FS is my Modded up Squier Deluxe Active Jazz 5 sunburst (looks like the Fender tobacco burst to me). Bass is in excellent condition with no dings or scratches... just a little slap-swirl in front of the bridge Pup.
Mods: Dimarizio Ultra-Jazz 5 pickups
Professional fretjob
Switchcraft jack
Fender 500k Blend pot
Neck sanded and refinished with Butchers Paste Wax
Carved Wood finger ramp
The Dimarzios are some AMAZING pickups.... I settled on these on my last bass after trying a bunch of stuff. Very "Live" and "Full". I prefer them to the several models of Bart J's Ive tried, and much prefer them to the Seymours Ive had. Seriously grindy, full pups. The word around TB is that Sadowsky's jazz pups are simply rebranded Dimarzios.... Although I can say from experience they do sound identical IMHO... I dont know if that rumor is true.
The Ramp was made by my Guitarist's father, who is a cabinetmaker. It does quite well for this bass, and fits snugly without tape....
Will ship with brand new MF padded gigbag and a Monster Bass cable.
I Would like to trade this plus cash for an up-market 5 or 6 string. I can add up to $1000 in cash to this trade for the right bass, so if there's anyone looking to thin their herd but still wants to have a backup this is great deal. I have put a great deal of elbow grease into making this an extremely nice sounding and fast playing bass.... I will stack it up against any stock MIM Fender Jazz any day of the week. Im so confident in the sound and playability of this bass I will gladly trade back if you decide you dont like it when it arrives. I have this set up with stupid low action at the moment but I can set it up anyway you want it before shipping.
Feel free to run just about any 5 or 6 string OF GREATER VALUE by me. Worst I can do is say no. I can say right now that I am definitely

*** WARNING *** Its tough times for a lot of us right now. One of the many unwanted results of the recession that Ive seen is a lot of "Shot in the dark" Pm's whenever Im selling in classifieds, and even more cancelled deals due to the buyer not actually having the money. This bass has been 'SOLD' several times here already to people who never had the cash to begin with and later cancelled. PLEASE do not contact me unless you actually want to BUY the bass or trade out. PM's to the tune of -
" I know you said no 4 strings BUT... "
" Will you take my broken dvd player in trade? "
" Will you take $50 now and the rest later? "
" Will you sell me just the pickups and the tuners? "
will NOT get a response. My apologies in advance.
