1980 Fender Jazz Bass, black, ash body, USA made, with non-original hardcase.

S8 serial number, but dated to roughly 1980 by the pot codes etc. All original electronics and comes with original thumb rest and both original ashtrays.

Some scratches and dings as befitting a 42 year old instrument, but still looks great! The truss rod, micro-tilt and neck are in good working order, and its currently set up for a low action.

Sounds just like a 70s jazz bass should, with great lows and highs and a real growl to the tone. You can really dial in that Marcus Miller slap sound.

Weighs around 5.5kg with both ashtrays on, so it's not the lightest, but these heavier ones always sound the best ;)
