Traditional construction with first-class woods
For the construction of the 1962 J-Bass NOS the FenderCustom shop relies on the traditional specifications from the beginning of the sixties and implements them with first-class tonewoods. For the body in the popular offset style, alder wood selected for its weight and sound characteristics is used, while the bolt-on neck is solidly made of maple with standing annual rings. The narrow "'60s Jazz Bass U" neck profile with 38 mm nut width also promises agile playing characteristics on the 20-fret rosewood fingerboard.
With two hand-wound Vintage Jazz Bass single coils and traditional passive circuitry, this four-stringer delivers versatile bass tones.
Handwound Jazz Bass pickups and passive circuitry
With hand-wound Custom Shop Vintage Jazz Bass Rhythm and Lead single coils in the middle and bridge positions respectively, the 1962 Jazz Bass delivers the usual flexible sound spectrum, ranging from a sonorous sound with abysmal low end to a wiry presence tone with high assertiveness, making the bass guitar an all-rounder for almost any genre imaginable. To be able to adjust the tone precisely, the E-Bass provides individual volume controls for each pickup as well as a general treble control.
On the typical Fender headstock of the 1962 J-Bass NOS, open vintage-style tuners ensure accurate tuning.
Vintage Style Hardware
Of course the FenderCustom Shop Luthiers complete the 1962 Jazz Bass NOS RW Sea Foam Green with the historically correct hardware. The classic 4-saddle hardtail serves as the bridge, with four string riders guaranteeing optimal adjustment of intonation and string action. Behind the bone nut, vintage-style Open-Gear tuners guarantee the correct and robust tuning of the bass. In addition, covers for the bridge and pickups provide the convincing vintage look.
