About this listing
Great vintage vibe on this one. You are looking at a highly resonant 1989 Fender American Vintage Reissue (AVRI) Jazz Bass in classic Sunburst finish. This is an early, highly coveted production era from Fender's factory return to form in the late 1980s. This bass balances perfectly on a strap and weighs in at a incredibly comfortable 3.85 kg (8 lbs 8 oz)—noticeably lighter than many heavy examples from this era, offering exceptional comfort for long gigs or tracking sessions. To ensure absolute authenticity, the neck has been unbolted to verify the original internal factory stampings. The complete date breakdown tracks its exact journey through the US workshop:Serial Number: V040923 (Early US AVRI series)Neck Stamp: May 18, 1989 (Hand-stamped by Fender builder M. USTA)Body Neck Pocket Stamp: June 5, 1989 (Features a clean matching ink transfer from the fresh neck stamp when originally bolted together).The neck profile feels slim, fast, and comfortable. Acoustically, the bass rings out loud and true. Plugged in, it delivers everything you want out of a premium vintage reissue: punchy lows, clear throatiness in the mid-range, and that classic passive Jazz Bass snap. This bass has been played, loved, and broken in naturally over the last 35+ years. It shows beautiful natural wear that adds to its authentic retro vibe:Clear cosmetic scuffing and finish wear around the body edges.Natural "sticker shadows" on the finish where decals sat over the decades, creating a vintage uneven UV aging pattern.The neck pocket and joint are tight and solid.Light swirl marks, surface marks, and play wear throughout consistent with a true player's grade instrument.Gas Station Guitars is a UK Ltd company, and we proudly offer a no-questions 14-day refund policy on all instruments.We have extensive experience shipping guitars safely worldwide, with professional packing methods developed to protect both hardcase and softcase instruments in transit.
