This vintage, 1963 Jazz Bass has all the early '60s Fender vibes you could ask for. Here with an Alder body, tortoiseshell pickguard and three-color Sunburst finish, this is the classic Jazz Bass look and feel. Pre-CBS era appointments and features include nitrocellulose 3-tone burst finish, rosewood board with clay dots, original frets that are low, however the bass plays great thanks to a Mass Street setup.

The neck dates to April 1963, with the pots also dating to '63 as well. We are unable to confirm the originality of the pickups, as the foam under the pickups have fused to the bottom of pickups over time. It was determined by our repair shop to leave them as is in order to avoid risking damage to the pickups. The solder joints on the original pots have been disturbed at some point. On consignment from the second owner, who has owned the bass since 1965. Here in very good condition, this '63 J-Bass includes the original hardshell case (see photos)
