This is simply unique! I'd urge you to get it - and if you e.g. miss the Fender later, there are plenty of good Jazz Basses around and you'll be able to replace it when you can while this beauty is one of a kind. I'd go for it.

looks like it will take weeks or months 4 me to explore the sound. its incredible !!!
Its a beautiful, big, fat n heavy bass !!!

Like basstard said, you can always pick up a Fender later, but a find like this is rare. Why did the person want to get rid of it? Who cares?
