Unit price per
Made by Fender in Japan from 1985 to 1987 (or so). The ”special” part of the Jazz Bass Special is that it has a Precision Bass body shape with a Jazz Bass profile neck and a P/J pickup configuration. They have a control cavity routed in the back so there is no pickguard (this also makes it easier to add active electronics). Finished in black, red, Sonic Blue, and of course, the yellowed pearl white of Mr. McKagan’s basses.
The necks all have a glossy black headstock, and a rosewood fretboard. They were available fretted or fretless. The backs maple necks were either clear coated, or painted glossy black. The pickups are passive with volume/volume/TBX (tone) controls with a 3-way pickup selector.
