Sick jazz.

Sick jazz.

Thanks, man. The neck is really sweet on this bass.
One of the best I've ever played with the darkest rosewood.
Vince did a nice job on this one.

Wow, guess I'm the only one who likes Fender CS basses.

 

[Figjam]

I think a lot of us like them. I think $$$ may be an issue

There are several CS's on ebay for $2200 and lower. I picked up my "59 RI for $1700 and I've seen NOS's for as low as $1500. What folks are now dropping on the Fender P5. There are many folks here into Alleva Coppolo's, Sadowsky's & Laklands that are $3000+. Maybe less than that for Lak's. I contacted Jimmy Feb 13th and was quoted $3895.00 for the KBP5 Classic. I'm not sure $$$ are the issue. Maybe the site here is to promote other brands? That's cool. I own a Sadowsky, Lakland & Mike Lull, and I enjoy them all. They're all beautiful and play nice. I just think it's funny there's not one other person here on this site that has a Fender CS bass to show. Oh well. Guess I showed up at the Formal in Costume.

 

[Figjam]

If thats a costume my 05 CIJ and 93 MIM look foolish! Although they are both choice pieces.

There are lots around here. Theo Cantor might pop up with his Pino.

All right! Now we're talking. Sweet! Love the Shell Pink.

Yep, love Theo's Pino. Saw that earlier today I believe. I thought I would broaden the spectrum to all Fender CS's.

That's a copper grounding strip.

CS '64 Relic Jazz

Fantastic Bass!

 

[tomsewell]

I actually had an '86 MIJ Squier Jazz that had the copper grounding strip. Really wish I had that sucker back.

Always wanted to approach the Fender CS to get a quote for a custom, but, other than going to some far-flung branches of Guitar Center (and probably having to deal with typical clueless GC staff), I haven't found any other way to get in touch with them. Anyone got any details?

 

[mr.mow]
