FS/FT Natural Fender Jazz

[JoshB]

I just got this from HiFi and it is a KILLER jazz, but my Geddy has just ruined me in terms of jazz basses. So off this gal goes. Since I've had the bass, I added a Hipshot vintage style bridge, (http://www.hipshotproducts.com/cart....t_detail&p=209) which made a good difference in terms of setup. The original bridge will be included as well. I also added a neck pickup cover. While it does nothing for the sound of the bass, it looks cool and that's important too right? Right. Last, but not least, I polished the frets, conditioned the fretboard and took some 0000 steel wool to the back of the neck to take a bit of stickiness off. It really plays great now!

Here's what HiFi had to say about this bass in his original thread...

The only "issue" is that it is missing one saddle screw, but the intonation and action are both great.

Note that with the new bridge, the "issue" does not exist anymore.

I got this bass, slapped on a set of Fender flatwounds and took it to a gig. It performed VERY well and sounded great!

I'm going to ask $450 shipped with a hardshell case.

Pictures? Oh yes...pictures...

Thanks for the offer, but I really don't need another jazz.

[JoshB]

this is up for trade too, but HiFi has first dibs...

I really do highly recommend this bass as a great player. If I was paid during the summer, I might have bought it back already.
