Hard times. I need to sell this great playing bass, a 1993 Fender American Jazz, the last year of the famous "boner" basses, featuring an extended upper bout and a deeper cut lower bout, to allow access to all the frets.
Fender made these from '89 to '93, and there is no question they were much better than the years before them and much better than the years after them.
22 fret neck, and plays like a dream. Shows some honest player wear.
The previous owner added top of the line EMG active pups. I didn't really like the sound, so I had the wiring modded to 18 volts. Wow! The difference was like night and day. Great tone, tons of headroom. Tremendous improvement.
I had the frets dressed. Since it is a player (instead of a museum piece), I added a battery holder to the back for convenience. Now changing batteries is a 10-second process.
The only other thing I did was to replace the bridge with a later model Fender bridge. The reason was that the original bridges are just a tad wide, and can cause issues with the G string.
Price reduced to $575. No case, but packed with loving care. CONUS. Paypal or USPS money order.
