Ktmman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Just seen this on Gumtree advertised as a American Jazz Bass . I am no fender expert having only owned a Jazz and a precision but I cant think what model this is ..if it is indeed a model... Im thinking 62-74ri, long horn deluxe standard usa jazz- ..... anyone shed any light? Its a 1992 . 22 frets Has a long horn? Block inlays (no bindings) Headstock truss access Skunk stripe Has 60s RI style pu to bridge earth Vintage Open tuners 4 pot control plate with dome knobs Bottom mounted jack Active circuit Ash or Alder Clear or stripped body? Only 8 pick guard screws,,,i just looked,my jazz has 11 excluding the pu cover ! Also just noticed a Micro tilt hole..

ash Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Looks like a bitsa to me just looks like a few 'right' basses in the wrong order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks for that Ash,, so I am more of an anorak than I realised - Typically, the seller is not a bass player,, so exempt from answering any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Dunno about that, the serial number puts it at 1992/1993 (I think), but I thought the US deluxes were strung through the body. I may be wrong, as I'm no fender expert, but there are mixed reviews of these 'Boner' basses. The 'block inlays and no bindings' rosewood board looks like it's come off a 70's Japanese Ibanez or similar… Edited December 5, 2013 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Badass II's are expensive, but £150? Must be shopping for them in the complete wrong place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I played a 90s long horn the other day im my local shop(twang guitars).. It had closed Schaller type tuners ,2 vol and a tone , and none of the above ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Those blocks don't look right. They're all abalone multi coloured - stick on jobbies perhaps and that's what's throwing everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmman Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 so without the blocks, what is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Having had a boner jazz this is confusing. It's seems legit apart from the tuners, inlays and contols/jack. I'm sure the standard(which I'm sure IRC this is basically, but branded as something else) didn't come in natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmman Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Which brings us back to square one - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Just get the serial number off them and email fender UK, they'll be able to tell you what it's original condition was, if anything doesn't fit stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
