Early-2000s Fender Marcus Miller Signature Jazz Bass — MIJ — serial B008032, circa 2000–2001.
MADE IN JAPAN Not CRAFTED IN JAPAN. HUGE DIFFERENCE
this bass looks as if it was never really played… I don’t see any dents or dings. and it’s never been gigged with. Comes from a smoke-free home, and if you look at the back, there’s no buckle rash whatsoever.
Took this in on a trade. and she plays beautifully. I have a red one and I also have the natural one. I’m just thinning out my herd… you will not find one in this pristine of condition anywhere on reverb. The value will just go up and up, as long as it stays in this type of condition.
Description
For sale is a beautiful Fender Marcus Miller Signature Jazz Bass, Made in Japan, finished in Olympic White with the classic black pickguard.
Serial Number: B008032
This is an early Japanese example from approximately 2000–2001. These original MIJ Marcus Miller Signature basses have become increasingly desirable since Fender discontinued the model.
This bass has the unmistakable Marcus Miller configuration: maple neck and fingerboard with binding and block inlays, Marcus Miller signature headstock, oversized black pickguard/control plate, Jazz Bass pickup configuration, active electronics with active/passive switching, and the distinctive pickup cover.
The Olympic White finish has aged beautifully into a warm vintage cream color, giving the bass a fantastic look. As the photographs show, it has been very well cared for and presents exceptionally well for an instrument approximately 25 years old.
The Japanese Marcus Miller Jazz Bass has developed a strong following for good reason. These basses combine the traditional Fender Jazz Bass feel with the punch, clarity and versatility associated with Marcus Miller’s sound. The active circuit can deliver an aggressive slap tone while still retaining the classic Jazz Bass character.
