FENDER JAZZ BASS – 1978

SERIAL NUMBER: S8 46831

DATE: 1978

The Jazz bass first appeared in 1960, and was a radical upgrade of its predecessor, the Precision, with its new offset waist and custom contouring making it supremely comfortable to play.

It has twin single coil pickups, a super slim tapered neck, and was arguably a far nicer feeling instrument than the Precision – and thanks to those twin pickups a far wider tonal variation too !

This variant has a bound fretboard, block inlays which give it a more sophisticated look, and a killer ‘see through’ cherry/’wine’ finish.

Not much gigging time on this bass, it looks superb.

Very rare- all the covers (ashtrays) are on,
3 bolt neck with tilt adjuster,
Bullet truss rod,
Rosewood fretboard,
Block inlays with bound fingerboard,
Two single coil pickups,
