Behind the scenes

About Me

I’m Johannes “Hannes” Schwienbacher — a passionate bassist and collector of original Fender Jazz Bass guitars.

Inspired by the unique sound of a 1964 Fender Jazz Bass, I began building a collection of vintage Sunburst Jazz Basses that trace the evolution of this legendary instrument from 1960 through the early CBS years. 

My website showcases this collection and shares my love for vintage Jazz Basses with fellow enthusiasts — non-commercial and driven purely by my passion for music. Have fun!
