Condition Good condition, plays great. The odd mark here and there as expected for a used instrument. There are two small screw holes near the bridge where a thumb rest was previously fitted. Frets are in great shape, having seen mostly flatwound strings throughout its life. Various marks / scuffs as pictured.
Overview Crafted in Japan in 1984, this Fender Jazz Bass is a superb example of the build quality and tone that MIJ models are celebrated for. This particular bass has been tastefully modified with a stack knob conversion and upgraded with Fender Custom Shop pickups, giving it a rich, vintage-inspired tone with added versatility. With a comfortable neck profile and solid feel, it’s ideal for players who appreciate classic styling with modern punch. A genuine workhorse with vintage mojo.
