Here is a stunning Fender Jazz Bass in Lake Placid Blue in the style of a ‘62 in great condition. This bass has a Fender Japan Alder body, brand new parts which include Allparts concentric knobs in Nickel and Black, CTS dual concentric pots, 2 dime .47 capacitors, Switchcraft input jack, cloth wiring, a Fender 4 threaded saddle Vintage Bass Bridge (at a cost of £60), Fender bridge & neck pickup covers and a Tortoiseshell pickguard with tugbar. Japanese after market, licensed by Fender, Maple Jazz neck with Rosewood fingerboard measuring 38mm at the nut and Phillips truss rod adjustment at the heel, built in the same factory as the AllParts necks (which cost £325 when first bought) with a 1962 Fender Jazz Bass decal and loaded with a Gotoh RB20 round string tree and Gotoh 3096NS Vintage Fender Pre CBS Kluson style reverse wind bass tuners (at a cost of £145). A free swap to a traditional Fender 4 hole Jazz Bass chrome control plate with Fender black plastic knobs, CTS pots etc is available as in option 13 below. A relic/roadworn look is also available if you want that complete vintage look, just let me know and we can discuss price (not expensive) depending on how much relicking is required.
