[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It looks to me as though it has John Suhr designed pickups. I whipped one of the covers off and they are side by side hum-buckers (E,A string then D,G string). I knew John Suhr single pole pickups were used on early USA Deluxe models and guess that the pickups in this bass are similar versions designed for MIM Deluxe Jazzes of this era. I had a quick google and found a few pics of the same model (same colour, year, MIM, and these big pole pickups). Like the USA Deluxes' this has a 3 band Active E.Q with 1x vol and pickup pan controls. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've had a MIM jazz a few years ago and was pretty indifferent to it, but this is way better. Nice feel, easy to play and the Pickups / Active Electronics give great tones.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass has been well cared for as there are very few marks other than some of the lacquer has lifted on the headstock, so it looks a bit matt in places. None of the lacquer has flaked off, its just lifted - tried to capture in the photo below.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The Bass weights just over 8 pounds. (not the best scales - sorry)[/font][/color]

A lot of bang for your buck.
