Fender 1977 Jazz Electric Bass VINTAGE

Leo sure must have loved jazz and as any of us in the guitar business know, you ain’t gonna make a million dollars selling instruments made for jazz. But, Leo’s second offering in the world of basses was sure a home run. Unlike his Jazzmaster which was as unjazzy an instrument as you can possibly imagine, the Jazz Bass actually sounded great playing jazz. Legendary jazz player Ron carter played a JB with great style and dignity, but it was Jaco Pastorius that brought the Jazz Bass to another level. Jaco utilizing the back pickup on his defretted JB created a lyrical smooth sound that was truly magical. Years later another bass master the great Marcus Miller played the Jazz Bass with great distinction. Rock players as well enjoy the J Bass, like Geddy Lee, Dave Brown (Santana) and John Paul Jones.

This is a REAL DEAL Fender 1977 Jazz Bass Guitar with original pickups (front/neck pickup has been re-wound by Lindy Fralin). There are some finish scratches, buckle rash but otherwise this instrument is in "Excellent" condition! Non-original black tolex hardshell case included.
