geilerbass Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I've been seriously considering a 5-string Jazz of late... Yours looks like a beaut - any idea what the string-spacing is on it?

wal4string Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Its the weekend. Surely time for a bump and a quick thank you to all our readers. The odd remark, question or thoughts would not go amiss either! Edited July 31, 2011 by wal4string

Yours looks like a beaut - any idea what the string-spacing is on it?[/quote] I now its been a while since you asked about string spacing and never having the need to bother with this I simply measured the space with a ruler. However, I have just discovered something new regarding the bridge. You do infact have more than one option for string spacing. Each saddle has 3 or 4 grooves which the string can sit inside allowing for different spacing options. As I say I was totally unaware of this fact. If you need a better or detailed explanation let me know. The widest can be 21 mm I believe. Edited July 31, 2011 by wal4string
wal4string Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Had name of bass posted incorrectly. I called it a USA Fender Deluxe Jazz. Who knew? Also found out by chance about the adjustable string spacing. Have now included a close up image of a 4 string Jazz to show how this can work. Spacing can be even or uneven. Raking on the G string now really possible by moving string over one notch towards the D string. In the past this was limited as string was easilly pulled off the fretboard.

Thanks for the update on the spacing, as I said I knew nothing about this, but as far as the correct name goes, I think you may well be wrong. I Googled both names and I found the identical bass to mine. I know I could be wrong but everything points to it being a Fender American Deluxe and not as you say. I searched out the 2009 broshure and have included a snapshot of the page with my images. In the meantime to be 100% have also sent Fender the Serial# so they can confirm.

joe_bass Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Fender American Deluxe jazz or Fender USA Deluxe jazz? Theres no difference?

[/quote] This is exactly what I thought until I tried to find out more about the string spacing, it was then I discovered that unless I typed in the correct name then I could not find any trace of my bass. Waiting to hear from Fender(could take forever) to see what they say. Ron
