Description

Here's a 1966 Fender Jazz Bass in Candy Apple Red finish with matching headstock. Amazing, 1 owner bass! Clean, 100% original example. No breaks, cracks, repairs. The original owner, who's photo'd with the bass in the last picture of the listing, passed away many years ago. Its been with the family ever since, living in its case, unplayed. 7APR66 A neck date, with matching '66 pots. Serial #145275. The Candy Apple Red finish is un-faded, with a beautiful, almost merlot look. Really the only minor wear are some spots along the edges. The original owner wanted to keep the bass as mint as possible, so when it started showing a little wear on those edges, including a few small dings, he touched it up, matching the finish as close as possible. And it's super close, and only in a few spots. The rest of the bass & finish are perfect. Playability is exceptional! The neck is smooth as can be, with easy playing low action. The frets have life left as well. Both single coil pickups are strong & balanced, with beautiful range. The neck reads 6.24k, and the bridge 6.74k. It truly sounds incredible. This bass is the real deal from top to bottom. Just an amazing example of a rare custom color. OHSC included!
