Details

This is a CIJ Fender '75 RI jazz that I bought here on TB. Fender Japan calls the color (OCR) old candy apple red. A previous owner replaced the pickups with Nordstrand NJ4 singel coils. They sound great!!!! A previous owner also knocked down the high gloss on the back of the neck down to a super smooth satin finsh. After I bought it, I replaced the stock tuners with a set of "Fender" stamped Schaller tuners....the same ones that come on the US '75 RI. I didn't have the chrome bridge cover on in the pics but it does come with both the neck pickup and bridge covers. There are some scratches in the clearcoat near the output jack, both strap buttons and on the face near the pickguard (see picture with green arrows where I tried to show the ones that actually show up in the pics). They are all fairly deep in the clearcoat but they do not show up in pics very well. You really don't notice them unless you are right up on the bass. Other than that, the bass is in great shape. Comes with Fender deluxe gig bag.

I am looking for $775 shipped to lower 48 US. Paypal or money order.

Too bad no one has bought my fretless Stammie or(as-yet-to-be-listed-for-lack-of-pictures)73 Precision or I'd be all over this one. :(
Want, want, want...

btw, that bridge pickup looks like it's in the 60's position not the 70's??

Yeah, it is in the 60's position. Every MIJ/CIJ '75RI Jazz is like this. As far as I know, the Geddy Lee is the only Fender Japan jazz bass with the 70's pickup spacing (except for the picture used in all Fender advertising. What's up with that???).

I have the same bass in teal with overwound Lindy Fralin pups. This bass sings, probably even more with the Nordstrands!

These babies have very comfy necks.

Actually the Geddy and the Marcus Miller Bass are 70's position and MIJ/CIJ


Just FYI
