Fender is, of course, the number one brand of electric guitars and basses.


It's 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 than the Precision Bass.


Its sharp, clear sound is loved by many bassists, and it continues to receive overwhelming support and shines brightly even today.


This is a Jazz Bass manufactured in 1979.


The serial number is ""S855514,"" which falls within the S8 serial number range.


The potentiometers are made by CTS, and the tone pot has the date ""1377911"" (week 11 of 1979).


The pickups have stamps ""182779"" and ""183779,"" both of which are believed to be date codes indicating 1979.


The capacitors are original blue-molded.


Based on the above, we have determined this to be a 1979 model.


The body is ash, and the fingerboard is rosewood.


This is a combination that has become increasingly popular in recent years.


The pickups are original gray bobbins.


The tight, massive bass frequencies produced by the super-heavy ash body, combined with the midrange of the rosewood fingerboard, create a sound that envelops the ensemble from below.


This is a guitar with the potential to remain at the forefront of the music scene.


The frets have approximately 50% remaining.


The truss rod is in good condition.


The neck is in good condition.


There are small scratches and dents in various places on the body and paintwork. There are polishing marks on the control plate. There is a crack in the 1st fret position marker. There are cracks and dents in the topcoat on the headstock.


The electronics are in good condition.


Both volume pots have been replaced with current CTS parts. The internal wiring and pickup lead wires show signs of replacement. The frets have been replaced.


While the pickup lead wires show signs of replacement, the pickups themselves appear to be original.


The tone pots appear to be original, but the soldering to the capacitors has been redone.
