Left Handed Guitars

Left-Handed Custom Craft Shop 1975 Fender Jazz Bass Reissue (Black/Rosewood Fretboard)

(These Photos and MORE at: www.greygarden.org/BLKJBassPhotos.html)

Get Ready... Up for auction is a LEFT HANDED, 1975 Jazz Bass Reissue in Black, from the Fender Japan Custom Craft Shop. DO NOT mistake this for less-than-perfect Japanese export models. This guitar was custom made for the domestic (Japanese) market and is superior in quality to the U.S. Custom Shop ( I own several Master Built Fenders and I am already used to opening them up and finding sawdust in the cavities. I haven't received one without having to send it back at least once for some idiocracy.) 

That being said, let's get down to it...

This guitar comes complete with:

1) An authentic G&G Left-Handed Black Tolex Fender Jazz Bass Case.

2) Seymour Duncan Antiquity II for Jazz Bass Pickups (1 neck, 1 bridge - professionally installed).

3) The original USA Vintage Jazz Bass Pickups in the original SD Antiquity II Boxes.

4) The original hang tag.

5) ProLine Strap Locks.

6) Allen keys for: Bridge, "Micro Tilt" Neck, and Bullet Truss Rod.

7) Owner's Manual.

JCCS Certificate. 

9) Guitar Cable.

10) Dessicate Pack.

11) Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Decal.

12) Those wonderful White Felt Strap Button Washers (Installed!)

OUCH! If That's Not enough...

The guitar has just been professionally set up, the body cavity and reverse side of the pickguard has been fully shielded with professional grade copper foil, the rubber insulated wire has been replaced with vintage cloth wire, connected point to point by hand according to the original Leo Fender schematic and the circuitry has been star grounded through a 400V .33uF Mallory capacitor for the cleanest, most accurate '75 Jazz Bass sound possible.

Overall Rating 10

Comments: I'm 53 and have been playing for over 40 years. I've owned 100's of guitars over the years and always come back to Jazzmasters. These pickups, to me, are the same as being able to buy a real vintage Fender pickup without the high price. I've compared these to Fender AV Jazzmaster, Japanese Jazzmaster and my real 1960 Fender Jazzmaster pickups. The Duncans are as good as any and better than all but the original 1960's. The tone is big, powerful, soulful. If you really like a clean Fender surf sound, nothing comes close.I was surprised that they came with the higher resistance rating on the neck pickup. Because of this is I did install them in opposite positions and have a nicely balanced pair. They are reverse wound to give the hum cancelling effect when both are on. Surf's up!

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 10 Fantastic value

This guitar has never been played out, and has only been used for recording for a matter of minutes on one song (No Pick).

I could get away with selling this as new. 

THE NECK IS PERFECTLY SRAIGHT AND HAS 100% OF IT'S FRET LIFE TO GO!

The Pickguard is still covered in plastic with absolutely no marks!

ALSO, since Left-Handed '75 Black Jazz Basses are not available with Rosewood Fretboards, I ordered a 3TS with Rosewood and a BLK with Maple, and switched them up. So, unless you're willing to do that, this is pretty much one of a kind. Both tags will be included in the case.

The guitar will be well packed and shipped in a timely manner. I promise that you will not find a better deal. Enjoy, and BID TO WIN!

Payment is due within 24 hours of the closing of this auction (No e-Checks!). I only accept PayPal. Thanks for visiting.
