From the listing

Seller's description

Here is a unique and interesting vintage Fender Jazz Bass. This instrument combines a rare 1964 “L Series” Jazz bass neck with Brazilian rosewood fretboard with a 1971 Fender Jazz bass body. The end result is a killer player grade vintage bass with a whole lot of character and vintage legitimacy. This bass presents as in very good condition. The durable poly finish on the body has held up well over the years, despite clear evidence of being played a lot. A 2mm groove has been worn into the front of the bass where the players thumb has rested for many, many hours. All the original controls and electrical components are present on the body. The three pots all show a date of 1971. All wiring is clean and unmarred. This indicates that these controls have never been removed from the instrument. This, combined with the poly finish, absence of paint nail holes, and the style of burst finish, point to the body as being from 1971. The coolest part of this bass is its neck. A beautiful slim and straight example of pre CBS craftsmanship. The slim “A stamped” Jazz bass neck has a nut width of 38mm and a neck depth of 20.2mm at the first fret give this instrument and effortless and easy playing feel. The original frets have plenty of life with minimal signs of pitting. Original clay dots are present. This bass has some light pink dot marker paint on the side of the fretboard over the original side dots. This neck has received an overspray a long time ago. There are several chips on the outer layer showing a lighter nitrocellulose lacquer underneath. This bass has a reproduction plastic tug bar with new screws. While the pickguard is vintage, it is likely not original to this sunburst body. The bridge of this bass is also not original to this body, as the threaded saddles were phased out in 1966/67. It is possible these parts belonged to the original 1964 body. White guards where typically available on custom colours. There is evidence of different colours inside of the chrome n
