For sale 1962 Fender Jazz Bass Sonic Blue (refin)

1962 Fender Jazz Bass Sonic Blue (refin)

This August 1962 neck date Jazz Bass has seen some action. Marks of countless playing hours usually indicate a great playing and sounding instrument and it is definitely true for this one. Albeit this being a keeper, I splurged and bought another 1962 veneer Jazz Bass, so it has to go into new hands.

• Alder body, Sonic Blue refin and aging​
• Astonishing Brazilian Rosewood veneer fingerboard
• Neck profile is leaner than any other 1962J I've played. It is closer to the slimness of a 1960 Jazz Bass neck.
• Period correct refret and bone nut. Both meticulously executed by renowned luthier Werner Sahli.
• Hairline crack at the back of the headstock. Doesn't affect playability. The bass stays in tune for whole sets during gigs.
• Incredible feel all over the neck with low action.​
• Original Neck Pickup
• Bridge pickup is a period-correct black bottom Fender pre CBS pickup
• After Market Gotoh GBR640 4L N Bass Tuners are installed. They are much lighter and more precise than the original Fender tuners. The originals are included in the sale (see pics).
• Custom made pickguard by Mark Townsend of Spitfire Pickguards
• Weight is 8.4 lbs / 3.8 kg.
• Truss rod is in good working condition and neck is non-twisted and straight.
• Non-original hard shell SKB case.

What we have here is the mojo of the original holy grail 1962 Fender Jazz Bass. With the necessary maintenance works already being done, you get a 100% studio and stage ready instrument.

Will be posted on reverb within two weeks if not sold here.
