FS/FT: MIA Fender Jazz V deluxe - 5 string

[blakelock]

hey all,

bought this'un on TB ~7months ago (original thread). it plays nice, sounds good but i'm done experimenting and ready to move on to something new. it's a 2002 black fender jazz deluxe 5 stringer with tort pickguard. has the preferred 5+1 tuning post head and comes with original case.

$850 shipped CONUS or possibly trade+-$ for
- music man stingray 5

Awesome bass! I have the same 2002 version with a maple board. It's in my "never sell" pile. What a tone! Even acoustically!
Great price! Good luck!

thanks for the compliments/bumps on the bass. the tone is pretty nice when the bass is set ~flat although it's a bit "active" for me (i prefer a somewhat dead-ish tone). the bass and treble adjustments are nice and mild, but the mid-range adjustment is a little aggressive for my tastes. swinging the mid knob drastically changes the tone. i guess this makes the bass very versatile, but it's just not for me.

cheers,
blake

hehe...it all depends on the previous night....

as far as dings/scratches, it's in very good shape. the only blemish i found is a small scratch between the pickguard and bridge pickup. it's looks like someone got carrried away with a swing of the pick. but it's only a single scratch and it's quite small. the last pic on the blog is an attempt to show it but it's barely visible.

thanks. i'm using ernie ball 2836 strings. i really love my EBMM stingray sound so i used the strings that are recommended for the stingray on the jazz. not sure if this is the best choice but it sounds good to me.

cheers,
