1989 Fender Mary Kaye Jazz Bass - SUPER RARE - w/ Fender Tweed Case
Bass is in excellent shape. Electronics work perfectly. Translucent blonde nitro finish with all gold hardware. All the hardware is gold, right down to the pickguard screws. This bass was built at the Fender Corona CA factory as part of the U.S. Vintage series. I'm told these basses were built in the Fender Custom Shop. That seems right to me, as the quality of construction is sup...erb.
The finish shows very little wear. No significant nicks or dings on the body. The only issue I see is there is a "shadow" on the body where a piece of tape was attached (see photos). Comes with the tweed case and the Fender strap shown.
Mary Kaye Jazz basses from this era are extremely rare. This is the only one I've ever seen.
* A member wanted to see the bridge, so I added photos.* Another member asked whether all the hardware was gold. All the hardware is gold - tuners, knobs pickup covers as well as every single small screw on this bass.* Note the finish under the bridge cover is brighter than the uncovered area on the bass. This is common with older nitrocellulose finishes.
* I found the factory mutes supplied with the bass (see photo)
