"Fender is undoubtedly the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It's beloved by countless top artists, including Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller, and Geddy Lee. (Titles omitted)
The Jazz Bass was released as a premium model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp, clear sound is beloved by many bassists, and it continues to enjoy overwhelming support and a shining presence today.
This is a genuine Jazz Bass, literally, with a vintage motif.
It was manufactured in 1983.
It is signed 8/9/83 on the neck end.
The American Vintage, manufactured between 1982 and 1984, is commonly known as the Fullerton period and has been rising in price in recent years.
It's like a USA version of Fender Japan's JV serial number.
The sound and wood quality are indeed high.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is made of rosewood, a classic design.
The body has been refinished.
The paint is thin and the texture is good.
The pickups are original gray bobbins.
Perhaps thanks to this, the low end is powerful yet clear, and the treble is rich.
In fact, some studio musicians have rated it as the easiest to handle in an ensemble.
The sound, with its rich, solid bass and sharp, beautiful highs, is truly classic.
I'm sure any bassist would want to experience this sound and feel.
I highly recommend it.
Approximately 50% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition. There are many scratches on the fingerboard, but this does not affect normal playability.
The body and finish show signs of use, with dents, paint chipping, and scratches.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The guitar has been refinished. The cold wires appear to have been tampered with. The nut has been replaced and heavily worn down. The bridge has been replaced with a conical, hex-type bridge with adjustable string height.

D'addario EXL strings, trusted by professional musicians, were used for setup.
Characterized by a powerful attack and rich overtones, they truly deserve to be called the standard.
These high-quality strings maximize the instrument's performance and character, so please enjoy them as well.
GIB craftsmen will tune them for optimal playability before shipping.
