Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including James Jamerson, Bobby Vega, and Michael League. (Titles omitted)
The Jazz Bass was released as a premium model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp, clear sound is beloved by many bassists, and it continues to enjoy overwhelming support and a shining presence to this day.
This model is the American Deluxe Jazz Bass, which has become increasingly popular recently.
While the 5-string version is popular, I personally highly recommend the 4-string version.
It was manufactured relatively early, in 1997.
The body features an alder body and a maple fingerboard, a classic wood construction.
Its modern body shape allows access to the high frets, yet it offers excellent balance.
The smooth highs and solid lows are overall very refined.
It's refined enough to be used as is even for line sounds without an amp simulator.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is stiff, but has been confirmed to operate at about 90 degrees.
The neck shows signs of high-rise. Adjusting it 0.2mm higher than the GIB standard (2.2mm-2.7mm at the 12th fret) allows for smooth playability.
The body and finish have minor scratches, but are generally clean.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The tuning machines appear to have been replaced.

This guitar is set up using D'addario EXL strings, trusted by professional musicians.
Their powerful attack and rich overtones make them truly worthy of being called the standard.
These high-quality strings maximize the performance and character of your instrument, so enjoy them together.
GIB craftsmen will adjust them for optimal playability before shipping.
