Pre-Owned Fender CIJ 2004 Jaguar Bass

 This is a pre-owned 2004 Fender Jaguar bass, crafted in Japan. It features an alder body in Hot Rod Red, with a maple "C" neck, rosewood fingerboard and vintage style tuners and bridge (spiral saddle), as well as a plethora of pickup configurations. 

From Fender: 

"First, the first models of the Jaguar Bass had two pickups, each of which can be turned on and off. On the rounded lower horn is a chrome plate with three slider switches. The first switch is the on/off control for the neck pickup. The second (middle) switch is the on/off control for the bridge pickup. These two switches make it possible to mute the bass’s output without turning the master volume knob down; you can simply turn the pickups off. Careful though — you don’t want to accidentally switch the pickups off with a sweep of your hand while playing aggressively.

Second, the pickups can be used in series or in parallel. That’s what the third slider switch on that chrome plate does. With this switch in the up position (toward the strings), the pickups are in series, which delivers a bit more output and hence a bigger and louder sound. With this switch in the down position, the pickups are in parallel, which delivers more of a classic Jazz Bass sound. The series/parallel slider switch only works when the bridge pickup is on or when both pickups are on.

The two large rotary knobs near the input jack are master volume and master tone (passive treble roll-off, more precisely).

The chrome plate on the upper horn has a single slider switch and two inset control wheels. The switch selects active or passive electronics circuits; passive in the down position (toward the neck) and active in the up position. The adjacent inset control wheels are active treble cut and active bass cut, and they function only when the switch is in the up (active) position. The passive master tone knob near the input jack still works when the bass is in active mode, which allows even more tonal possibilities."

This bass is in good condition and has undergone a full setup and inspection from our in-house luthier. The neck is nice and straight, exhibits only lighter fretwear and fits comfortably in the hand. Cosmetically this bass has a handful of imperfection to the finish, in the form of several small scratches, dings, cracks and dents around the sides of the body, chipping to the headstock, and some chipping around the lower strap button as well as light general playwear, all of which can be seen in photos. 

Gator gig bag is included.
