Hi all, I picked up a lefty Japanese Fender Jazz that is white with a red tortoiseshell p/g, rosewood f/b. I've seen a few of them around....what is it worth? It hasn't arrived yet (Friday?) but it is 'supposed to be' in really good shape. I know, hard to say, right? Just a rough ballpark figure would help. I'll get some pics when it gets here. Thanks, Alan |

Between 5-600 in good condition is fair. Did you get it on Ebay? I was looking at one that went for under 400. Was that you? If so you got a hell of a deal |

I've been meaning to sell my MIM Jazz, just too lazy. Should I use the For Sale for trades as well? |

Matt R. wrote: If it's a natural finished FSR model I'm interested No, it's just a regular ol' MIM Jazz. They don't seem to be going for much on Ebay, so I never bothered selling it. Same goes for my MIA Strat. Now that I really know what I like in a bass, I wish I could order something from Japan.  Loved my MIJ Strat.

Is it a basswood or alder bodied Jazz Bass? I picked an alder bodied one three months ago. Fantastic quality. Bought it for 400 Euro. Will never sell it. |

Sorry to interupt the hijack, but the bass came in today. It's in great shape! It has an Mxxxxxx number which apparently means it was made in 1992-3. Needs some clean-up and set-up but it's gonna be a good'un! I'll try to get pics soon. |

Usually the alder basses have different tuners.  Link to thread. |

Thanks Rikkers6, mine looks like your pic so I assume it's basswood. |

Usually the basswood models have smaller tuners. Did you shoot some pics jet?

Why are you so interested in a price if you already purchased it? |
