Mr. Foxen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Wrong knobs, covered belly contour, reckon its not a Fender, woulda been a bargain otherwise: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-1998-1999_W0QQitemZ190338493713QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item2c510eed11&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]Trowbridge.[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos3h Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Didn't last long. I'd have said it looked scrappy but genuine enough. Bit of a clean and it's probably a nice bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thinking back, some Mexis had the strat knobs, but the covered contour is usually reserved for block and board/ply basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-khag Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 my jazz bass has the same knobs, bought it new in 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The covered contour is a bit of a bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd. I like the reason for sale - "in need of being sold for financial pupose". What, instead of for a bucket of fish? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Just like a MIM I bought new back in the day. Nice bass, it was.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I reckon that was genuine. They certainly had strat knobs in the 80s. I used to own a black one with exactly those style knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 yeah i'd have thought if it wasn't genuine the burst would have been over the front contour too. As people say, they may have come with those knobs, but someone could just have easily have changed them anyway. Looks genuine enough.
