Big Tex '63 Jazz Bass

Everything good comes from Texas - Buddy Holly, T-Bone Walker, Johnny Guitar Watson, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Big Tex Guitars! And EVERYBODY, including Billy Gibbons is talking about Big Tex Guitars. Big Tex is the hottest thing on strings! The craftsmen at Big Tex represent a combined 60+ years in the business of repairing, building, collecting and playing vintage instruments and it shows!

This '63 Jazz Bass is the latest and the greatest to come from Big Tex! It has the look, the feel and most of all the TONE of a treasured original! Using old-school techniques and the finest cuts of wood, the craftsmen at Big Tex Guitars have created a masterpiece in this '63 Jazz Bass. This bass was hand-built to the exact specs of the original, complete with a medium fat "C" shape maple neck, a 7.25" radius board, an Ash body and a Rosewood fretboard. Loaded with Lollar pups for the best tone possible, it just doesn't get any better! .

Bright, articulate, defined, rockin' and cool! The Jazz Bass is distinct from the Precision Bass in that its tone is brighter and richer in the midrange with less emphasis on the fundamental harmonic. With a bright funky sound and more high end than the Precision Bass, the Jazz Bass is ideal for slap playing as well as finger-style playing. Because of this, many bass players who want to be more "forward" in the mix, like Noel Redding, John Paul Jones, Verdine White, Larry Graham and John Entwistle, (to name a few) prefer the Jazz Bass. If you want to truly experience Jimi Hendrix, ya gotta have Noel Redding in there on the '63 Jazz Bass! The '63 Jazz Bass is the heart of the band!

 

This Big Tex '63 Jazz Bass is all that and more! It has a beautiful sunburst finish and a tortoise pickguard, just like Noel Redding's prized '63 Jazz Bass. This bass has been relic'd to look like a treasured original and it's extremely lightweight too, weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. This bass really has that bright funky sound that made the '63 Jazz Bass so popular. This bass is brand new and comes complete with a lightweight and easy to carry gig bag.
