Minty stack knob custom shop jazz bass! Gently used in my home studio, never gigged out. This is an amazing instrument but I'm more of a PBass guy.

Are you craving an authentic vintage J Bass experience? Step into the Fender Custom Shop time machine and immerse yourself in the sublime musicality of the 1962 Jazz Bass. This electric bass bears all the hallmarks of a ’60s-era model, starting with a contoured alder body, finished with a relic’d nitro coating for a well-seasoned look that’s sure to impress. The 1962 J Bass features a quarter-sawn maple neck with a chunky, ’60s-inspired U-shaped profile and a flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard that plays like a dream. Classic tones abound, thanks to a hand-wound set of Custom Shop Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, voiced for that iconic midrange growl and overwound for extra output. Additionally, the 1962 J Bass boasts vintage-style hardware, including a 4-saddle bridge, tuning machines, ashtray covers, knurled concentric knobs, and a 4-ply pickguard. The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Jazz Bass is a meticulous reissue, crafted using the same techniques and tooling as its 1960s counterpart — it’s truly the next best thing to owning a genuine vintage specimen.

Built for comfort and performance

One of the key features that made the original Jazz Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its unique offset-waist-contour silhouette. Whether you’re playing standing or seated, the classic Jazz Bass body shape ensures marathon gigs and sessions are much more comfortable. Ask any player who has spent time with the sleek yet substantial U-shaped neck on a ’60s-era Jazz Bass, and you’ll hear descriptors ranging from “fast” and “effortless” to “one-of-a-kind.” With its narrow 1.5-inch bone nut and flat-laminated rosewood fingerboard featuring a modern 9.5-inch radius and 20 medium-jumbo frets, the 1962 Jazz Bass neck sits beautifully in your hand. It offers a touch-and-response dynamic that unlocks limitless potential for stylistic exploration.

Voracious ’60s single-coils

When you want to groove with authentic ’60s sound, pick up the Fender Custom Shop 1962 Jazz Bass. This low-end tone machine is crafted with hand-wound, vintage-inspired J Bass pickups, delivering all the original-era tone and power you could ask for. Assembled from Formvar magnet wire and Alnico V magnets, these pickups produce tones reminiscent of the formidable J Bass sound from the ’60s. Thanks to their overwound coils, these pickups offer a slightly hotter output, providing plenty of unmistakable punch and glorious midrange growl. Complementing these ’60s-style pickups are two stacked concentric knobs, allowing the tone and volume controls to be placed on a single knob.
