Description: 

Here for your consideration is a 1996 MIJ Fender The Ventures Limited edition Jazz Bass JB-165VR in very good condition! Autographed on the front by Bob Bogle (black on black so hard to see) & on the rear by Leon Taylor. A beautiful and rare piece of Ventures history and also a great playing 70's style Jazz Bass! Featuring a lightweight Ash body, gold hardware, bound rosewood fretboard with block inlays, and a one piece (no separate electronic control cavity) pick guard. Body shows some light surface marks but is overall in very good condition. The Bob Bogle autograph on the front is pretty hard to see as it was written in black on the black/grey body, but is present and can be seen up close. The Leon Taylor autograph on the rear of the body is overall still in good condition but has faded a bit in some areas. Neck is in great shape. Headstock shows a small ding on the front edge (see photo), but is otherwise clean. Fretboard is in excellent condition and frets show essentially no wear at all. Hardware is in great shape. Electronics work great and features a set of 70's style Jazz Bass pickups that sound good and punchy. A rare and super cool piece of Ventures history that would be a perfect addition to a collection, or just a killer Jazz Bass that feels great! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes hard case.

Pleasantly surprised by these nice flip flops
Size: 8 Wide, Color: Dusty Rose
I was pleasantly surprised by these flip flops. I wear an 8 in womens and they fit perfectly. I also have pretty wide feet and ordered a wide size and they fit perfectly that way too. They seem durable, are comfortable and wear nicely but I am disappointed that they already have 2 small spots where the material is wearing already. I will say I wear these a lot, nearly every day for a few hours at least, sometimes more, so maybe that's why they have the 2 spots of wear already. Overall I'm happy with these!

A little snug in the straps
Size: 13, Color: Light Brown Leopard
These are cute; but the straps are kind of tight. I do have large (size 13) feet, but they’re not fat feet, so the straps being tight was a bit of a surprise. That being said, they’re cute and good quality for the price! I’ll likely order a couple more pair and hope they stretch out with regular wear!

Nice at first but peeled later
Size: 7 Wide, Color: Dark Brown
The item looks gorgeous and was comfortable, however, after getting some water on it, and walking a bunch, the material started peeling up. I now may need to toss them.

Run Small
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
WARNING ⚠️ These run on the small side. I am between an 8.5 and 9 in women's shoes and these are size 9 and I am still not convinced I shouldn't buy the 9.5 (something I've never had to do). They have a little cushion, a little tired on the bottom, and are comfortable. The price can't be beat!
