Andy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Up for sale is my 1965 Jazz bass in excellent condition £8000ono here's Andy Baxters appraisal of this bass......... [color=#474747][font=FontinSansRegular]1965 L series, Fender Jazz bass, Sunburst finish. Very clean. This bass is in excellent condition, the pickguard is beautiful, showing no signs of cracking and all metal work is still shiny. The neck shows only a small amount of play wear on the E string edge. The body has various small nicks, dings and bruises to the finish around the edges and very light buckle rash. Otherwise very light play wear. ( none of which has gone through to the wood) The metal cover over the back pickup has larger screw holes than the neck cover. This is either from a later '60s Jazz bass or, as it was a transitional period the two covers were not matched? Other than this the bass and case are all original. It's an awesome player with an amazing tone up and down the fretboard. No dead spots whatsoever. The frets show virtually zero wear.[/font][/color] [color=#474747][font=FontinSansRegular]This bass has been fully set up with a fresh set of strings by my technician Chris Ward. It has a fantastic action. The truss rod works in both directions and is flush with the end of the neck. The serial is: L98037. The weight: 9.1 lbs. The pots date to the 34th week of 65. The neck dates August 65. Width at nut: 1 & 1/2" . At the 12th: 2 & 7/32" . Depth at nut 13/16". At the 12th: 1".
