koval123 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Price dropped to £550 Up for sale goes a nice Fender Power Jazz Bass Special, made in Japan (Fuji-gen) most likely in 1987. It sports resonant basswood body in beautifully aged pearl white finish, maple tri-lam neck with dark rosewood fretboard and unique active ATE circuitry with passive mode. It carries small dings and scratches from normal use and is in good overall condition. Neck is straight with truss rod working as it should, frets show little signs of use From Fender manual: "The Power Jazz Bass Special features a unique Active Tone Enhancement (A.T.E.) circuit which can add low end "pop" or high end "brillance" to the sound of the instrument. The A.T.E. circuit has three modes: Passive (in which the Tone Control acts like a standard tone control), Low Frequency Boost and Midrange Boost." It comes with an old tweed case which is beat-up a bit but still provides relevant protection. Sending to Europe possible, ask me for cost estimate. Edited January 3, 2021 by koval123 sold 9
briansbrew Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 This was my old bass and the buyer will not be disappointed, loads of tonal choices, if only I was not downsizing GLWTS
Belka Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 That's a really nice example. The only thing I'd say is that it's not a 1984 model. The serial number puts it at 1986-87, and the bridge, pickups and paint job indicate more towards 1987. GLWTS.
koval123 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 @Belka: good point, thank you for the correct info. And @briansbrew thank you for your kind words, it has indeed unique sonic features.
koval123 Posted June 23, 2020 Author Posted June 23, 2020 I've found the missing F- logoed pot knob cap so now it's complete and 100% original. I also have a new replacement bridge and can throw in at no charge.
Dilon Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 I'm here in Texas very interested in buying that bass. Please email me [email protected]
mattbass6 Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 If this was in the UK, I’d be all over this. I always wanted one. I hope someone buys it soon so I can stop looking.

koval123 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Posted October 26, 2020 Hi, it's not. I've left it abroad when I was returning from my Summer leave hoping to bring it back some time in October. Unfortunately COVID stroke back and I cannot rejoin with it, hopefully will get it back in December. 1
