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

It's loved by countless top artists, including Jaco Pastorius, 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 1976 Jazz Bass.

Each potentiometer is engraved with "137751●", "1377514", and "1377514".

The serial number indicates it was manufactured in 1976.

Based on the above, we have determined it to be a 1976 model.

The body is made of ash, and the neck and fretboard are made of one-piece maple.

These are specifications typical of the 1970s.

The body weighs 4.4kg, which is relatively light for an Ash/Maple guitar of this era.

The body and neck are connected with a three-bolt joint.

The pickups are the original gray bobbin pickups.

The bridge has been replaced with a BADASS BASS II.

The pickguard has been replaced.

As a result, additional holes for the pickguard have been added.

The tight lows, bright highs, and sharply scooped midrange are exactly what we imagine a 70s Fender JB to be.

Recommended for those looking for a ready-to-play 70's JB that can continue to be used for many years to come.

The frets have approximately 60% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition. There is a crack in the nut below the 2nd string, but this does not affect playability.

The body and paintwork show minor scratches and dents. There is paint peeling on the horn area of ​​the back of the body. There is a paint crack on the 3rd fret inlay. There is a green paint-like substance on the body end.

The electronics are in good condition.

The control plate appears to have been replaced with a new one. The bridge has been replaced with a BADASS BASS II. It seems that the potentiometers have been later modified by connecting the backs of the potentiometers to ground them. The pickguard has been replaced (resulting in additional holes for the pickguard). Refretting and nut replacement may have been performed. The strap pins have been replaced with Jim Dunlop pins.

Controls: Neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, tone
