for one of these. You're getting one of the best pickup sets Fender make, with that nitro finish that lets the bass 'speak'. I've recently acquired a slightly modded one of these and it's a great bass. If I didn't already have one...
