Hi,

My name is Vincent, I am new at here.
Someone trying to sell me a 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass.

I don't know how to identify this bass,
is it a American standard ? special? Highway one? or something else? or even it's a counterfeit?

here are some pictures the seller send me.

I hope some Fender experts can help me out here.
Very much appreciate your help in advance. :)

This is not the 60th anniversary jazz bass. This is the jazz bass produced by fender on its 60th anniversary not the guitars. Forgot the original name but its like fender 60th year edition. The specs seem to be very similar to American standard series.

This is a regular production American Standard Jazz Bass from 2006 with the 60th Anniversary badge on the headstock reverse that was on every instrument Fender made in 2006. It is not a commemorative model. It appears to be genuine and serial is 2006. I'm not a fan of body through stringing on Jazzes and prefer them top loaded myself. But it looks legit.

Thank you brotherdave! Yeah I am not really fond of string-thru design too.
But I just want to buy a Fender Jazz bass for home recording. I guess that dosen't matter much.

This seller selling me this bass for $600. I guess it's a good deal, so I am taking it.

Thanks everyone for helping me.

That's a fair price, especially with hard case.

Thank you everyone who contributed the help of identifying this bass!

I got it home already :twisted:
The setup of this bass was all over the place.
neck relief, rusted frets, string action too high almost impossible to play, pickup height set quite randomly.


Spent me 2 hours to get all setup done, fret polish, truss rod and other stuffs.
Now I am very happy :P Just ordered SD Antiquity II Jazz set.
They are coming next week. I am going to be even happier.


Thanks again for everyone :D

By the way. I have one more question for you Fender experts.

Do you know what pickups come with 2006 American Standard Bass?
The pickups on my bass are staggered pole, are they original?

I ask because I see most pictures of 2006 AM standard bass pickups are flush.

The color looks a lot like my 2004 Chrome Red American series J-Bass.
