A Mojo-Soaked Classic

Straight from the Fender Custom Shop, this 2024 '61 Jazz Bass is a stone-cold stunner that feels like it's seen a thousand smoky stages. This isn't just a bass; it's a time machine. From the moment you pick it up, the Heavy Relic Super Faded Aged Daphne Blue finish tells a story. The checking, dings, and worn-through spots aren't just for show, they contribute to a broken-in feel that you can't get from a factory-fresh instrument. It's got the resonance and vibe of a true vintage piece, but with the flawless playability of a modern Custom Shop build.

Timeless Tone and Feel

Under the hood, this J-Bass is pure 1961. The Hand-Wound Vintage Jazz Bass pickups deliver the goods, serving up that iconic midrange growl and punchy articulation that defined the sound of funk, soul, and rock. The bridge pickup has that signature bark, while the neck pickup offers round, warm tones that sit perfectly in a mix. The stacked concentric knobs give you independent volume and tone control for each pickup, unlocking a massive palette of sonic textures to explore. The quartersawn maple neck with its comfortable '60 Jazz Bass "U" profile and AAA rosewood fingerboard feels instantly familiar, like an old friend.

Built for the Player

Every detail here is crafted for performance. The alder body is lightweight and resonant, the vintage-style hardware is period-correct and road-ready, and the bone nut ensures sustain for days. This bass isn't just about looking the part. It's a serious workhorse, ready for the studio, the stage, or wherever the music takes you. It's in mint condition and comes with its original hardshell case, ready for its next chapter.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
