It has the solid, planted feel you want from a great old Jazz Bass, with huge fundamental, serious sustain and a low end that feels almost piano like beneath the hands. The swamp ash body has plenty of natural resonance, and the neck pocket is exceptionally tight, helping the entire instrument feel like one solid piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt and hand aged in Los Angeles as part of the Glas Golden Era Collection, the bass was completed over approximately four to six months. The entire instrument has been heavily UV bombed before the relic work was completed, helping the finish, plastics and hardware develop a more naturally aged look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe swamp ash body wears a matte relic'd Olympic White finish with checking, edge wear, knocks, grime and exposed areas throughout. The tortoiseshell pickguard has also been heavily aged, with old school shrinkage and subtle warping that gives it the imperfect look found on genuine vintage guards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe authentic Fender maple neck features a slab rosewood fingerboard and an early 60s C profile. It has a traditional 7.25 inch radius, 20 vintage tall frets, 34 inch scale length, 1.5 inch or 38.1mm nut width, and a vintage style heel adjust truss rod.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe neck relic is deliberately more restrained than the body, with bumps, small dings and natural looking signs of age rather than excessive wear. The fingerboard edges have been hand rolled for a smoother broken in feel, while the nut has been carefully shaped and finished by hand. The frets have received a full dress, crown and polish, giving the neck a clean and precise playing surface. Vintage reverse wound open gear tuners and a period correct Jazz Bass decal complete the look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pickups began life as a set of vintage late 90s Fender Jazz Bass pickups before being completely rewound by Arcane Pickups to 1961 style specifications. They are open, woody and articulate, with plenty of low end authority and the upper mid character that makes an early Jazz Bass sit so well in a mix.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe electronics are built around the distinctive stacked pot arrangement found on the earliest Jazz Basses, allowing each pickup to have its own concentric volume and tone control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElectronics include:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage late 90s Fender Jazz Bass pickups, rewound by Arcane to 1961 style specifications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginal style stacked volume and tone controls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCTS potentiometers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaper in oil capacitors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull vintage cloth wiring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonePros 4 point output jack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenuine vintage solder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vintage style four saddle bridge gives each string precise adjustment while retaining the direct mechanical feel of the original design.
