Fender Jazz Bass Model Solid Body Electric Bass Guitar (1965), made in Fullerton, California, sunburst lacquer finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, black tolex original hard shell case.
A very early-CBS era jazz bass, definitely played but all original and and well-preserved. Pearl dot rosewood fingerboard (no binding), transition gold logo, vibrant sunburst finish, and great brightly-colored tortoise plastic pickguard. Includes all covers, fingerrest, etc. Neck dated FEB 65.
Very lightweight and extremely resonant, a great player with the brighter tone typical of '65s and '66s.
Overall length is 46 in. (116.8 cm.), 13 1/2 in. (34.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 1/2 in. (3.8 cm.) deep. Scale length is 34 in. (864 mm.).
All original condition�except possibly the coverplate screws. Average edgewear and and some pick scratching, but overall the finish is very attractive with no large areas of damage. A small chip of rosewood is missing from the area above the nut under the G string. The bass has been well-played but not abused and is a great example from this era.
Complete with the original 'no logo' red/orange-lined case; structurally fine with some damage to the leather ends, and a taped handle. Excellent Condition.
