Product Description
The Chantays were famous for the 1963 hit "Pipeline."
This Pre-CBS bass was built in 1964 in Fullerton, California Engraved on the four bolt chrome neck plate is the serial number L20044. It has a contoured alder body with a tapered maple neck. It probably was originally sunburst and Mr. Waters had it painted another Fender color, Olympic white, which he detailed in a signed letter (included in deal). The 20 fret rosewood fretboard has 9 clay dots and a 34" scale length. Width is 1 1/2." The headstock Fender logo is gold and black with Jazz Bass trademark electric bass, offset contour body in black. The butt of the neck is stamped with the date 7APR64A. All electrics appear to be original with all three pot codes the same, 304-6410. They are Stackpole pots from the 10th week of 1964. The two original single coil rectangular pickups have black covers with dual pole pieces for each string.
Other than a number of dings mostly on the edges of the bass the olympic white body is in nice condition. There is light hand wear on the back of neck and a small cigarette burn on the lower bass edge of the headstock.
This is a really clean 1964 Jazz bass with a straight neck, fully functioning truss rod, a nice fretboard and a beautiful slim C shaped early 60's fast neck. The frets have plenty of life remaining. Tonally the bass is everything you want in a Jazz bass with versatile dual pickups. The original flat wound strings have been left on. These strings have been on this bass since at least 1993.
Included in the deal are lots of memorabilia Warren Waters sent. Original contract from Mr. Waters and the previous owners dated 9/22/1993, an early Chantays photo, early band posters, newspaper clippings, a 45 record of the Chantays with
"Space Probe" on one side and "Continental Missle" on the other, couple of photos of Mr. Waters with the bass, copy of Music Vendor cover with the Chantays dated 4/6/1963 and various newspaper clippings about "The Chantays."
Now you may ask why I am selling this bass. I just have too many basses and some need to go. I love the historical value of this bass, but it comes down to the fact that I am just not playing it as much as the 10+ other basses I have.
This is not a distress sale, so please do not make nay "low ball offers." If it comes down to it not selling at my price, I keep it.
