USA Limited Edition Fender 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass STACK KNOB + OHSC £1300 EH1111RF

[Robert Manning]

Quite rare and special Jazz bass.

 

i'm not using it enough to justify its value and rarity. 

 

Meticulous fret level job done by Chris McIntyre (Sie bass, etc) so the action can be insanely low if you want... I got him to also bevel the ends of the frets so the fingerboard feels 'invisible' which is important considering the tall vintage frets are normally a bit bumpy on the treble side. 

 

Has a small body notch so you can adjust the vintage style truss rod WITHOUT removing the neck! Just taking off the scratch plate. 

 

Comes with original Mint condition tweed fender hard case with the commemorative fender anniversary embroidery + All the case candy and certificates etc, and covers. 

 

Currently fitted with Babicz bridge - will be sold with just the original - can leave it on for an extra charge. It's not needed to be a good instrument but I really enjoy how easy it is to adjust and stay put

 

This has never left the house. And is almost mint! It is NITRO lacquer!!! so... there's a few small mini dings shown in pictures this is just from studio use, it is a very fragile finish; minor checking on headstock near the machine head, won't show in photos and only visible with reading glasses on lol but want to be transparent. 

it can either be a case queen for ever or someone please give a good hard life and get some mojo! 

. no gigs. not even a rehearsal. So this bass is pretty much new still, it's not really lived yet. Studio use only. 

Will hold and climb in value.

 

Sounds a lot different to my STD jazz USA which i'm sure is down to the pickups, its has a much higher dynamic range (that's not good nor bad) a bit more of a sweeter fat low end, moderate mids and glassy highs when both PUs on. Bridge is very... Jaco. Neck PU solo'd - is my fave. Very good recording tone.  

 

***Ill find out the exact wight but I think its around 4.2kg*** 

 

Edinburgh 

 

Potential trades: value of £1500 aprox.  Modern Jazz style, Steamers, maybe Specter... modern 4 string basses with flat necks etc.

Beauty!

 

I had one of these…. Stunning metallic finish, a great neck with smooth binding and lovely build quality, plus a good variety of tones available with the stack knobs.
