SOLD Fender Jazz Bass 62 AVRI Oly White-Price Drop

Up for sale is my USA built 2008 Fender 62 AV RI Jazz bass with Olympic White finish and a factory painted matching headstock. $1100 Shipping Included to 48US Only.

I would rate the condition excellent, but not mint. From 5 feet away it looks like a million bucks, close up it shows signs of normal player wear. Trying to be thorough here: the most significant being some scratches and discoloring along the bottom/back edge that I've shown in pictures. Small spot/slight dent near control plate. Some small dents in the buckle rash zone on back that are so slight they really don't show up in pictures. Some very slight barely perceptible difference in finish in that spot where your right hand rests above the pick guard and neck pick up. All things that would be fairly typical for a 10 year old lacquer finish bass that has gotten some good honest playing time. The back of the neck is smooth as butter and clean of nicks and bruises and dents, and remarkably, I managed to keep that beautiful headstock free of nicks and dings the last two years. No small task for me.

About that headstock, the previous seller indicated in the FS thread that he had correspondence from the original owner that it was a special order when purchased new, and that the headstock was painted by the Custom Shop. Whatever the story, it certainly looks the part and matches as if it has always lived that way. BTW, that's not a crack on the back of the headstock, just a line where the wood grain is dark. You can see a similar line down towards the bottom of the neck.

Weight is 9.5 lbs. Strung up with the Chromes I bought when I purchased two years back. Sale includes all case candy and paperwork and original case as shown in the pictures. I almost installed the ash trays, but never could get myself to put drill to wood.

The rosewood board on this bass is a really beautiful dark piece of wood. One of the nicest I've ever seen. The finish is also starting to do that yellowing thing that Oly White lacquer finish basses do. You can really see it when the sun catches it just right, it positively glows. Super cool bass that I will miss, but can't keep them all and it's time to move on and try some other things.

PayPal accepted. Will ship via FedEx Ground.

NO TRADES

 

Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.

 

First one is in the shade.

Second one is catching a little more sun.

 

Still trying to think of ways to keep this, but too many basses on my plate

 

OH, no no no. Made in the US of A.

 

I must admit, I never noticed that nowhere on the bass does it say USA.

Here's the FS ad I purchased from. Scroll through and you can see where I got my information on the matching headstock and some discussion about MIJ/MIA. See post #19, where it appears previous owner mentions the neck stamp.

I could be wrong about this, so I offer this not as all in any sort of way as verification, but I thought I read somewhere that the MIJ version of this bass only came in the 3-knob configuration. Don't hold me to it, but someone messaged me about stack knob versus 3-knob and I thought I might have read that along the way.

Bottom line: if anyone ready to hit their PayPal button really needs me to pull the neck before doing so, I will. Just message me. I'll also say this, I trust the seller from whom I got this that it is what he said it is, and based upon that alone, I will 100% warranty this bass is US made and will refund entirely and pay all return shipping costs to anyone who buys it and proves beyond and reasonable doubt it was MIJ.
