2017 Fender Japan '70s Traditional Jazz Bass £925 Bristol

[Belka]

I've decided to put this Jazz up for sale. It's a great bass but I've decided to look for a real late '70s Jazz.

 

It's a 2017 Fender Japan '70s traditional Jazz Bass in California blue finish. It's an authentic recreation of a late '70s Jazz. The body is ash and the neck is one piece maple with a skunk stripe. It sports full size Japanese Gotoh tuners and the normal Fender bridge.  A lot of these Japanese '70s Jazz recreations use '60s spacing for the bridge pickup, but this has the correct '70s spacing and 7.25" vintage radius. This model is not available anymore - the current iteration has a basswood body, smaller tuners and a 9.5" radius

 

A previous owner has customized it somewhat; the white pickup covers and knobs are not original - it would originally have had black ones. I do not have those unfortunately.

 

The body is light swamp ash - the bass weighs 4.2kg/9lbs 4oz.

 

It comes in a fairly lightweight gig bag.

 

The neck is in ideal condition with no marks/dents at all - like new. The body has some dents in it but the paint is all intact.

 

Truss rod works fine, it's currently set up with a very low action with 45-105 Elites Stadiums.

 

I'm in Bristol and you're very welcome to try it out through my amps. Collection preferred - I do not want to post it given the fairly basic gig bag. Happy to drive a reasonable difference for the right buyer however.

 

The only trades I would be interested in would be either a genuine USA '76-82 Jazz, or a 2 band StingRay, with money added from me your way obviously.
