I have the Jazz version of this same bass, they were a special order item at that time, if I was told correctly.

Bakersbass · #7 03-31-2012, 02:23 AM

Yes, it was a special order item, so not as many where made.. Great deal here

It was a stock color. Fender won't do special order custom colors on the US standard line. A store could do a special run, I suppose. If the store doesn't have it in stock they may need to special order it for the customer but that doesn't mean the color itself is not a stock color.

Back on topic...this is a great looking bass and it is fairly rare to see the rosewood and natural body combo. Good luck with the sale.

I think you are correct. I got mine from a friend and he told me that the store had to special order it because they did not carry it in stock, but he saw it in the catalog. Either way, I don't see too many around from that time. Thanks for the info.

Thanks gor the info, i was told it had to be ordered so i learned somethin today, still yet its a beatifull color, natural has always been my favorite.

And thanks, i hope this instrument goes to a good home, i dont want to sell, but home inprovment idervours often get more costly than origonaly anticipated. And i cant live with my house halfway tore apart lol

Sweet bass, if it had a maple fingerboard, I would be all over it.

Bakersbass · #13 04-01-2012, 09:21 PM

Bump, price lowered to 800 shipped

This beauty needs a new home

Bakersbass · #15 04-03-2012, 05:49 PM

Bump it up, this beauty is just resting in my closet.. Needs some love and play time

Carb_Rock_Doc · #16 04-03-2012, 08:39 PM

Are the spots on the neck just discoloration, or is the finish actually pulled off? Also, the body wood looks to be ash, and makes sense in a natural finish - can anyone confirm that?

Oh, yeah: what number follows the Z (Z0, Z1, Z2...)? That will narrow down the year.

Sweet P!!

Bakersbass · #17 04-03-2012, 11:41 PM

On the neck it is actaully the finish coming off, sad but its been that way since ive owned it

Since the neck i assume will need a refinish, ill do 750 shipped and thats as low as i can go..

More pics upon request, close ups, full shots, anything.

Carb_Rock_Doc · #18 04-04-2012, 04:59 AM

Ugh - bummer about the neck, but (assuming) the natural ash body makes it tempting. Have to think about that one...

The Z0 series would make it a 2000/2001 model. I have this one's brother in black, a 1998 version.

Cheers...

Bakersbass · #19 04-04-2012, 05:41 AM

At first a thought it was a 98 but after actually pulling it from the case and checking vin i realized it was more 00/01, but the body is perfect, there a few minor light surface scratches that pics wont show but nothing that wouldnt polish out with a good cleaning

This bass has been stored in its case for the better part of 5 years, i do pull it out occsionally to play a little and let it get some "fresh air"

I hate to sell it, i wanted to have the neck fixed and keep it but times are hard and my home is more important to me.
