Here we’re looking at a Jerry Jones Neptune Shorthorn Bass 4 dating to 2003 and built in the USA at the Jerry Jones shop in Nashville. It features the characteristic thinline body with pressboard (originally a Masonite product ) with thicker sides of Poplar or similar woods covered with a textured plastic, a bolt-on Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard, and a pair of ‘Lipstick Tube’ pickups. These pickups are called this because, in an effort to limit costs, Nathan Daniel’s pickups were packed into lipstick tubes he was able to purchase inexpensively. Original Danelectro bridges were a piece of steel with a Rosewood insert as the saddle, but Jerry Jones installed an improved multi-saddle bridge offering much better tuning. The scale length is listed as 30 inches or 758mm, like a Hofner violin or Beatle Bass, but I measure it as 29.75 inches (757.6mm). At the time this model was built, Jones put the serial number inside the instrument’s control panel, and the first two digits identify the year. r finish.
This Jerry Jones Neptune Shorthorn Bass 4 is in overall good shape, with some wear on the finish the Fretwear is light, and as a short scale bass it’s easy and fun to play.
