About this listing
Up for sale is a classic piece of Fender Japan history: a 1985 Fender Jazz Bass Special in sleek gloss black, featuring the highly sought-after slanted pickup configuration. Made during the legendary mid-80s MIJ "Boxer Series" era at the FujiGen factory (Serial: E543188), these basses are famous for their killer tone, incredible build quality, and high-profile players like Duff McKagan.This model combines a comfortable, lightweight P-Bass style body with an incredibly fast, narrow Jazz-profile neck. The angled/slanted split-coil P pickup tightens up the low end, while the J bridge pickup adds that classic bite and definition.Condition & Wear:This bass has been played and loved, carrying genuine vintage mojo. It is in Good/Very Good structural and functional condition, but does show cosmetic wear from its 40+ year history:Body: There is one large, noticeable finish cut/scratch on the body (see photos). It does not affect the wood or structural integrity.Neck & Headstock: There are a couple of scuffs and minor dings along the back of the neck and headstock edges consistent with normal age and use.Playability: The neck is straight, the frets still have plenty of life, and the electronics function exactly as they should.If you are looking for a pristine closet classic, this isn't it—but if you want an absolute rock-and-roll workhorse with authentic vintage vibe, incredible MIJ Japanese craftsmanship, and undeniable style, this is the one.Comes shipped securely. Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing!
