Product Details

Fender 1978 Jazz Bass Mod

This is a player's condition Fender Jazz Bass based on a 1978 model, modified for practical use.

It features a classic 70s Jazz Bass configuration with an ash body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard, along with a 3-bolt neck joint and micro-tilt mechanism.

The neck pocket is stamped with "SYSTEM CRAFT OSAKA - NEW YORK - TOKYO".

The pickups have been replaced with Lollar J-Type pickups, and the controls are active/passive with 2 Volume, Treble, and Bass. The preamp is molded, so details are unknown. A mini-switch has been added, but it is currently a dummy.

The bridge has been replaced with a BADASS BASS II.

The frets have been replaced and leveled. While it doesn't have a high degree of originality as a vintage Fender, it's a well-tuned instrument for practical use in live performances.

The ash body/maple fingerboard, pickguard shape, BADASS BASS II bridge, active 2-band EQ, and active/passive switch suggest a modification influenced by Marcus Miller's style. This player's specification aims for a clear attack, tight lows, and a punchy slap sound.

Please consider this not as a fully original collector's item, but as a player's vintage piece based on a 1978 Fender Jazz Bass with practical modifications.
