Fender Custom Shop 1964 Jazz Bass Relic — 2006 listing

A Custom Shop Jazz Bass styled after a 1964 spec — the Jazz Bass’s offset body and twin single coils make origin, series and originality important to value.

Why we selected it today

Selected for the Custom Shop provenance and because AG’s historical like‑for‑like metrics mark the asking price as a Great Price. The listing’s asking price of $3,849.24 compares to a historical like‑for‑like benchmark of $5,034.20 and a recent comparable median asking of $4,843.50; the benchmark uses historical metric days because today’s live like‑for‑like pool is thin. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

Fender Jazz Bass — twin single‑coil pickups, offset body and a narrower nut than the Precision; country of manufacture, series, age and originality create a broad used‑price range.

How the asking price compares

At $3,849.24, this sits against a current median asking price of $4,843.50 across 1 other closely matched listing. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at $5,034.20. The featured guitar is about 23.5% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Check neck relief, truss-rod operation, pickup balance, fret wear and electronics. Older instruments warrant careful verification of neck, body, hardware and date codes.
