As the title states, I have for sale a beautiful 2002 Fender Victor Bailey Artist Signature Series Jazz.
Bass is in excellent condition with some normal wear and tear and comes with a nice Fender logo tolex case.
The only minor flaw I can find is some wear around the truss rod adjustment which seems to be normal for these types of basses (see pic).
A previous owner installed a set of Seymour Duncan Bass Lines Lightnin' Rod active pickups, but the original Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups are also included.
Bass weighs in at a very manageable 9 lbs on my postal scale (9 lbs, .
5 oz to be exact).
Here is a description and specs from the Fender website:
The beautifully crafted Victor Bailey Jazz Bass® guitar incorporates the finest in design and electronics as specified by Bailey himself.
The sleek, exotic-looking body has koa and rosewood over mahogany; the maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard with Posiflex™ graphite neck support rods, abalone dot inlays, rolled fingerboard edges and highly detailed nut and fret work.
Special Design Noiseless™ pickups add warmth and low end, complementing the hardwood body's natural clarity and brightness and producing an extremely dynamic tonal range.
The circuitry has been tweaked at the input stage (pre-shape, boost and EQ settings) to enhance the unique sonic nature of the woods.
Bass EQ is centered at 40Hz at +/- 12dB with a 4dB per-octave slope; treble is centered at 8 kHz at +/- 10dB with a 2dB per-octave slope (treble cut serves more as a passive control for warm organic tones); mid-control is centered at 500Hz and +10dB and -15dB with a wide-band slope creating a distinctive voice.
For maximum headroom, the
circuit has an 18-volt power supply.
Other features include gold-plated hardware, Fender®/Schaller® deluxe lightweight tuners, and a Bailey caricature graphic on the headstock.

I realize I'm in La Crosse, but this is a great price on a great bass.
Not to mention, if you do make the drive to La Crosse to pick it up, you can visit Dave's Guitar Shop, which is one of the coolest independent guitar shops in the U.
S.
It's definitely worth the trip.
I am also willing to ship this bass, if you pick up the shipping costs.
Just reach out if you'd like a shipping quote.
Please feel free to reach out should you have any questions.
Thanks!
