Fender Jazz Bass 1966 turquoise (modified) One of a Kind !
Description
1966 Fender Jazz bass - as you can see it has been modified. Everything on the bass is vintage 1966. All 3 pots date to the 12th week of 1966. The neck date is June 1966. It plays and sounds very good. It's fairly light weighing just 7.5 lbs. The frets and nut are original, showing no fret wear at all. It is comfortable to hold and play. If you show up to an audition with this bass, they will remember you. If you have any questions please call at ; 8Firsthand experiences
