TheGreek Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 There's an ad on Gumtree for a mid 80s Japanese Jazz - s/n c026274 - is this a (generally hard to find) genuine JV?? https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/1985-86-fender-jazz-bass-japanese-/1351048638 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 That would put it around 1986 and too late to be a JV or the silver series that followed. http://www.squierwiki.com/Serial-Number-Tracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 A Fujigen-made C series for £430, maybe a bit less with a haggle? If I needed a Jazz and I was local I'd certainly pop round and have a look at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was late to the party, as usual) Probably a nice bass but definitely try it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
