1998 Fender Darryl Jones Prototype Bass Rare One Silver

From the listing

Seller's description

In 2011 I was contacted through a mutual friend by bassist, Darryl Jones. I purchased two Fender basses from him and he shipped the instruments to me from LAX on my Southwest airlines account.Then I forgot to sell the basses.Three years ago I sold the 1966 Jazz bass. The other bass is for sale now. When he offered it to me he told me it is a Fender Darryl Jones Model prototype. That is what it is. What I did not realize at the time is that Fender never made a Darryl Jones model bass. Those are made by Lakeland.This must have been a model proposed by Fender to have him promote the brand. I think this is a one off prototype. It has a narrow Jazz Bass style neck and is a very well made instrument. It was made sometime before 2011 perhaps late 1990s. Mr. Jones was kind enough to include a picture of himself with the bass at the time.I am hoping to see the film that is coming out soon "Darryl Jones, in the Blood" of Mr. Jones life and exceptional career with Miles Davis, Sting , and for the last few decades playing bass within the Rolling Stones.
