1968 Fender Jazz in excellent condition, Sunburst finish with a Tortoiseshell guard, maple neck and a Rosewood fingerboard with pearl blocks & binding. Serial number 222716. Aside from one solder joint that we had to re-solder due to a loose wire on the neck pickup, it's all original and complete including the original case. Both pickups date to October 68 and all 3 pots date to the 42nd week of 66. (pots dating to 66 are commonly found in Fender basses from 66-69) The neck is stamped, Oct 68 A.
This bass is a great player with a superb tone. The red in the Sunburst has faded slightly, more so on the front than the back remains There are a few very minor Scuffs and dings to the finish, but nothing major for a 52-year-old bass. The neck and headstock are in excellent condition with only a few very minor dings on the edge of the headstock. The frets are clean and in great shape having been polished up in our workshop. All electronics and hardware are in good working order.
The bass has been set up in our workshop with a med/low action with a set of Rotosound nickel round wound strings. It has a great sound with a warm tone and plenty of growl. This is a great bass to play and weighs 9lbs 8oz / 4.31 kg. The truss rod works as it should without issue. The nut width is 37.8 mm. Depth at 1st fret 22mm.
