A Mike Eldred era Fender Custom Shop 2012. I had a few, and they are great models!

Condition: This is a relic bass, so it has checking on the body by design. I found two paint imperfections near the neck. Please see the images to verify (feel free to ask questions or I can send more pictures). Very minor wear, as this set has been in my closet for many years. I have the original pickup covers off the bass, but they are included.

Weight: On my scale, it is 9.172 lbs

Color: Arctic White

Includes original case and case candy shown in the images.

Shipping: This is a nice bass, and I don't want to ship poorly. It will be well-packed, expedited, insured, and delivered only with a signature.

Ask any questions, and I can provide more photos or answer them.

Fender Custom Shop 1961 Closet Classic Jazz Bass at a Glance:

Lightweight, "offset waist" alder body

Quartersawn neck for stability

Dual, single-coil Jazz Bass pickups in a shielded body cavity

Lightweight, "offset waist" alder body

Bass guitars are big, and that can mean heavy, too. So the Fender Custom Shop 1961 Closet Classic Jazz Bass comes with the distinctive "offset waist" body design, but made from alder, which is resonant but relatively light, which you'll appreciate after two or three hours up on stage.

Quartersawn neck for stability

The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, and the Fender Custom Shop 1961 Closet Classic Jazz Bass features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks, and less likely to warp, twist, or shrink. You'll love the playability and feel of the 1961 Closet Classic Jazz Bass's rosewood fretboard with a vintage 7.5" radius and a vintage "U" neck shape.

Dual, single-coil Jazz Bass pickups in a shielded body cavity

Fender's early electric basses had just one pickup. So naturally, if one was good, two were even better. The Fender Custom Shop 1961 Closet Classic Jazz Bass gives you two vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups in a shielded body cavity for quieter operation, both on stage and in the studio. You'll get all the low-end thump and growl you expect from a 1961 Jazz Bass. Vintage-style stacked concentric control knobs let you adjust volume and tone for each pickup.

Fender Custom Shop 1961 Closet Classic Jazz Bass Features:
