Big Bass Sell-off #2. Fender (U.S.) '75 Reissue Jazz. This one was made in 2000, which I think was the 2nd year for these. I ordered and bought it new in 2000 from Yarbrough's Music in Memphis, so I'm the only owner. In excellent condition other than normal scratching on the pickguard and a small chip on the back of the bass near the neck-plate (as shown in the pics). This one was my go-to for many years, so it has been gigged a lot, but well-taken care of.
I know people say this all the time, but this is a fantastic bass. Killer tone and playability. I'm getting old, so I've decided to sell off a few of my basses. This one comes with the original case, and most of the case candy. I think the only "candy" missing is the Fender strap that came with it. Both the bridge cover and the neck pickup cover are included. They were never installed.
So why am I selling it if it's so nice? I have a bunch of Jazzes, and this one has been sitting in it's case a lot without being played. The only reason for that is that over the 18 years I've owned it, I've become bored with the look of it. Which is odd, because when I first bought it, I thought it was the most beautiful bass on Earth! I had to have it. (Okay, maybe not "on Earth", but I thought it was gorgeous.) I still get lots of positive comments when I do play it out. But I've become more enamored with other colors, so this Natural beauty has become expendable.
One word of warning though: This is not a lightweight. It weighs in at just over 10 pounds (10 lb., 1 and 1/2 oz.). Not bad with a good strap though. But I know 10 pounds is a deal-breaker for a lot of you.
I don't have or use PayPal, so U.S. Postal Money Order or certified bank check please. But check my feedback.
$1,100.00 for a local sale within commuting distance of Memphis. $1,170 shipped.
