Go to fendercustomshop.com & find a Fender dealer in your area.....be prepared to pay no less than $3500. or as much as $5500. depending on what you're looking for in your dream Jazz Bass. Or see if you could find a used one online.

That's where I bought mine and I am completely satisfied. They were very easy to deal with. Don't order online. Call them and see if they'll knock a little off the price.
I pretty sure that if they don't have one in stock that you like, they can order one to your specs.
I've had my CS bass about a 1½ months now. I've played it just about everyday. Great bass!
Good luck and let us know how things work out.

Find your nearest dealer and they'll call in what you want. Be prepared to do the wait (3-9 months) or look on the internet for a used one.

Here is mine.

Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I told her I re-finished my old one! :lol:

Naw, we talked about it before I ordered and she was fine with it......after getting over the cost! :shock:

Yeah that turned into a big adventure to get the bass, but it's a good story to tell that I'm sure will get better with time. :D

I certainly have no regrets. This bass is sooooo easy to play and the tones are virtually endless. I can only post the pics and as everyone usually notes they don't do justice. These pics are probably the best I have.

I wish I could let everyone have a turn playing it so you could really feel the beauty of this bass.

Thanks again for the compliment.

I agree. The satisfaction I get from playing this bass is priceless.
And they are meant to be played.
I sold my '92 Jazz Plus V last week. Hated to see it go after playing her for 20 years, but it's still an excellent bass and it need to go to someone who is going to play it.

O.K., I managed to get control of myself before but jut had to say it!

How do you get a custom bass? You get accustomed to it by playing it!
