Howdy!

I have a 40th Anniversary MIJ Oly-White Jazz Bass for sale.

Image

This picture is NOT current, but, other than the wider ground wire that comes with the Custom Shop p'ups, the bass still looks as good. I'll post current pics within a day or two.

It's a '96 with a 50th Anniversary Edition sticker on the headstock. Ser# U037427

It was updated with Fender "Custom Shop 60's Jazz Bass" p'ups and the control cavity has been shielded with foil tape. Electronics, wire and jacks were updated with hi-quality replacements including the BIG switchcraft pots. I still have all the stock electronics, and they will be included with the sale. The original neckplate was completely blank and has been replaced with a Fender logo neckplate.

It will also come with an official lefty Fender Custom Shop GG&G hard case. It's the black case with orange interior and the silver Fender logo on the side. The case is in perfect condition.

There is only ONE thing "wrong" with this bass. The previous owner tried to adjust the truss rod without taking the neck off first and damaged the finish and the wood underneath. I had this repaired... the wood was smoothed out, creating enough room for adjustments, and now it looks fantastic... you'll see it in the new pics I post.

The only other things are two very minor dings in the finish... other than that, the bass is MINT. Zero fret wear, BONE STRAIGHT neck, and overall high-grade Japanese craftmanship for the price. This bass has never left my house... I have hardly ever played it and have never taken it to a gig.

I'm asking $850 shipped (lower 48) for the whole package... case, old & new electronics, and bass. I'm willing to ship overseas, however I will ONLY ship UPS. It's spendy, but, for overseas shipping, it's the best way to track and insure a valuble package.

Cash/check/PayPal accepted... no trades. I need to cover the expense of a recent purchase.

Hmmm... good question. I always assumed it was alder.

Is there an easy way to tell?

Thanks guys!

I'm dropping the price on this to $800 before it goes to eBay next week...

It absolutely HAS to go to help pay off a recent purchase and I would much rather see it go to a member here than somewhere else.

Here are some sound bites of the bass I whipped up really fast if anyone is interested...

This is TOTALLY dry... no eq or compressors or anything on the bass. The only thing I used to color tone was the tone knob and the pickup volumes.

It's running directly into my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra, and was recorded with Reaper.

Click on each link below to play, or right click to save...

Bridge 100%, Neck 100%, Tone 100%, Fingers

Bridge 100%, Neck 20%, Tone 50%, Fingers

Bridge 100%, Neck 100%, Tone 100%, Slap & Pop

Bridge 20%, Neck 100%, Tone 100%, Slap & Pop

Anyway, I wish I could have spent a little more time on it, but, yeah... that should give you a pretty decent idea of how good those 60's Custm Shop P'ups sound.

Let me know if you have any questions... and enjoy!!!

Also... here are three kind of crappy pics of the neck pocket.

Can anyone tell from these pics what kind of wood the body is?

Well, this bass was finally delivered across the pond today, so I'm pretty sure we can consider it SOLD.

Hope you love it as much as I did Andy!

:D
