Vanzandt manufactures high-quality guitars and basses, and has a reputation for high quality manufacturing, especially in vintage style.
As you can see, this is a replica of the Fender Jazz Bass.
The body is Alder and the fingerboard is Indian Rosewood, making it a classic configuration.
The painting is done with nitrocellulose lacquer, giving it an authentic look and feel.
The specs are classic and the playing feel is just like Fender.
The pickup has been replaced with EVERTONE PICKUP NEWTONE JB4 Class-S.
The capacitor has been replaced with HUMPBACK ENGINEERING HANDMADE PAPER IN OIL CAP -BLACK-.
Looking at other examples, there is a possibility that the bridge has been replaced as it has a vintage spiral bridge. It also looks like the joint plates have been replaced.
The sound is typical of a jazz bass type, with a powerful low range and aggressive high range.
Still, it has a neat impression and has a charm that makes it more than just a copy.
I don't have any bad impressions about the modifications.
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works well.
The neck is in good condition.
The condition of the body and painted surface shows some dents and scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
Controls: Neck PU volume, neck PU tone, bridge PU volume, bridge PU tone
Nut width: 38.0mm
Bridge part string pitch: 19.0mm
Scale: 34Inch
Year of manufacture: unknown

When setting up, I use D'addario EXL, which is highly trusted by professional musicians.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, it is a performance worthy of being called a standard.
These are high-quality strings that bring out the maximum performance and character of your instrument, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB's craftsmen have adjusted it to make it easier to play and then deliver it to you.
