This is an excellent example of the Fugi Gen era build from the 80s. This bass has that cool Marcus vibe and a build quality that is second to none. Most basses from this era are super heavy. I looked thru a ton of MIJ jazz basses for sale and they were all 10lbs and up. This one is an outstanding 8.8lbs. It’s smooth, fast and won’t break your back. This bass is 40 years old and plays like it’s new. They just don’t do this kind of work anymore, even in the new USA models that are $2k and above. This one is a KILLER. The EMGs sound great. If you look close there is genuine wear on the pick up covers This shows that this bass was loved and PLAYED. This bass is well broken in and ready for another 40 years. It does come in a hardshell case and free shipping.
