Now Sold - USA Fender Jazz V DLX Anniversary


JPJ
 Share

Recommended Posts

Here we have my USA Fender Jazz five string which I’ve owned for about the last six/seven years. The bass is the 1996 Anniversary DLX model which I have upgraded with Hipshot Ultralite tuners, Schaller strap locks and a J-Retro active circuit. The bass is finished in a interesting red colour which has a darker band around the edge (like a sunburst) and has a mother of pearl type scratchplate. The neck is narrow for a five string (what attracted me in the first place) and is reasonably light weight and comfortable to play. The bass comes with a Bass Centre Hiscox moulded flight case.

Again, the bass is well played though the battle scars on this one are limited to four ugly chips on the bottom edge of the bass (probably from an unprotected guitar stand).

Pricewise, as is with the Hipshots and J-Retro, I’m looking for £600 (including the original Fender tuners and active circuit). In original config, I’m looking for £450.

Delivery will be extra, but I will be prepared to meet up / deliver up to 100 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne free of charge.

Any questions, please ask.

Good luck with the sale..[/quote]

Cheers,

They are really nice basses, and since advertising it on here I've been playing it again, maybe I should ignore the GAS god's and keep her?

I would like some more infos :

which wood is the body made of ?
do you have photos of the original tuners ? are they the same as the hipshots or are they the big fender ones ?[/quote]

Hi Dead,

I'm not sure what wood the body is made from, possibly Alder?

The original tuners are exactly the same as the Hipshots, except they are chrome plated and weight slightly more!

Cheers

Kev

PM'd you.[/quote]
