how much is my bass worth??? fender jazz bass 2004 fender mim jazz neck with scaller tuners, been defretted/finished in poly by a pro luther. standard jazz pickups. the body is a adler/flamed (stripes perpendcual to the grain) red wood finished in tung.
Depends a lot on the quality of the defret and the quality of the flame. Is the flame real or photo? Do you have any pictures? I would assume 300-600 depending on quality. Who built the body?
the flame is real...and the body...i dont know but when i got it it wasnt finished or nothing. the defret job is great, no dead spot, low spots, high spots and the neck is stright!!!
Well...it's a parts bass from the look of things. Resale on such basses aren't usually terribly high, you're more likely to get more for the parts than the whole.
You may be able to get more if you were to take it a part, but really an essentially MIM Jazz parts bass is no more than $300, but more likely closer to $200 even with the upgraded parts.
+1 I've been watching a lot of parts basses on eBay lately, and the market seems pretty low for them. The PARTS however, seem to be going UP, so you might be best off selling it in pieces.
