Hey all, here's your chance to get a killer Jazz Bass. I love her, but I need a 5, and I can't afford both.

It's a 2004 American Vintage Fender '62 Jazz Bass.

See the shielding tutorial thread (http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=159191) for details on the wiring.

Since then, I have replaced the pickups with Sadowsky hum-cancellings and done the series-parallel wiring using a Fender S-1 pot, and replaced the black knobs shown above with chrome "Precision" knobs.

Here are some photos of the bass with the original controls (new ones added below):

Bass is in great condition - two minor flaws:

1) One very minor ding on the body where a guy threw the plug end of a cord to me on stage and it struck the body.

You can see it here above the neck pickup (you can also see the Sadowsky pickups):

2) Previous owner tightened the neck screws too much and the neckplate cut into the finish on the back. Doesn't affect anything except it can never be called mint:

Here is a closeup of the new controls, featuring Blend, Volume (with series/parallel pushbutton [Fender S-1 switch]), and Tone:

Out is Parallel :

In is Series :

When in Series, the Blend is bypassed but the master volume and tone are active.

Currently strung with TI Jazz Flats. Action is medium-low and no fretting out anywhere on the neck, very comfortable.

Original hard shell case and all case candy (pickup and bridge covers, mutes, etc) included. With the bass, the Sadowsky pickups, and the custom "TB famous" wiring, asking $1100 + shipping.

Trades considered for Lakland Skyline JO5 or 55-02 in 3 color sunburst.

Bumped because I added new pics.

Nice bass! Good luck with the sale!

Also nice to see another Memphian here on TB.

Thanks man!

Want to save on shipping? ;)

Would love to have it but I already have a oly. white US 61 RI almost identical to it except I still have the stacked pots and it has Fralins in it....and I just fixed my sunburst spot with my new JO4

are you including the original fender 62-reissue pickups in the sale?

No, I sold those when I got the Sadowskys. The Sadowskys sound much better than the stock pickups did. If it's the noise-cancelling that concerns you, well, it shouldn't, but the Fralins or Nordstroms would be the better pure single coils than the stock Fenders.

I mean, the stock pickups were good, but nothing that special.

Tennessee Bump. I also play a 62 ri. Awesome axe, especially with the sad's and S1 switch. you guys wont be disapointed with this buy.

Thanks Yman!

This isnt gone yet?! jeesh, what a beautiful bass. I have a feeling that this is the one that would end my 4 string tone quest, but alas a bit out of reach this week.

3 weeks from now, i got u.


Question: Where are the Factory pickups?

Thanks.

I'll keep it here until it sells, so you may be able to get it.

I sold the factory pickups to a TB member when I got the Sadowskys.

I'm kind of surprised by the questions about the stock pickups - sorry, the buyer will have to "settle" for the Sadwoskys. :p
