dyerseve Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hi all, Friend of mine has a Fender jazz bass that is made in Japan which I am interested in buying but the serial number doesn't seem right. It is only 5 numbers - no letters. From what I can see online, this is not normal for Japanese made Fenders. Any ideas please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 It’s legit. Here’s another to compare it to: https://www.vintage-guitar.de/detailsitem_2670_FENDER-Jazz-Bass-The-Ventures-signature.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 They look like really lovely guitars and probably quite collectible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Nice…. What’s the Ventures connection? I always think of Mosrite with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
