Fender is the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
It is loved by countless top artists, including Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller, and Geddy Lee. (Titles omitted)
The Jazz Bass was released as a higher-end model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp, clear sound is loved by many bassists, and it still has an overwhelming support and shining presence to this day.
This is a Jazz Bass made in 1978.
The neck PU volume pot and tone pot are engraved with 1377806.
The neck PU is stamped with ○○○○78, and the bridge PU is stamped with 111878.
Overall, we determined that it was made in 1978.
The body is made of Ash and the fingerboard is made of Rosewood, a classic composition.
This composition gives it a sound that combines a wide range with a strong mid-range.
Many JBs from the 1970s have a bland sound, but this one has a rich low range.
It has been refretted and the nut replaced. It feels smooth to play and is a highly accurate piece.
It has been well maintained and has a good, well-worn feel, as if it has been played for a long time.
I think it will continue to be a great guitar at the forefront of the industry.
I recommend it.
About 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is loose, but it can be rotated about 90 degrees.
The neck is in good condition.
The body and paint show signs of wear, with many scratches, dents, and chipped paint. The handle of the tuning machine for the 4th string is bent, but this does not affect normal use.
The electrical system is in good condition with no scratches. The tone pot is loose, but does not affect normal play.
The nut has been refretted and replaced. The playing feel is smooth and the work is highly precise. The bridge PU volume pot has been replaced with the current CTS product. The jack has been replaced with the current SWITHCRAFT product. Both PUs have traces of lead wire soldering, so they may not be original.
