Details

Been struggling with this decision. Finally time to let my 97 Jazz Deluxe go. This is a 97 with the Suhr pickups and preamp. It is Shoreline Gold with an aged pearl pickguard. Everything is stock.
I got this bass in 2003 and it has been my main gigging bass since. I moved to a 5 a few years ago and this has just not seen any use.
It is NOT a closet queen. I have drug this out at many many gigs. It has fretwear, buckle rash, scrapes and bumps. It plays and sounds great. Comfy 22 fret neck setup with low action. It is setup with Daddario balanced tension lights. It has a string through bridge. It is an active 9V pre. It weighs 9.4lbs.
It comes with the fender truss tool and the original hardcase. The case is beat up on the outside but functions fine. The case is missing one of the four latches and missing 3 of the 4 feet.
No trades.
$1250 shipped CONUS east of the Mississippi.

Is that the original finish, as far as you know? Didn't know they offered it in Shoreline Gold.
Cool bass!

Thanks! It is the Original Finish. They offered them in more colors than I knew about. I have not seen most of these and I have only seen one other Shoreline Gold.

Late 90s / early 2000s American Deluxe Fender basses are truly special. I played an American Deluxe Jazz similar to this one as my main player for many years, until I started to develop hand / wrist pain exacerbated by slim necks. But damn if that wasn't a great bass.

I've nothing but respect and great affection for my '96 Deluxe. Some lucky buyer will be quite pleased.

Love the Shoreline Gold! If I hadn’t just pulled the trigger on that Roscoe Beck this would have been hard to pass up.

Another late-comer but just saw this sorry -
Where did you find this out may I ask? Been trying to get more info on the Suhr deluxe range - especially colours!
Was told mine was vintage white, but I guess it's vintage blonde... or white blonde?? Would love to see every colour in the range so been trying to find if an old catalogue or something existed somewhere.
