I haven't worked out all the details yet, but ...

There was an E serial that ended last week without a case (it was white and had a tort pick guard) it sold for $890. I got this at a stupid low price point because the seller didn't name it correctly. I am very happy at the moment, I will let you all know what my thoughts are on this bass and what comes of the rest of the story. I know one person on this form isn't a fan of MIJ basswood basses, but I am going to see what it is like before I judge. Let me know what you all think. Cheers.

Congrats on getting such a good deal!

Thanks, I was really happy I got it for a really fair price. Cheers.

Nice deal! I have 2 white/tort late 80's MIJ Jazzes and I love em. Basswood sounds great to me. And to my band, too. I've been playing a SR5 exclusively since I joined the band. Recently I busted out the Jazz. My singer has dubbed it 'The Thunder'!

Very sweet deal, congrats! Let us know how you like it when you get it.

It came via UPS today. I REALLY got stung on the cost at the door for tax and brokerage fees, but it is in great shape. It came with a hard shell case and there is no damage on the body. It has been sitting under his bed for the last 25 years. It needs new strings and a setup, I am going to leave it stock until I get to test drive it. If I don't like it at that point I will replace things that can be changed without modification. Stay tuned, possibly more to come. Cheers.

I just went down to pick up this bass from having it setup. It is awesome! It is very resonant when played unplugged and punchy as hell compared to my P when played through an amp. The neck is so thin and fast! I love playing it and will practice more often now that I am this happy with how it feels. I don't like the sound of the bridge pickup soloed, but I am happy with how it sounds with either the neck pup soloed or both together. Have a good day all! Talk to you later. Cheers.
