1963 Fender Jazz Bass

Tuesday, 15 January, 2013 10:36

For sale is this vintage 1963 Fender Jazz Bass guitar. This particular Custom Color example, serial number 90117, is in 100% all original condition. With an extremely rare configuration of both original Blonde nitrocellulose finish and an Ash body, this bass doesn’t just look incredible, but it plays beautifully and sounds exceptional. In addition to its immensely rare finish and body combination, this bass was procured from a dealer who purchased it from the original owner’s family, and the bass also includes; the original hang tag with corresponding serial number, the original Tolex case tag, a copy of the original owner’s album by his band “The Fabulous Elegants,” and the original brown case with orange interior. Suggesting that a blonde custom color Jazz Bass with an Ash body, such as this, is rare almost marginalizes exactly how difficult it would be to find another.
