1985 FenderJazz Bass Special Contemporary

Made in Japan Fujigen Gakki factory (FujiGen)

Original One Owner Bass!

This the exact color and model bass that Duff Mckagan famously plays.

Rosewood Fretboard with black painted neck and headstock

Passive Precision + Jazz Pickups with Passive TBX Tone Knob.

(The TBX is a stacked tone knob that allows you to open up the sound of the bass into a 1meg Capacitor and step out of a 250k capacitor) -

Basically this bass has way more sound to offer then a standard precision bass and has the tone of active pickups without using a battery or you can stay in the vintage tone spectrum with the knob only turned half way on.

Very minor cosmetic wear on the body with no dents anywhere on the instrument

!Knobs could be changed, I do not know if the first year of this bass got the "F" knobs or not, the electronics are original with TBX Circuit!

Passive original pickups with Volume, Volume, & TBX Tone

The neck is the fender "B" mid size nut width, that is not skinny like a jazz bass and not super wide like a 59 precision bass

Fender 80s USA Hardshell Plastic Original Bass Case In Excellent Condition

I'm thrilled to own this bass and I do not mind keeping in the collection until it sells. It's the most amazing precision bass. I have 3 vintage precision basses and the tone library this bass has is amazing as well as the feel of playing the neck, it's incredibly inviting to play for hours without even realizing it.

If you are Duff McKagan and you could have any bass and you choose this bass it says something!
