I'm very excited to receive my new bass. Fender Jazz Special from around 1988.
In very good condition by the looks of it, original pickups with big pole pieces, all three F knobs (these are delicate and rare)
As it's quite late in the run it doesn't have the black neck but the neck is flawless apart from a scuff at the top out of the way, nice bit of flame on it too.
There is a covering over the rear access plate, do you think this is original or a replacement cover? Should I take it off ?
It going for a set up next week and some Rotos 66 just like Duff.
And here's the rub...I found it on eBay listed as a Base! So the price (included hard case, stand, couple of sets of strings and a mini guitar amp) was very reasonable
