USED Fender Custom Shop / 1961 Jazz Bass Heavy Relic Aged Lake Placid Blue 2019 [03]

We’ve just received a used Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass!

Born as Fender’s second bass model following the Precision Bass, the Jazz Bass has been a favorite among bassists worldwide to this day.
This Custom Shop model faithfully reproduces the specifications of the very earliest Jazz Bass models from the early 1960s.

The heavy relic finish applied to the “Aged Lake Placid Blue”—which has a faded, weathered appearance—gives it the character of a bass that’s been played for 60 years.

It features a two-piece alder body, a rosewood fingerboard, and a quarter-sawn maple neck. The neck shape is the classic 60s J-Bass “U” shape, offering a solid, substantial grip that’s characteristic of vintage-style instruments. The neck is designed to fit comfortably in your hand, ensuring a pleasant playing experience even during long sessions.
Additionally, the fingerboard radius is set to 9.5 inches—slightly flatter than vintage specifications—resulting in excellent playability.

It is equipped with hand-wound VINT J-BASS pickups.
It features a stacked knob configuration with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, a feature that allows it to respond naturally to the player’s nuances.

The truss rod functions properly. As for the exterior, the relic finish makes it difficult to distinguish between natural wear and actual damage, but there are no visible issues that would interfere with playability, and the instrument is still in excellent playing condition.
Although the spec sheet lists “INDIVIDUAL STRING MUTE,” there are no visible traces indicating that a mute was ever installed.
