(Titles omitted)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jazz Bass was released as a higher-end model than the Precision Bass.  \u003cbr\u003eIts sharp and clear sound has been loved by many bassists and continues to receive overwhelming support to this day, maintaining its prominent presence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model features a body from around 1962-63, a neck from 1966, and an electronics system.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a stamp on the neck end reading “7 JAN 66 A.”\u003cbr\u003eThe neck pickup volume pot is marked with “304-661○,” and the bridge pickup volume pot and tone pot are marked with “304-6618.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on these markings, we have determined that the approximate specifications date back to 1966.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is made of alder.  \u003cbr\u003eAs seen, the body features the mute system holes and earth wire extending from the bridge, characteristic of Jazz Basses produced before 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on these features, I have estimated the approximate year of manufacture.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fingerboard is made of rosewood with a rounded profile, a popular specification.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frets have been refretted, and the nut has been replaced.  \u003cbr\u003eThe workmanship is of high quality, carefully preserving the original atmosphere.  \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, the nut has been replaced in a way that preserves the original binding, demonstrating high precision.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickups are difficult to identify as the dates have faded, but they appear to be original gray bobbin pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a stamped mark reading “13 BLACK” under the pickguard.  \u003cbr\u003eThis suggests that the guitar was refinished in black at the Fender Factory.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is likely that this guitar was originally built around 1962-63, with the body being returned to the Fender Factory in 1966 for refinishing.  \u003cbr\u003eDuring this process, the neck was replaced, along with the metal parts and electrical components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot dates are as mentioned earlier.  \u003cbr\u003eThe joint plate also aligns with the 1966 timeline.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bridge is unclear, but given the refinish and the absence of refinish paint on the bridge's underside, it seems natural to assume it was replaced.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickguard is also likely replaced.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering these factors, the neck can be considered to have its original finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, the specifications are almost identical to those of a 1966 model.  \u003cbr\u003eAlthough it has been refinished and is a “niccoichi” (rebuilt) instrument, it retains a high degree of originality.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck surface and frets are in good condition, so it should be fine to play for many years to come.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has the classic jazz bass sound that everyone loves.  \u003cbr\u003eHighly recommended.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remaining frets are approximately 90%.  \u003cbr\u003eThe truss rod is in good condition.  \u003cbr\u003eThe neck is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003eThe body and finish show age-appropriate wear, including paint chips, scratches, and weather checking.  \u003cbr\u003eThe electronics function well, though there is minimal static noise from the jack when the plug moves vigorously. There may be noise when the fingers touch the pole pieces.  \u003cbr\u003eThe frets have been refretted, and the nut has been replaced. The work was done with care to preserve the original feel. One of the neck pickup mounting screws has been replaced. There is a “13 BLACK” engraving under the pickguard, suggesting it has undergone a factory refinish.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControls: Neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, master tone  \u003cbr\u003eNut width: 38.4mm  \u003cbr\u003eBridge string spacing: 20.0mm  \u003cbr\u003eScale length: 34 inches  \u003cbr\u003eManufacturing year: 1966\u003cbr\u003eCountry of manufacture: USA  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument has been adjusted by GIB craftsmen for optimal playability.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Hard case, finger rest, bridge cover, pickup fence, strap  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText: Ryuma Terao  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspection: Terao  \u003cbr\u003eProduct photos: Miura  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGIB 3-month warranty included  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e◯GIB, TONIQ Warranty Information  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e●Maintenance: Free for life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstruments purchased at our store are eligible for free “string vibration setup” (normally 4,400 yen) for life.
