Thanks.. but these look different to that (and are about half the price..)
They have standard bridges and what look like noiseless pickups?

Almost like a 'custom shop' version of a Jazz Deluxe.

Ah.. after much digging..

Fender Custom Classic Jazz 4 Daphne Blue
Fender Custom Classic Jazz 4 string in Daphne Blue Finish and matching headstock, Nitro cellulose Body & Neck, Alder Body, Rosewood Fretboard, Modern "C" Shaped Neck, 3 Band Active EQ, 2 Custom Noiseless Jazz Bass Pickups, block inlays, 4 ply Brown Tortoise shell pickguard.

The ones i've seen don't have matching H/S though.. so.. I think the correct answer is..

They are whatever the dealer ordered them as.

Custom Classics were officially discontinued in 2009. Nowadays they're available only as custom orders.

The Custom Classic Specials came with a variety of pickups from Fender and other popular manufacturers such as DiMarzio and Seymour Duncan.
