Up for sale is a late 1970s Fender Jazz Bass (S8 serial), with a single owner since new. Well cared for and completely original in all its structural components.

Original electronics with CTS pots dated 1979 (137-79), original pickups, and all original hardware, including pickup covers and all factory parts.

Recently serviced by experienced luthier Iñaki Pemán (Pamplona, Spain):
– Full refret with brand new vintage-style frets (0 playing time)
– Neck and truss rod adjustment
– Fretboard cleaned and conditioned
– New strings installed

In short: fully set up and ready to play, no additional work needed.

Black finish with natural wear, rosewood fingerboard with binding and block inlays (one of the most sought-after 70s specs), overall in very good condition considering its nearly 50 years of age.

Dense ash body typical of the era, weighing 5.8 kg, delivering that classic 70s Jazz Bass tone: strong low end, defined attack, and excellent sustain.

Included:
– Original pickup covers
– Original vintage Fender strap
– Period-correct hard case (non-Fender, but the one that has always accompanied the instrument, well used)

Photos show tuners, neck plate, neck with QC markings, neck pocket, potentiometers (1979 date), headstock with serial number S853990 (1978/1979), and different configurations with and without pickup covers.

Additional high-resolution photos available upon request.

Price: €3,200
Located in Pamplona (Spain).
In-person testing welcome.
