Fender Japan Jazz JP75-US-FC Old Candy Red Matching Headstock - *SOLD* £1100 Falkirk

[Delberthot]

I bought this at the beginning of 2024 then promptly quit playing 😂

 

I had it stored in a cupboard and only remembered about it towards the end of last year so got it out and used it for a couple of the Christmas gigs.

 

It's a U serial number which could be 1996 or 2010 but I think that it's more likely to be 2010.

 

From memory it features an ash body, maple neck with rosewood board & block inlays and US pickups.

 

Before I used it I gave it a full set up including adjusting the truss rod so everything is working as it should. It comes with 2 gig old Hybrid Slinkies.

 

Its in pretty good condition for a 15 year old bass with a few light scratches here and there - the worst ding is pictured but it's right at the edge of the body so difficult to see. It comes with it's original standard issue Fender Japan gig bag. It also comes with the bridge cover fitted but never had a pickup cover with it when I bought it.

 

It sounds incredible and I am only selling it as I have far too many basses so am aiming to get down to 2 - a main bass and a backup.

 

I can't remember what I paid for it and am having trouble finding sold examples of this so have started it at £1100 but am open to offers.

 

It's something a bit different as it has the blocks & binding, 3 bolt neck plate, bullet truss rod, US pickups and matching headstock but if you think I'm way off on the pricing and are interested in the bass, then send me a message and we can see if we can work something out.

 

I have the original packaging for this so can post it. The weight is coming in at a reasonable 9.8lbs using the on and off the scales method so it's no lightweight nor is it a boat anchor.

 

I prefer payment by bank transfer and have done this many times with other members on the forum as a buyer and as a seller.

 

If you are too far away to collect then I am happy for you to arrange a courier to collect it. If you are concerned about couriering it then I may have a solution 😉

Is there a finer colour scheme?

Yes

sunburst with tort. The colour scheme of champions 

 

this is nice too 

[Delberthot]

It's funny but I've never understood the mass fascination with tort but then I've never really been a fan of old, traditional colour basses. I think it looks like sick (or worse 🥴) and people put it on all sorts of coloured basses as well. 🫣

 

Nothing worse than a new bass day thread when the OP shows us pictures of a beautiful bass and goes on to say that they've replaced the scratchplate that suited the bass in the first place with something that looks like last night's curry.

 

Anyway, I digress and it wouldn't do if we were all the same - although I would laugh if whoever bought this proceeded to put a tort guard on it 😂

This looks like the 50th Anniversary Jazz Bass.  If it is, then it's here at a great price.

[Delberthot]

There was a US made 50th anniversary jazz bass in 2010 that looks very similar to this one. I wonder if that's why they released this in 2010 to coincide with the 50th anniversary
