SOLD

[playbass]

Hello everyone. I'd been after a passive Fender for ages and was pleased when I (very recently) bought this. But then I accidentally bought another bass yesterday and due to the old one-in, one-out policy this is up for sale.

[size=4][b]Fender Jazz 2006 with S1 Switching[/b][/size]

[b]SPECIFICATION[/b]
Three Tone Sunburst
String through or top load bridge
Alder body
Maple Neck
Maple fingerboard
20 Frets
34" Scale
Controls: volume, volume Tone
Rolled Fingerboard edges
Neck reinforced with graphite rods (I think!)
Strap Locks
[u]Black and Tortoise shell pick guard included (see photos)[/u]

[b]S1?[/b]
Pressing the S1 switch on top of the neck volume control puts the two pickups in parallel giving a thicker tone, getting on the way to sounding like a P bass. Some people like to debate if it's any good; I like it because it gives a little more versatility... and if you don't like it then you can always just not press the button and it's then exactly the same as a normal jazz bass.

[b]CONDITION[/b]
I think the photos show the condition well. It looks good with the only realy serious ding being where you never look, on the bottom edge (see photo borrowed from previous thread).

I really haven't had this long, but in the time I've had it I was pleased with how it performed in a jazz trio, a soul band and a function band. Personally I found the S1 switching to be very handy in the function band where I inevitably end up playing all kinds of music. Oh yeah, I've also lowered the action a little and give it a polish.

If you want any photos of any other parts of the bass just let me know and I'll get the camera out.

[b]POSTAGE[/b]
It doesn't come with a hard case because I was planning on this bass being a keeper and I was going to use a gig bag I have for my other bass so didn't buy the hardcase off the previous owner (DOH!) So ideally collection would be the best. But I am a bit of a deamon packer (see my feedback) so I wouldn't mind posting it too much if someone was desperate. I have plenty of packing material. I always used an insured courier, but I guess that is up to the buyer. The bass in Lincoln.

[b]PRICE[/b]
£525 + Postage

If you're after selling your stingray it'll be much easier in a thread of its own, a bassist on a quest for a stingray probably won't be clicking on a jazz bass thread (Do I sound annoyed? I hope not, I tried different wordings but they all seemed to sound like I was annoyed at the semi-hijacking of the thread. Hey, a bump is a bump.)

I guess I'm just accident prone :/ That's my line when my girlfriend asks anyway... and she hasn't spotted the 'accidental' purchase either, result

[quote name='drthirkenstein' post='802522' date='Apr 11 2010, 12:37 PM']well what i'm saying is i wanna sell mine to buy yours, so either way its win win for you.[/quote]

Yeah, I understand. I certainly hope that happens, I'd love to sell the jazz to you. I think that's much more likely to happen if you have your own thread so more people know there is a Stingray for sale. Good luck

I think this used to be my bass. I'm sad to see it getting sold on because it's a beaut - very light as well if it was my old one!

I think the bass weighs 9lbs, I'll check tomorrow but I think that was what my electronic scales said. (EDIT: see below for actual weights.)

(Don't worry King Tut, I do love this bass, really comfortable to play... but it has to go :/ )

Also new photos added!

I owned this between King Tut and Playbass! Its very light for a Jazz, and a cracking bass all round. I only sold it as I had too many 4 strings, and needed the cash for something else. Have a bump on me!
