Description

Edit description

Step back in time with the 1965 Fender Jazz Bass, a true gem for both collectors and musicians seeking that vintage vibe. This iconic instrument blends the rich heritage of Fender craftsmanship with a timeless design that continues to inspire bassists around the world. Featuring a smooth Brazilian rosewood fretboard with a stunning grain pattern, this bass doesn’t just play beautifully; it invites you to explore its history with every note. Whether you're laying down grooves in the studio or performing live, its straight neck and well-preserved frets ensure a comfortable and precise playing experience.

While the ash tray and pickup cover have been replaced, these minor updates do little to detract from its authentic charm. The original case is still in great condition, preserving the instrument’s legacy, although a replacement handle has been added for modern convenience. This vintage Fender Jazz Bass is not just an instrument; it's a piece of musical history, ready to continue its journey with you.
