Jaguar Jazz


Recommended Posts

Generic Japanese, or possibly Korean 70s copy, nothing to do with Fender & certainly not a Jag.

You can't infer a brand from the tuners as these were used on basses from every known copy manufacturer in this era, but they are a giveaway as to its origin. With bidding starting at £60, an undisclosed reserve, and the seller under the impression it's a Fender, it's probably stupidly expensive for what(ever) it is.

Maybe the block inlays? Or more likely just a word he's heard in connection to bass guitars. Like "Sting".

This sort of stuff irritates me.

If I were selling a Metro but didn't know much about cars, would I list it as a Ferrari? No I wouldn't. Therefore people should be more careful with their listings as it is a little naughty to misrepresent an item regardless of whether you 'know better' or not.

I emailed asking what make it was and suggested that it was Jazz shape and not Jaguar. This is the reply I got.

"Im sorry but I cant help you on the authentierty as I purchased it about 25years a go as a fender but did not do any research on its back ground sorry "

So not a lot of help there then! :)

B0ll0cks. He bought it for £20 at the car boot on Sunday, bloke told him it was a "Fender bass". He went home & Googled it, the first one that came up was a Jaguar. :rolleyes:

Absolutely not. He's selling it on Ebay, ergo every claim he makes is an honest, genuine, factual & truthful lie. :)

And I say this as a regular Ebay seller.

Wot? Similar in that it has four strings and is made of wood?

My first bass had tuners like that. It was a jazz copy and was badged as 'yamato'. it wasn't a very nice bass.[/quote]


You've spotted the similarities there! It's uncanny, isn't it? :rolleyes:
