Fender CS NOS 60's Jazz bass - *SOLD* £1600

[Legion]

I got this in trade recently with the intention of moving it on as I need cash a lot more than I need another bass. Lovely custom shop 60's style jazz bass in NOS which is pretty much aged but not reliced.

Sounds awesome and plays great, slightly chunkier neck than I was expecting for a jazz (which I like) which I imagine is the vintage neck profile. First time I've played a stack knob variation as well and I really like it. To be honest if I wasn't trying to clear a debt with a deadline I'd keep this. All case candy present along with the certificate. In as-new condition which the photos hopefully show.

Weight is about 9.5 lbs which seems pretty typical for jazzes of this type.

Yet another stunning bass

That slightly-chunkier -and-meatier than you might expect ( but still very comfortable) neck profile is indeed the vintage- correct profile for the very early Sixties stack knob Jazz Basses.

Lovely bass , stunning burst, and bear in mind all the metalwork usually adds about six ounces or so to the weight, so without that this bass would be substantially lighter, too.

Absolutely gorgeous bass. Thats a great price as well!!

Worth mentioning that more recent Fender Custom Shop basses like this one have now got quartersawn necks, too.

I have a BC'er that's very interested and had asked for soundclips so I recorded 3 mins of noodling about to give him an idea. I figure it might be of interest to others checking it out as well:

That was all recorded as follows:
bass --> PJB superflightcase --> DI out --> Focusrite sapphire --> Ableton Live. No tweaking or any manipulation.

This bass is pure badness. Check it out! Somebody's gonna have a very happy Bank Holiday weekend if they act quickly. If I wasn't buying a '69 Jazz Bass, it would most certainly be me!

Now on *HOLD* for a Basschatter

Glad in a way, I was going to reduce my 2000 Hot Rodded tonight, to complete funding for this.
Somebody is going to be very happy

And now gone... thanks all.
