FS/FT - 2000 Fender American Jazz Deluxe 4 Trans Red

morrisonhendrix · #1 08-30-2010, 06:05 PM

For sale is my 2000 Fender American Jazz Deluxe Trans Red 4 string. This is hard to do, but she's just never got that much playing time since I mainly play my Spectors. The body is trans red, noiseless pickups, maple neck with rosewood fretboard and abalone fret markers.

She is in top condition, with only three light scratches in the finish on the back, two of which (very light and don't show up in photographs) were there when I bought it new from Guitar Center. The third one is in the bottom of the "U" of the lower horn on the back of the bass, to the bottom left of the Fender plate. Very light swirls on the back as you'd expect, but hard to see unless you sky-light them. This bass has never been gigged.

There are no dings, dents, scratches, blemishes of any sort on the neck or headstock. They're as close to mint as you can get in a used bass. Recently had a setup done with fresh 45 gauge strings (can't remember what kind, stainless steel I think).

Comes with gig bag.

$850 Paypal or USPO money order, shipped to CONUS only.

~~No trades unless it's a nice 5er with blocks and binding, and a huge deal going my way that I can't pass up~~.

TRADES: I'll trade for a 5 string version of this bass, or a 5 string Am. Dlx. P bass.

Here's a link to the pics:

Hello
My name is Filip. I just find today the Fender you are selling over your thread. I'm interested in purchasing the bass guitar from you today! I'd like to contact you in terms of the transaction, but you are not providing the contact email address. Also, I tried to send you a personal message via the forum, but I do not know if it passed through. Light speed payment through the paypall account!!! Thank You and Have Nice Day, Regards, Filip.

You sound like a scammer. PM responded to.

dolphin.filip · #8 09-05-2010, 06:20 PM

What kind of scam? Excuse me for saying so, but I do not understand what you're talking about! This is serious business offer! Are you offering the guitar for sell or not? Regards, Filip.

morrisonhendrix · #9 09-05-2010, 06:22 PM

Sorry pal, I don't feel comfortable selling it to you. You may be legit, I have no idea. You just joined TalkBass today, and the only posts you have are in this thread.

I hope you find another bass here on TB that you like.

dolphin.filip · #10 09-05-2010, 07:14 PM

Hmm, this is a very strange way of trading! Why are you offering to sell something what you do not want to sell? Is this within the rules of this forum? However you have my email address. Rethink this and call me later. Regards, Filip.

krustwell · #11 09-05-2010, 07:49 PM

had almost the exact same bass and ended up selling it for what you're asking. i felt it was too low, given how awesome these basses are, but the market dictates. hopefully someone will get it and appreciate it for what it is: an outstanding Jazz bass!!

It's my perogative to sell it to whoever I want to. I won't rethink anything. Thanks for the bump though.

I am a wealthy Nigerian prince and I want to buy your 4 string guitar of the electric kind. I have several billion million dollars in an account that I could send you as payment but you would have to first send me your social security number, bank account number and $419 cash to cover the taxes and fees.

hi morrisonhendrix, I agree with you, that dolphi.filip was not very convincing from the start, but the way you treated him was not right... my friend DalajVladan showed me this thread on our Czech bass forum (http://translate.google.cz/translate...1467%26p%3D222) as I know his whole story (I just bought his old bass and he needs replacement) and I (as just an observer here) felt like I have to write something, because this whole suspicion is wrong... you definitely have the right to sell the bass to whoever you want but what do you risk with paypal? I mean - I don´t want to interfere to your business - but you should realize, that there are honest and serious bassplayers even outside USA... do what you want, but don´t throw dirt on everybody not from USA... I can see that you are playing Czech Spector - and considering it´s first on your instrument list, you probably like it... so get this message - Czech Republic is not a third-world country with nigerian-like business proposals... peace man!

morrisonhendrix · #18 09-06-2010, 10:12 AM

The way I treated him was not right? Are you high?

I declined his lowball offer through PMs and he still wouldn't take no for an answer.

There's no mistreatment here, except on his part (hijacking my thread) and his buddies (or maybe it's him registering as different user names). Notice that he and the other Czech guy in this thread have NO FEEDBACK. I got another PM from a third Czech guy trying to buy it from me, telling me it wasn't a Nigerian scam, and trying to do damage control. In fairness, this third Czech guy has positive feedback, but I'm not going to ship outside CONUS, like I said in my original post!

Sorry, no dice.

I know there are serious bass players outside the U.S. I never said anything about anyone outside the U.S. or that the Czech Republic is a Nigerian scam. Someone else posted the Nigerian scam comment. Yes, my favorite bass is my Czech made 5 string Spector, great observation.

Now, write this down, I'm not selling the bass to him. It's my bass, and my perogative.

If you insist on hijacking my thread, I'll have to contact the moderators for assistance.
