I bought this a few months ago. I was looking for a great J5 and this definitely fit the bill. By far the best playing/sounding Fender, or any other J5, I've ever had. The action is amazing and super stable. I haven't had to adjust the neck since I set it the first time. When I bought it a few months back, the original owner had only had it for 2 months. I recieved it with all the plastic and hang tags still in place. I removed all the plastic. I shielded all the cavities with copper foil and this bass is dead quiet. I've always get great responses when I play this bass.
These pics are from the original owner. The only thing I've done is removed the plastic. There is a little scuffing on the pick guard now from being played, but that's all I'm aware of. I will go over it with a fine tooth comb after this weekend and report back if there are any other bumps, marks, or anything I'm not currently aware of. The original strings are still on this one and they still sound fantastic! I know I'll regret selling this one, but I've recently become a Music Man artist and am only selling to fund a new Music Man purcahse.
Comes with OHSC and all the case candy.
Weighs 9.6 lbs.
$1350+shipping. Lower 48 only please. I can't do international shipping at this time. If you have somewhere in the states to ship to and then they ship it the remaining way, we can work something out.
