2001 Fender Mexico Jazz Bass Electric Bass Guitar



Overview: This is a pretty bog-standard Jazz Bass with a comfy, quick neck and good, solid sound. It always pays to put one of these guys through a decent amp to see what they really do, though! I remember when I first learned, I learned on a Jazz but was playing it through a junk amp and I always thought my friend's Precision sounded so much better. Once I upgraded to a real amp, I started understanding how John Paul Jones got that sound. Yip!


Repairs included: It got a level/dress of the frets, cleaning, and setup work done by Max. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: This had the usual fretboard-extension-area Fender ski-jump going on, but during the level/dress process enough meat got removed from the last frets to ameliorate it. There's mild wear and tear throughout the bass, otherwise -- small scratches, nicks, and dings here and there and hardware plating wear.


It comes with: It has a decent case or gigbag, as I recall.
