This eliminated 90% of the fret buzz that was most noticeable on the high G string. You will still notice the slightest fret buzz on sustained notes in the higher register of the G string, however it isn't audible through an amp and no choke out of notes. The frets appear to be original to the instrument. Additional screw hole from what appears to be a strap button on the other horn (most likely a left handed bassist used at one time).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe refinish has a couple of blem spots, like a slight paint drip near the neck plate, but overall it looks pretty good and doesn’t distract from its vintage character\/aesthetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Profile: Fender C Standard \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Thickness: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1st: 0.84\" \/ 12th: 0.99\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard Radius: 7.25\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 1.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale Length: 34\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElectronics Layout: 1 x Volume, 1 x Volume, 1 x Tone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePickups: Original Vintage Fender Jazz Bass Pickups \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eString Gauge: 45 - 100\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eString Spacing: At Nut (10mm String to String, 30mm E\/G) At Bridge (20mm String to String, 60mm E\/G)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTools Included: None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: All measurements are taken in-house.

We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHEAR A LIVE DEMO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__description\"\u003eExperience our innovative Video Appointment service!
