Sterling, a gorgeous bass indeed!

It was a lot more but I'm kind embarased already for showing off like this..... till next time......
 
I'm no fan of this "relic" or "vintage" thing. Not if it's real and absolutely not if it's artificial. And I'm no fan of Jazz basses.

But hell, this is one of the most beautifiul basses I've ever seen!

Thanks for your words 4-Strings...this is a real 1976 Fender Jazz bass that was originally in vintage white but his old owner made a great job removing the old scratch paint and make a french oil finish over the bass... I replace 2 knobs with Q-parts Abalone knobs, add a Badass that make his action feels like butter..and I found one of the original PU´s wrong...I replace the olds with a new set of Fender Custom shop 60´s PU´s and this bass sounds monster!!!:bassist:

Fender MIM Precision Special Deluxe (upgraded electronics, new pickguard)
Dean Jeff Berlin signature (on loan from a friend)
SX 5er (just got this one today)

The Fender will be on its way out before too long. I'm planning to mod the SX pretty extensively.
 
Time for an updated group shot...

That's no 50th anniversary Jazz, this is:

(Number 073 of 500 made. I don't have it anymore, traded it for my '83 Alembic)
Every Fender instrument (also Squier I think) got the little gold anniversary sticker on the back of the headstock in '96.

Here's the complete anniversary collection + the neckplate of the above bass:
