Where to buy this bass ?

[BassOutcast]

Hi everyone .
My birthday's coming up in a few months and I thought that a new bass would be good , but I've searched a lot and so far I haven't found this specific bass yet .
I'm looking for a Fender Jazz Bass , Left Handed , and the colors must be either 3 tone sunburst with a tortoise shell pickguard , or white with a tortoise shell pickguard .
I don't really care if 4 or 5 strings (Although 5 strings would be nice , there are some stuff I want to play with the extra string). I can't really afford the USA or Japan bass guitars so I need a Mexican one .
I need a store that ships to Israel (We have a lot of bass guitars here but almost no left-handed models ...)

Thanks in advance for every help I can get

Do you mean one of these?

I assume Musician's Friend ships internationally. It doesn't have your tortoise shell pickguard, but you could probably order one and screw it on without any trouble.

Oh and I just noticed - Squier has a VM jazz that does have your pickguard. Doesn't have the Fender name, of course, but I've never heard anyone say anything bad about the VM series.

I've seen the Musician's Friend bass before , It's not the same color as I wanted , (I mean I can just buy the tortoise shell pickguard separetly but I can't find one no matter where I've looked ...)

And I don't need a Squier bass , I already have an Ibanez GSR200L bass so a squier won't be much of an improvement .

And I really prefer it to be a 5 string bass (A lot of metal songs and improvisitions use the extra B string).

That is the older Affinity series people think of when they make this assumption. The VM or CV series are much higher quality that and alot of people here on TB say they're as good if not better than MIM Fenders. The VM Jazz I bought was much better the GSR200 that used to have.

+1
my ibanez gsr200 was junk.
squier QC is better IMO, especially the VM and more so the CV series.

dont be fooled by the headstock, that will be something you will have to learn.

check out the tricked out squier club.

EDIT: clarification. im not saying all ibanez basses are junk. just IMO, something comparable to a squier and a ibanez, id choose squier.

Ok I'll think about it .
Plus I'm not 100% sure If I'll get a new bass anyway , I still need an amp (Been playing for a year with an old PC sub) , so maybe I'll get a bass with the amp ...

Anyways thanks .
