PRICE LOWERED - 1998 Fender V Deluxe MIM Jazz w/gigbag

jmain · #1 12-28-2006, 01:22 PM

I wanted to keep this bass, but I can't. I have too many right now and can't justify keeping it.
I am the second owner. The first owner bought this NOS and decided he wasn't into 5 string basses.

It has the single-pole pickups designed by John Suhr (Pensa Suhr) when he was with Fender. The 3-band active eq gives a lot of tonal options. B string is nice on this one. It's really a sweet bass.

There are no dings, dents, or buckle rash. There is the normal swirls on the pickguard, but that's it. It's in mint condition. I cut the original Fender strings off when I got it. I applied lemon oil to the board and put a new set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys on it. Comes with a gigbag.

DROPPED: $480 shipped CONUS.
Would trade for a 55-01 or 44-01.
Or for a UL-112 or PS-112.

I've gotta pass on this one but I just played one of these and they're great basses for sure.

Need cash for this one. Great bass that I thought I could hold onto, but I need to sell it.

Thanks man! The board looks even better in person. I hope I don't regret selling this one, but I've got a JO5 heading my way and already have a Fender V that I can't sell. The rule is that if one comes in, one has to go out.

So this is the last one and it's gotta go.

Aha! On the JO5 boat again, what's the specs? PM me if you don't wanna derail your FS thread.

$480 shipped CONUS and I'll take care of the paypal fees.

The pre makes it crazy versatile and there's not a ding on it!

jmain · #14 01-01-2007, 07:50 PM

I gotta pack this bass up and quit playing in my practice room...

hope everyone had a great New Year Bump!!

jmain · #15 01-04-2007, 08:53 PM

Tough times after the holidays.

Still gonna bump it.

natselection · #16 01-06-2007, 09:29 PM

525? Damn I've got $450

Bump for a great deal

...and I m telling myself... "you really want a maple board, you really want a maple board". Got a Ken Lawrence I am trying to sell, if i had it sold, this would be a very tough call, because i had convinced myself to get a KSD as an inexpensive backup. Fenders just have the tone.

battle of the "for sale black w/ tort" MIM jazzes!

best of luck with the sale bump!

jmain · #19 01-08-2007, 11:34 AM

Thanks fellas! It is a great bass, I just have to let one go.

I bought it to route the front location for a P pickup so I'd have a P/J. But I think it's a killer jazz bass and too sweet as is to route. IMO, but I like these pickups way better than the newer Noiseless.
