Here is what Fender says about the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass:
For players who want the style and sound of Fender’s golden era, Fender created the Vintera '60s Jazz Bass.
Equipped with the coveted features that defined the decade—including period-accurate neck profile and playing feel, along with recreated '60s pickups—this bass has all of the growl that made the J Bass famous.
For authentic, original-era tone Fender re-voiced the pair of single-coil Jazz Bass pickups to sound more like the originals. Gritty and growling, they have the tone that made the J Bass popular.
The Mid '60s C-shaped neck has a 7.25"-radius fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets for classic playing feel. A vintage-style, 4-saddle bridge with threaded saddles and reverse, open-gear tuning machines provide original-era aesthetics, rock-solid performance and tuning stability.
Other features include 34" scale length, chrome hardware and 4-bolt neck plate.
Includes a deluxe gig bag.
This bass weighs 9.5 pounds.
Why was this bass sent to the refurbisher?
The only issues are two rub marks on the bottom edge of the bass from shifting during shipping, I have included close-up pictures of both. The protective covers are still on the neck pickup and the pickguard.

FAQ, frequently asked questions
Why are instruments sent to a refurbisher? The instrument could be a discontinued model, have a finish imperfection, or need a minor repair.
Who refurbishes your instruments? All of my instruments come from the largest and best refurbisher in the country, where any issue found is corrected by a factory trained and authorized luthier.
Does a refurbished instrument have the manufacturer warranty? No, any instrument sent to a refurbisher, regardless of the reason it was sent there, no longer carries the manufacturer warranty.
Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it? All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box. However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and getting bumped around during shipping.
What identifies an instrument as being refurbished? Most refurbished instruments have a small used stamp on the back of the head stock . This is to prevent an unethical dealer from concealing the fact that the instrument was sent to a refurbisher.
