FenderStandard Series Jazz Bass Body, Alder, Black

When I saw this Fender Jazz body marked way down, I jumped on it, fully aware of the old adage, "You get what you pay for." I knew there had to be something wrong with it, and it didn't take me long to discover exactly what. I tried 3 different necks in it, and I found all three to be listing heavily to port. In other words, all three necks were riding lower on the bass side than the treble side in relation to the body. The neck pocket had been routed at an angle. Needless to say, I was not pleased, but I had all of the parts gathered [Gotoh bridge, Bartolini pups, loaded 920D control plate, mint green pearloid pickguard, Fender neck w/tuners, and a new set of Rotosound 77 flatwounds] so I was determined to build this bass. After several failures, I discovered that a 1" wide strip of file folder cardstock along the low side of the neck pocket raised the neck to a perfectly level position. I now have a sweet custom project bass with everything bought on sale. I'm giving the body four stars despite the problem because otherwise it is a great Jazz body; the finish is gorgeous and the rest of the routes and holes are perfect.

I get vary upset when I see the jazz bass body I bought hols were unright nuthing lined up .Something was not right .I thought I had removed this jazz bass body off my list .I did not know what I could of said I am a deadacted no other guitar made other then Fender I have from 1961 fender jazz master that is my keepsake and nine fender jazz basses that are my pried and joy 1974 to 2015 .I am a bass player there is no better bass guitar built then a jazz bass.We should try again I love building them to just unsure if we could do business again with out a check of every thing .It has tobe right or it well not feel or play the way it was intended too .Thanks Michael Raper .

En verdad que es una verdadera emoción cuando abres un cuerpo de estos la verdad quede muy satisfecho esta excelente impecable honestamente no había tenido el placer de tener un cuerpo de bajo de esa calidad en mis manos muchas gracias.

Great looking body!

Love this color and it was easy to re-install all my old hardware while I decide what to do with the previous body which was badly damaged and the finish was cracked and chipped.

Clean, well-finished body. Light to medium weight makes it very comfortable to play. Really great value for the price.

Perfect fit!

Excellent. Finish is top notch. Almost ready to sing.

Beautiful piece wow Thank you
