Rare and beautiful 2002 Zone bass. From Fender July 2001 "Engineers in Fenders Research and Development have spent the last two years designing an entirely new electronic platform to match and maximize the tonal characteristics of the exotic woods, including new hum-cancelling pickups designed to increase the low frequency response and extend the upper frquency range. Neck and bridge pickups are designed with ferrous steel pole pieces contained within the core of each bobbin. They are driven with low-profile, wide area ceramic magnets located at the base of each pickup, with the ceramic magnets offering optimal strength and excellent string transfer characteristics that result in incredible clarity and articulation. The unique sonic nature of the exotic woods and their body mass require electronics that can bring the most out of these instruments. The Bass frequencies are centered at 40 Hz 12db with a 4db per octave slope,while the Treble is centered at 8Hz 10db with a 2db per octave slope, with the Treble cut working as a more passive control for warm, organic tones. The maple neck is C-shaped 34"scale, 9.5"radius, rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets. Made at Fender's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Corona, California. MSRP $1949.99." ($3580 in 2026 dollars). In near mint condition except for a small ding on lower horn edge near the tip and a tiny finish flake on neck.(see photos). Stop allows for either thru-body or stop string mounting. Wt. 9.2 lbs. Original G&G case and case candy. Heavy padded strap with Schaller locking straplocks. The most gorgeous bass ever! *Note*: Any requests for off-Reverb contact will be reported to Reverb.
