I am very reluctantly having to sell my 'Custom' Jazz. The bass was assembled and refinished by luthier Dave Wilson. The work Dave has done is to a very standard. The original owner of the bass had it built to replicate one of Adam Clayton's stage basses. The build was done with cost being no object and the bass certainly reflects that. The precision neck was used as the original owner wished a wider neck than the normal Jazz offering. The spec is as follows:-

Fender Japanese '62' reissue Jazz Body refinished in beautiful aged gold by Dave Wilson. Pictures don't do this finish justice.

The neck was brand new at the time of the build (2014 I think) and is a Japanese Fender maple block and black bound neck with precision width. The 70s Jazz logo was applied by Dave Wilson at the time of the build. There is also a Fender Custom shop logo applied to the back of the headstock. This is not a Fender Custom Shop instrument although the quality of the work is certainly worthy of that title. The bass is in unmarked condition.

Pickups are Nordstrand NJ4SE/NJ4SV which are a superb pairing. Dual coils and absolutely silent.

Tuners are Fender

Bridge is Fender USA vintage.

Internals are all CTS / Switchcraft

The bass is set up very nicely and plays like a dream.

The weight of the bass is 8lbs

A Warwick 'snakeskin' Rockcase with Fender logo will be included in the sale.

Price is £700 including p&p to the UK. I am not looking for trades.

What a great bass. It took me about 15 years of trial and error with basses to realise the benefits of a Jazz Bass with a Precision neck, in short. My current Jazz - which weighs in at about 13lbs - has an Indian Rosewood body and a fat and wide Precision cocobolo/ebony neck, and it sounds huge irrespective of which PUPs are in there.

Some people say that neck dimensions make no difference to tone :rolleyes:
