Forgive me, but that upper horn just looks odd?

So its either 1988-90 MIA with a digit missing or 84-87 MIJ with a digit missing,

They did f*** about with the body shapes in the 80s - if you look at the cover of "The Fender Bass" by Klaus Blasquiz the two basses on there have the same body shape as the one in the Ebay auction.

That's one of the late 80s-early 90's "Boner" Jazzes. Google it, they're very real.

I love how knowledgeable this forum is

I've never seen a jazz like that at all before. Personally I think having the upper horn like that looks horrendous too (and my guess is so did they, given it appears production of it didn't last too long?)

Yeah it's a Boner. That rosewood looks a bit thirsty.

Yup, 22 fret Boner (Longhorn originally?)
