Making its debut in mid 1960, the Fender Jazz Bass marked the continued expansion of their "Off-Set" line of instruments while offering a more deluxe option for bassists to choose, if desired. The first production models featured stacked concentric volume and tone controls for the two pickups, but by mid/late 1961 this circuitry was abandoned in favour of the simpler master-tone circuit that remains in use today.
An incredible pre-CBS Fender instrument, this 1964 Jazz Bass is completely original apart from a missing pickup cover. Boasting a particularly attractive three-tone sunburst finish that has aged gracefully over the last six decades, this bass is a seriously good-looking vintage Fender. The only flaw to be found is an extra strap button hole on the body at the neck joint.
Sporting a pair of original and unmodified pickups, measuring 7.7k in the neck position and 7.8k in the bridge, this 1964 Fender Jazz Bass offers harmonically rich tones with excellent clarity and punch. The original frets are in very good condition and play cleanly across the fingerboard. While most Fender Basses from this era are plagued by a significant rise in the fingerboard past the neck joint which causes fretting out, this bass has only a mild rise that is not causing any playability issues.
With its perfectly worn maple neck that features a comfortable rounded carve, this '64 Jazz Bass delivers an amazing playing experience that can only be found in an authentic pre-CBS Fender instrument.
Neck date of April 1964. Pots dated to the 10th week of 1964. Scale length of 34". First fret depth of 0.792", twelfth fret depth of 0.982", and a 1-1/2" nut width. Weight of 8lbs 15oz.
With original hardshell case
