Fender is the undisputed number one brand of electric guitars and basses.
Fender is loved by countless top artists such as Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller, and Geddy Lee.

The Jazz Bass was released as a higher-end model of the Precision Bass.
Its sharp and clear sound has been loved by many bassists, and even today it enjoys overwhelming support and a shining presence.

This is a Jazz Bass manufactured in 1979.
It is judged comprehensively from the serial, logo, PU, etc.

The body is made of Ash and the fingerboard is made of Rosewood.
The sunburst finish is impressive, which is bright because it was painted on the original white Ash skin.

It has been processed to be fretless.
There was a slight problem with this, so we re-adjusted the fretboard, etc. at our store to make it perfect.

The PU has different coil colors on the neck side and the bridge side.
This suggests the possibility of rewound.

However, I would like to say that there is no negative texture in the sound.

The tone is characterized by a low center of gravity and a deep, sunken tone, perhaps because of the heavy body.

The light sound on the bridge side may be a standard or strong need for fretless JBs.
However, this particular guitar has a different appeal.

I think it would be a great result if you change the PU to a Bartolini or similar, but what do you think?

If you are interested in modification, please feel free to contact GIB.
