    Here is my 1987 Fender Jazz Bass Special, "Black Duff" all original.
    Excellent condition minus a 'lil headstock ding or two.

    Only selling as I just have way too many and am really digging my new Ibanez Workshop basses.

    Did I mention it's All Original? Indeed it is and sounds/plays fantastic.

    Yes, it has the "through the body" neck heel adjustment, wish all Fenders still had this.

    As with all of my purchases, I clean the hardware, wax the body, set the relief, action and do any fretwork if needed. (Yes, I'm qualified).

    $800 Shipped to the Con USA in a nice RoadRunner "soft" hard case. Price is firm.

    8.6lbs / Nut width: 1.51" / 12th Fret width: 2.244"

    I apologize for the lousy pics. My good camera is broke and I had to use an iPhone.
    You can see more pics HERE

    The ONLY trade I'd be interested in is a Lakland 44-64 Custom P/J with a Natural finish and maple fretboard/blocks.

    Thanks for looking.

    This would be on its way to my house if it had the black neck damn!

    Hey Dan! Does the finish color on the back back of the neck really make that much of a difference?

    I don’t think it affects tone but I’ve just been into painted necks lately ;-) Glwts!

    Great bass! I have one with a black neck muahahah. Anyone that has had a desire for one of these, you won't be sorry, great players and killer sound. The pickups are growly but can be tamed by turning the volume down slightly.

    EDIT: This bass is in Very Good condition for its age. 8.5/10 IMO. Shiny paint, no fret wear, no board dings or wear. 1 small thing on the back of the neck, and 1 by the controls, (Pictured below).
    Few others on the back of the body as expected with a 33yr old bass. Doesn't look like it's seen 33yrs of playtime at all.
