Man this thing KILLS! Here we have a 1999 Fender USA Deluxe Jazz Bass in sleek factory black with a beautifully aged maple neck—an instrument that’s not just seen the studio, but helped shape the sound coming out of it. This bass has been the number one go-to for a top session player here in Los Angeles, used on countless sessions across genres, and it carries all the feel, tone, and mojo you’d expect from a true working professional’s instrument.
The bass is all original and comes housed in a brand new Fender TSA hardshell case—a serious upgrade in both protection and style over the original. It’s been played, but never abused. The body shows honest wear from years of use: surface scratches, a few small dings and chips throughout, and finish swirls in all the right places. No cracks, no repairs, no structural issues—just pure, road-earned character.
One of the standout features of this particular bass is the weight—it comes in at a super light 8.6 lbs, making it an ideal choice for long sessions or gigs without sacrificing tone or balance. It’s extremely comfortable on a strap and well-balanced in the hands.
The neck features Fender’s modern C profile with a satin finish that feels fast and broken-in. The maple fingerboard has some light play wear and a touch of darkening from use, giving it that played-in glow. Frets show moderate string crowning, but they’ve just been fully dressed and polished and have plenty of life left. The truss rod works exactly as it should and adjusts smoothly with no resistance. The nut is clean and seated, and the setup is fresh with Ernie Ball Slinkys—low action, no buzz, and slick up and down the neck.
Neck specs: Nut Width: 1.5"
Neck Profile: Modern C
Fingerboard Radius: 9.5"
Neck Thickness at 1st Fret: ~0.81"
Neck Thickness at 12th Fret: ~0.92"
The electronics are all stock and functioning perfectly. It features the classic active preamp setup with stacked concentric controls: volume/pan, bass/treble, and mid/mid frequency cut/boost—giving you a huge range of tonal options right from the onboard controls. The pickups are Fender’s original Noiseless Jazz Bass set, clear and full with a punchy low end and tight articulation that cuts through a mix without getting harsh.
Cosmetically, it’s a true 8/10. Expect play wear and marks from a working life, but nothing that affects playability or tone. The headstock shows some small nicks and scratches, and the fingerboard has typical signs of use, but everything is stable, clean, and solid. This isn’t a closet queen—it’s a studio soldier.
At GG, every instrument we list goes through a complete service and setup—no surprises, no shortcuts. This one is clean, solid, and completely dialed in. We are all players here, and nothing leaves the shop unless we’re genuinely proud to send it out. It’s ready for the next chapter in the hands of someone who appreciates a true session-tested Jazz Bass with tone, feel, and pedigree.
