General advice sought re early 90s Fenders

[alhbass]

Hello. I'd welcome any advice about early 90s US made Fenders. I'm considering a 91 Jazz that seems a reasonable price, but I'm going to have to take a gamble on it, as there's no chance I'll be able to try before I buy.

I'm aware that late 70s Fenders (for example) are widely considered a bit dodgy - although yes, there are individual exceptions of course - but don't know what the general view is about the late 80s - early 90s.

Would be grateful for your thoughts & opinions. Thanks.

I have a '92 Jazz, it's my fave bass, I don't know about any other but mine is great.

My mij 1990 jazz is my number 1. Never found anything to match it.

my 1993 jazz is probably my favourite jazz that i've played. plays like the metaphorical butter, and does all the sounds i need from smooth jazz to gnarly, balls out rock.

Not sure about early 90´s but my 96/7 American Fender Precision Deluxe is the mutts!
Seriously great bass!

I did have a Fender JP-90 at one pont (starting out) but I rarely played it and can´t remember much about it. It was white. sold it to a mate.
That was definately from the very early 90´s
