The 1975 Jazz Bass NOS is the mid '70s Jazz Bass as it left the factory, with no aging: a two-piece select ash body, a quartersawn maple neck in gloss polyurethane, white pearloid block inlays and a pair of Custom Shop Hand-Wound '75 Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups.
The 1975 "U" carve is a full, rounded shape, and the 1.5" nut is the narrow Jazz Bass width that makes reaching around the neck easier for many players. The 7.25" radius feels round under the fretting hand. Two volume controls and a master tone let you set the balance between the pickups, and the bridge is a 4-saddle vintage-style unit.
For an earlier Jazz Bass with wear, look at the 1960 Journeyman Relic Jazz Bass or the 1966 Jazz Bass Journeyman Relic. The American Custom Jazz Bass NOS is the other unaged Jazz Bass in the range.
Faded Walnut and Faded Cherry Sunburst come with a 3A rosewood fingerboard, and Faded Natural with maple.
The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from bass to bass, so the one built for you will differ in the details.
