Err? Your link goes to an ebay page of 150 Squier Jazz Basses? Any one in particular?

Now it doesn't!! Probably me or my steam powered PC do you mean the white one?

No it was me,I quickly edited it. Was just wondering which ones got a jv serial and why

[Nibody]

Do all the JV's have "Fender" in big font then a smaller "Squier"? Curious.

[warwickhunt]

...when it is a 1990 Jap Squier!

Well the serial number dates it to then any way. If you add on shipping and 20-25% in tax/duty then it isn't such a bargain.

No, only the very first JVs had the large Fender/small Squier logo (other than the non-export Fender/Squier from that period); JV's 'generally' have the small Fender logo.

<edit>

Oh and out of principle I wouldn't buy a Squier from someone who couldn't spell it correctly in their title.

Is that an E or K at the start of the serial number?

It does wind me up the amount of people that spell it wrong although I hope to one day find a gem on eBay that no one else notices cuz iv searched 'squire'. I suspect that day will never come. Nice bass although I thought 90s Squiers were Korean

Unless it's an SQ specced instrument which went out with one of the remaining JV plates.
