A 1978 Jazz Bass has arrived.

When discussing the quintessential sound of the electric bass, the late-f70s Jazz Bass is a name that always comes up. The 1978 model, in particular, is the object of many bassistsf admiration as it evokes the iconic sound pioneered by Marcus Miller.

Upon arrival, this instrument had a crack in the nut, so we have replaced it.
The wiring for the front pickup had come loose, so we reattached it; however, there were no signs that the potentiometer or pickup had been replaced.
The pot dates?137-7849 x3?indicate it was manufactured in 1978.
The serial number on the pickguard matches the headstock serial number, confirming it is original.
Since the instrument arrived, one of the holes in the neck joint plate had become too large for the screw to fit securely, so a washer was inserted to resolve the issue.

Weighing in at 4.24 kg, it is relatively light for an instrument of this era.
This guitar was previously owned by a player; it is in good condition and well-set up, with no noticeable protrusion at the 1st-fret block position.
Additionally, there is very little gap on the side of the neck joint, making this a guitar with a high level of craftsmanship right from the start.

While there are some signs of wear consistent with its age, such as cracks, this is a guitar wefd love to see played hard.
If youfre looking for a playable f70s Jazz Bass, this is definitely one you should try out.
