I bought myself a 1987 Fender Jazz Bass special

[Blazer]

And it was a bargain for just 200 bucks.






It needs new strings and a little clean up, the flatwound strings it currently has are ancient, probably just as old as the bass itself.

I don't free bass, but I have two. That looks like a great score.

That looks like the new Duff McKagen signature bass. I believe you have exactly what he has.

Funny that the original is a lot cheaper than the signature replica. Same deal-io as the Grover Jackson legacy series Charvels.

Cool. Why do they call it a Jazz when it's got the Precision body shape, though?

Very nice! Those do kick butt!

Someday...
I will buy a bass. I ought to do it while my hands are still strong.
Great score. The Jazz has always been my favorite.

J neck P body

Ah. That makes sense.

[Blazer]

J neck P body

Yep and the Fender Mark Hoppus signature precision bass has it the other way round; P-neck, J-body.
