Details

Decided to thin the herd some, so up for sale is my 2005 American Standard Jazz. Ash body, Maple neck/board. Translucent Sunset Orange finish. Equipped with a Hipshot Xtender & Fret FX LED array (green). Still in fantastic shape with only a few little blemishes that I can't capture with a camera. I'll include a Fender HSC.... Not the prettiest, but functional.

Looking for $850 (obo) shipped.

I'm thinking about selling mine as well, but it has great sentimental value. I'm not sure what to do. Bump for a sweet bass :)

It is a great sounding/playing bass. I just have too many right now, so it has to go. :-( I hope she gets a good home.

How many basses do you have currently? I tend to use my '06 jazz more (last two records). I might end up keeping it and just selling a few things and buying something else...I'm thinking of selling my acoustic bass, my sansamp, old iphone etc. stuff I don't use at all really to buy something new. Maybe you convinced me to keep it haha.

Bump again for a sweet bass. Someone nice take it!

I'm up to 5 basses. Not a lot by some standards, but times are tough. My band isn't gigging as much as before & I'm having trouble finding another project. So, I think it's time to clean house....

I hear ya. I have 5 basses and one acoustic. I never really use my acoustic, and rarely use my jazzes and one of my P's. I am still playing a lot, but always use my '71. I am debating getting rid of two of my basses and getting something other than Fenders. Tough choice. Bump for a great bass, someone buy this :)

No pics with the LED's????

I do love the color. No funds though. I have 2 basses and am trying to sell 2 of them. If they sell than I'll be back.

Well...... Since you asked...... :smug:

Pix are blurry cuz you have to disable the flash. Otherwise you can't see the LED's. But, you get the idea......

Beautiful! Don't see the sunset orange basses much anymore. I have one that is a 2004.

Are the LEDs easily removable? Was the bass modified in any way to install them?

Does it have the S1 switch?

The LED's are just a stick on deal. No mods to the bass it's self. One would just have to pull the array & switch unit off, and maybe clean up a little adhesive residue?


Here's the manufacturer's site.....

Yes, it does have the S1 switch.

Yes..... You can see tons of wood grain through the finish. Pic attached. The white spot is the light from the ceiling, not a blemish.

I know there's a couple little, and I mean little dings on the back. The only remotely noticeable ding I could find is on the edge of the body offset. See the attached pic.

I have gigged this bass for the last year and a half or so, but I take great care of my gear. It's in excellent shape for it's age & all the places it's been!!

This is part of why I'm going back to a less expensive bass. People tend to be careless of things that don't belong to them. Especially at gigs when everybody is crammed into a little space & trying to do their own thing. This is a gorgeous bass, and it drives me nuts when someone bumps into it. I've been lucky so far.... No real damage, but it stresses me out all the same. Time to go back to a beater......
