LewisK1975 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-PJ-bass-precision-jazz-MIJ-made-in-Japan-/172325684716?hash=item281f6945ec:g:anAAAOSw9IpXx0CT See link above - I'm guessing these were the precursor to the Jazz Bass Special as used most famously by Duff McKagan. Not cheap, but certainly rare I should think and lower than I've seen regular JV precisions and jazzes going for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Am trying very hard to resist that one, but yes, was intrigued by that JV plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Intriguing indeed. I'm tempted to say it's a Frankenstein. Body off the bass in the link or similar, Jap P-J neck and a JV plate? But...

Maybe it's just a plate thats been added? Edited September 12, 2016 by itsmedunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Close up of plate photo looks like it says JV. My eyes aren't the best though!

Coldflows Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It could be one of these? JV Contemporary. PJ555 http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/images/domesticjv/13.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there were various models seldom seen outside of Japan, much as there are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
