An Exclusive Sweetwater-spec'd J-Bass!

This fantastic 4-string gives you the vibe, feel, and sound you'd expect from a Jazz Bass right out of the '60s - and it's also a Sweetwater exclusive! The Fender Custom Shop's '64 Jazz Bass Special NOS is a special bass, indeed; this beauty of an axe features custom specs chosen by our own gearheads here at Sweetwater. In addition to the same distinctive J-Bass body shape, slim neck, and dual single-coil pickups that graced the mid-'60s classic, you get a super-playable 9-1/2" fingerboard radius and medium-jumbo frets (the original had a 7-1/2" radius and vintage-style frets). All the hallmarks of Fender's famous bass are here, including the vintage-style tuning machines, the old-school styling, and the time-tested pickup control layout. Pick up this '64 Jazz Bass Special NOS and you'll fall in love!

Consistent Great Sound and Quality

by Richard from Central New Hampshire
January 8, 2013
Music Background: Part-time Musician
I owned my first Jazz Bass in 1969. The sound, playability and versatility were great. Unfortunately I needed to sell it and have missed it ever since. Now, over 40 years later, I got the money togeth... read more [+]er to have the custom shop make me a new one and I can honestly say, that the sound, playability and versatility haven’t changed one bit. The minute I put the bass in my hands, it felt like an old long lost friend had finally returned home. The sound of this new Jazz bass was exactly as I remembered it. If you are a bass player, don’t hesitate to save up and buy one. I can honestly say, “There is no substitute!” close [-]

Mighty Fine!

by Marshall from Northeast Georgia area
September 19, 2012
Music Background: Bass player for 40 years
Got this bass in June 0f 2012. I hesitated to order an instrument like this on line, but figured with the retun policy being what it is, I wasn't taking too much of a chance. I played several off-th... read more [+]e-shelf models at a Very Large Guitar Store in Atlanta (you all know where I mean) but just wasn't thrilled with what I heard. Then I received this one, plugged it in, played about an hour, and I'm still grinning three months later. It was quite a hit with friends at a jam session in Athens, Ga. Great sound, great playability, the set-up was perfect out of the box, and it is visually as pleasing as it is musically. I'm glad I bit the bullet and spent the money-This is probably my new favorite out of 6 basses I own. Say what you may about Fender, they got it right with this instrument. and Sweetwater hit a home run with this line. close [-]

I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional. I have never been treated with such thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly service from any of the music companies located in Saint Louis, MO.
