    SOLD Fender American Elite Jazz V - Ocean Turquoise

    NOW ASKING $1,600.00 In great shape overall with minor signs of use. Currently has a white pickguard (custom made - original is included) and there’s a minor blemish on the headstock - not actual damage, but worth noting (see last pic). Comes with case and all documentation. Would consider an...

    Fender leak - American Vintage Series II is coming?

    100% - I’m the same way with precision basses. I can show you 6 different parchment 11-hole vintage-style jazz bass pickguards that don’t fit my 60th anniversary - some have different hole locations, some are too short (and leave a gap with the control plate), some are too long (and the control...

    Fender leak - American Vintage Series II is coming?

    Not as easy as one may think, depending on the pickguard - I have a 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass, which is basically same specs as these, and I had to custom order a pickguard - basically none of the AVRI or AV etc. pickguards fit. Not the end of the world, but still kind of annoying.

    Fender leak - American Vintage Series II is coming?

    Omg lose the tortoise shell. Why is it every Fender guitar has a variety of pickguard options yet the basses are basically all tortoise shell. Tell me again about how Gibson does the same old thing on repeat.

    Fender leak - American Vintage Series II is coming?

    I just really hope they release a jazz bass model without the tortoise shell pickguard. After searching everywhere, I had to order custom WD pickguards for my 60th anniversary to get something that would fit. Just give me a mint green pickguard with the seafoam JB please.

    American Classic (Original Replacement) - any info?

    A guy over at Strat Talk spilled the beans about the new American Classic series that’s apparently replacing the American Original series this summer. Looks like back to AVRI-style vintage radii, frets etc. and some cool colours. However, the discussion is understandably limited to strats and...

    USA Original 70s pickguard fit a USA Original 60s JB?

    Hey all, I recently was able to get a 60th anniversary American Original for a great price. I love everything about it except the tort pickguard. Its damn near impossible to find a white pickguard (fender or OEM) to fit this bass - I even bought an AVRI pickguard from the early 2000s and it...

    Adding Passive Pickups to an Am Elite Jazz

    Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this answer is already out there, but I have searched with no luck. I've got an American Elite JB which I like, but I've got some Fralin split noiseless pickups that I much prefer (currently sitting in an AM Pro JB). I would really like to throw these Fralins into...
