2000 American Deluxe Jazz Bass V

Based on the serial number, GuitarDater Project affirms that this instrument "is from the American Deluxe Series made at the Corona Plant (Fender) in 2000." Amongst its most prominent features are an alder body finished in "Crimson Transparent," five-in-line tuners, a bone nut, straplock-ready strap buttons, active electronics, "Noiseless" pickups, through-body stringing; and a maple fretboard with genuine abalone dot inlays. Controls for the active electronics comprise a Master Volume, Pan Pot for pickup blending, concentric boost/cut controls for Bass [lower] and Treble [upper]; and a Mid control. 

The bass was sent in because the Mid control was really noisy and scratchy; even after being sprayed with contact cleaner. Popping the control plate revealed some rather gnarly wiring and soldering, indicating that someone had been messing around beforehand. Long story short, the troublesome Mid control pot was replaced; and the taped-up wire splices cut, stripped, resoldered, and insulated with black heat-shrink tubing. Yes, that's about it for this 2000 American Deluxe Jazz Bass V. Thanks for dropping by, and God bless :)
