Oh boy do we have a sweet piece to share with you today - a 1965 Fender Jazz Bass Refinished in Olympic White!  If you’re in the market for a mid-60’s player grade J that has its whole life ahead of it (read on for more details), you’ve come to the right place. 

This instrument (s/n: 128519, 9.6lbs) is in very good condition considering its age.  Upon examination it looks to have been refinished back during the guitar’s infancy and then very well taken care of since.  The body shows some signs of wear but is still looking mighty fine and the chrome covers still shine.  The original bridge saddles have been replaced and the originals will be included with the sale of the instrument.  

The pickups look to be the factory installed ‘65s and sound excellent.  The pots don’t look to be completely original but everything is working great and running noise free.  

The most important talking point on this one is just how well this instrument plays.  This bass just received all new frets (Jescar #50085, .085” x .050”), a new bone nut, and a Plek dress and set-up by our luthiers and is ready to rock for the foreseeable future.  This is one outstanding instrument to tango with and is a pleasure to play up and down the fretboard.  

The back of the neck is relatively clean (especially for an instrument with its years) with only two small nicks of note.  The headstock is also in very good to excellent condition with minimal wear showing besides a small screw hole on the back of the headstock.

The sale of this instrument includes a newer Fender hardshell case that should provide plenty of protection for transit.  

This bass is gig and studio ready and is going to be a faithful companion for its next owner.  This one is going to be ready to rock as soon as it lands on someone's doorstep so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions.  We are huge fans of this bass and happy to help find its next owner.
