Fender Custom Shop Jazz

Post by Matt R. »

It's finally here (8 months) and perfect. Basically an NOS 1960-61 RI. Sonic Blue w/matching headstock. Hand wound pickups/concentric knobs.

Whoa, I said.

Well worth the wait! Are you to play it with the guards on, or off?

Me too.

What is the control layout? A volume and tone for each pickup?

Unfortunately off, most likely. I may use the bridge cover though. That neck pickup cover just gets in the way.

That’s correct. Sounds killer, but to my ears this layout tends to be a little less mid-rangy than the VVT layout.

Outstanding! I have always liked the stacked pot style thing. Maybe I mod my jazzbass that way too. :)
