vinorange Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292781444634 I thought E serial numbers were Jap and then I thought they had 6 numbers after. Or is it genuine. Fender USA serial number database doesn’t recognise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The knobs are off an 80s model like the Precision Lyte. The tuners are the lightweight ones that have been fitted to US Standards for a while. If it is a recent US Standard, I'm thinking there should be the option of through-body stringing, but no ferrules on the back. I'm guessing it's a bitsa.

vinorange Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 It was the serial number that threw me first then I saw the witches hat F knobs which were on only 2 series of basses and I think they were both Japan made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashborygirl Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 It's a late 80s /early 90s USA Jazz, sometimes called a longhorn or boner. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=boner+jazz+bass&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjYuvSer6feAhWDDiwKHT5-DiwQsAR6BAgAEAE&biw=1396&bih=657#imgrc=f9kNzschROXw0M: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinorange Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Oh is it? Thanks for the heads up. The fender website doesn’t recognise the serial number but then that’s no surprise!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinorange Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 To fill in some blanks, he bought the bass in 2007 believing it to be new but it looks like it is a 90s Fender USA longhorn jazz. I googled some other longhorns and they do have the same style e series serial number that isn’t on the fender website. Quite why these serial numbers arent recognised on the USA fender instrument dating website is a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Look at that action, I could crawl under the E string. Notice too that the saddles are right on the bottom. Yeah, bitsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
