Hi, doesn't look like the traveller card with all the bass specification is with the case so wondered if you know what pickups your bass has please? Thanks.

[Guest]

Hi Alan , the bass is in completely standard specification so the pick ups are the ones that fender fit at the factory for this model , so not sure of the exact detail on that but i do know they sound pretty fantastic! 

Cheers,

Mick

I’m not sure the traveller card was standard issue at the time this stunning bass was made. I have a slightly earlier CS 60 Jazz which I bought from new and it does not have the ‘build sheet’. However, on request, Fender kindly emailed me one a couple of years ago!

 

My pickups are stated as - Vint J-Bass Rhythm and Vint J-Bass Lead (relic).

 

Hope that helps?

[MungoBass]

......oh and Mick says, they sound fantastic!

[NAS Bass]

CS 64 Jazz’s are outstanding! 

[Guest]

Thanks for that info Mungobass !

Yes indeed NAS Bass they are outstanding ,  i think if times were not so tough for everyone at the moment this would have gone ages ago.

Thanks,

Mick

Many thanks MungoBass. Any idea of how the vintage pups compare to current custom shop hand wound ones?

[MungoBass]

Sorry @Alanbass, no idea! Is it possible the vintage ones are also handwound?

Is the neck quarter-sawn? What does the specs sheet say in this regard?

There are references in this thread two weeks ago in relation to the spec sheet.

Are you speaking for the OP? I’d like proper questions to receive proper replies .. yours is not a good example in this regard .. so the OP doesn’t have the specs sheet and I didn’t read all previous posts, ok, but the question remains: “is the bass’ neck quarter-sawn?” .. possible answers: YES/NO/I DON’T KNOW.

 

Thanks.

Thank you for your guidance. If you had taken a few seconds to read the thread, you would hopefully have seen one of your ‘proper’ questions had already been discussed. Have a nice day.

[Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati]

My question concerns the kind of neck this otherwise very well made CS J bass has been provided with .. the OP stated ‘any questions fire away!’ … I’m firing but your replies Mungo are underwhelming at the least …

[MungoBass]

Well at least 3 other people disagree with your opinion! 😀

[Clarky]

If it helps, every 1964 Custom Shop relic I googled - including from those made around the same period - had a quarter sawn neck.
