Fender Custom shop Jazz bass 1989 - Daphne blue

The original ‘88/89 has been modded into a stunning playing / looking bass.

Early Custom shop Jazz bass, with several modifications that justify lower pricing.

Originally Daphne blue, refinished in a deep pink colour, and then again back to the original colour, all professionally done.

The neck binding was stripped and redone as perloid, with a nice touch at the top of the fingerboard saying “L’arbre chantant” (the singing tree in French).

the “V” serial number is typical of early Custom Shop (they only started in 88 so this must be a very early one). The stamps are all original, but the year is not very legible at all.

Gold tuners,knobs, control plate and screws are original to the bass, new gold bridge installed

Scratchplate imported from the states which is 62-66 period correct.

Fender customshop vintage 60's pickups

The gold bridge cover is not the original one.

A battery compartment was added at the back and a toggle switch to the control plate as an active circuit was installed, but now the original circuit reinstated and it’s all passive.

Non-original Fender moulded case included, strap locks and leather strap.

Weight is 4.4 Kgs.
