Up for sale, a 2013 Fender American Vintage ‘64 Jazz Bass in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original G&G blonde tolex hardshell case. An example of the uncommon second generation of the AVRI Jazz Bass, released in 2012 and retooled to be even more vintage accurate than its predecessors, this American Vintage Jazz Bass was a short-lived offering. Features include long stem reverse-action tuners, threaded saddles, redesigned gray bobbin pickups, clay dot inlay on the rosewood fingerboard, and a “flash coat” Lake Placid Blue nitro lacquer finish.
With an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, this bass looks and sounds the part of the genuine vintage article. The tone is equal parts low end warmth and midrange cut, with the smooth growl and upper midrange burp of the bridge pickup blending well with the fullness and thump of the neck position single coil. Combined, the two pickups produce an array of sounds appropriate for virtually any live or recording situation, from punchy and immediate to warm and rumbling. This American Vintage ‘64 Jazz Bass weighs 9,25 lbs/4,2kg, professionally setup here at Stage Guitar Service with comfortable action, and accurate intonation.
