That bass was about $27-2900 when it was sold new. I came very close to snagging it. The only thing that stopped me was, if it developed neck issues, I would not be able to repair it under warranty.

Isn't that the case with any used instrument?

I'm talking about when it was a new instrument, hanging on a wall in the store . Called Fender and that was their story at the time.

Holy carp! Did they say why?

Until now, never heard of Fender not covering neck repairs on a new instrument bought from an authorized dealer. And in this case, a Custom Shop bass.

had something to do with me being in the USA and the bass being in Europe.

If you look for a cheaper Jaco style Jazz Bass - Fernandes 1982
I am selling mine on Arni's
