Fender 1962 RI Jazz Bass


 

 

American made Reissue 1962 Fender Jazz bass, given to me by Erika as a surprise Valentine's day gift, 2003. Sort of my Holy Grail and very reminiscent of the very first electric instrument I ever owned, way back in the sixties.....this bass has the perfect fingerboard radius. Fender should make 'em all like this. Also has period-authentic reverse tuners, which I sometimes forget about and tuning on the fly becomes an adventure. Tone-wise, it has that giant, fat, warm, round sound that all good Jazz basses have - and dial in a bit of the bridge pickup, you got yourself a tuba. Stack knob controls are also cool.
