FDP Forum / Fender Bass Guitars and Bass Amps / Since it appears that production of the GL Jazz has moved to Mexico, I have a question

In looking at the pic on the Fender website, the black version appears to have 60s pickup spacing. Am I deceiving myself, or does anyone else see this as well?

You’re not alone in your observation. I went through this exercise about two years ago during one of my periodic bouts with CIJ Jazz GAS. The black and sunburst photos indicate inconsistent pickup placement. I finally decided that Fender’s photo of the Black GL is inaccurate.

Here’s a different photo of the Black GL from FDP sponsor The Music Zoo. As this photo depicts the colored ball-ends of Fender’s D’Addario-manufactured 7250M strings, it would appear to be a more recent photo than the one on Fender’s website.

Didn't know they were moving it. Marcus Miller IV also!

Garp, it appears that the photo you linked does have the 70s spacing. I too think that there is some sort of strange photo error taking place.
