Rick's Fine '52 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 do you have a pic of the case, is it the original CS tweed? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I don't have a tweed case for the bass. I can supply a black Hipshot case or a new Fender style US made C&G hard case, black with white binding .

paulie Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I have owned server Custom Shop Jazz Basses and my opinion of them is that in general they are not worth the money! A few of those that I have owned were reliced and to be honest I though the Custom shop was completely missing the mark on how the instruments age. They were tarnishing all the hardware, over-rusting the screws and bridges etc. The relicing on the bodies was good but they just seemed unrealistic when compared to the real thing. However, having just seen my first John Cruz Jazz bass from the Cunetto era Ive been blown away and my faith has been completely restored. These instruments are as close to the real deal as it is possible to get. Aged to perfection, ie I saw one in a shop in Dublin and it was hanging on the wall beside an L series 64 pre CBS Jazz. I couldnt tell the difference apart from the slightly different tuning pegs that the Custom Shop use. I was so impressed that I bought the bass, and it wasnt cheap. But it stands as the best Fender I have ever owned and that goes ahead of my 71, my 65 and a few later 70's ones. I certainly licks any of the previous Custom Shop basses I have owned. Also, the John Cruz is a Masterbuilt instrument, It commands a huge price new and the Cunetto era ones are really sought after. So this bass here is not only a fabulous instrument but its likely to be a good investment for somebody. Good luck with sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've played this baby, nice bass indeed and, in my humble opinion, the Cunetto era instruments will rise in value over the next few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
