Last price drop - $1275

I keep buying Jazzes for some reason even though I prefer the tone of P basses...

Here we go again. Just bought this beautiful Jazz as an impulse buy here on TB. I always loved the white maple look of these. Got it, put LaBellas on it, and played it for a couple hours. Then I pick up my AO Precision and feel at home. I love the look of Jazz basses, but I just keep trying to make them sound like Precisions, which they don’t. Someday I will learn..

Neck is awesome and it plays really nice. Bridge has been changed to a threaded style at some point prior to arriving to me. Weight is lighter than my P...8 lb 13 oz on my scale. Every AVRI I’ve owned has been high quality, and this one is the same. Great bass, I just want to put a P pickup in it lol.

Comes with case with a couple of broken latches. Middle one works. Comes with bridge cover and I can throw in a neck pickup cover I have lying around. Bridge or saddles were replaced with a 60’s threaded style.

Looking for $1275 PayPal firm

Throw a couple of DiMarzios in there and that might as well be my lost 78.....
So tempting but my wife would literally kill me with it and I think the red stains would bring the value down... these play better than the vintage.

GLWTS!

I am remembering why I like Jazz basses and am bonding with this bass, so I’m going to remove the add for now

I really like this bass, but I am putting back up on the market. Prefer outright sale, but might be tempted with the right P bass. I really need a good acoustic guitar so would be interested in trades for a nice 6 string acoustic as well.

Regarding the case, I bought new latch mechanisms direct from G&G. Haven’t installed them, but will include them of course.

the e string appears to be further away from edge than the g. Is that the way it is or is it camera angle.?,

It was not lined up well on the saddle when I bought it. Please see the pics that I added at the beginning. The first pic shows to pretty well.

It’s fine now. The string was just setting too far inside on the threaded saddle when that pic was taken.

Neck is 1.5 width but has some meat to it. It’s not thin like some other Jazzes I’ve had, which to me is a positive.

You are correct and I thought I put that in the original description...bridge was changed to a threaded saddle bridge prior to me owning it. I prefer threaded myself anyway so that the string spacing can be fine tuned, but it is not original to the bass. I missed that in the original description and add it
