1968 Fender Jazz Bass Sunburst Faux Burst Vintage Bass w/ Case

From the listing

Seller's description

Up for sale, a 1968 Fender Jazz Bass, complete with the original hardshell case. This clearly well-loved Jazz Bass has Fender’s infamous “faux burst,” with an Olympic White base and sealer coat obscuring the actual wood grain, and simulated grain added below the Sunburst gloss. The finish wear of this faux burst is common for this particular finish application, and the remaining Sunburst is deeply ambered and checked.This Jazz Bass is a transitional example featuring original winds on the gray bobbin pickups, cloth-covered pickup leads, clover buttons tuners, and a bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays.With an alder body, maple neck and bound rosewood fretboard, the bass has a very smooth, balanced and deep-sounding natural acoustic tone channeled faithfully through the pickup pair. The gray bobbin pickups deliver a round, articulate sound: the bass has plenty of upper midrange presence and burp, with a more woody, round sound with the neck pickup favored, and thicker thump with the Tone control rolled back. This Jazz Bass weighs 8lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.Neck Specs:Wood: MapleShape: Medium U, measuring .845” 1st fret, 1.005” 12th fretFretboard: Rosewood, bound, 7 ¼” radius, block inlayFrets: Slender, leveled/crowned, no wearLength: 34”Nut: 1 1/2” (replacement)Tuners: Clover buttons, “Fender”-stamped baseplatesSerialization: Six-digit stamp (“F” neck plate) dates to ‘68Factory Markings: Faint (illegible) date stamp on neck heelBody Specs:Wood: AlderPickups: Gray bobbin single coil x2 Controls: Volume x2, ToneHarness: Untouched solder, Stackpole pots date to the 31st week of ‘66, tropical fish tone capacitorHardware: Leo Quan Badass Bass II bridge (replacement), control platePlastics: Aged pointer knobs and pickup coversThe gloss Sunburst finish has the kind of stunning playwear that the finest relics can only dream of displaying; the finish is 1
