Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in the USA, |
including original plastic square hardcase, sold |
brand new at Boogie Musik in Vaxjo, a larger paint |
chip missing from the lower edge, some fret wear, |
this version of the Jazz bass gives full access to |
all the 22 frets, more info: American Standard |
Jazz Basses produced between 1989 and 1994 1/2 |
featured a larger body shape, a curved neck |
plate set into a chamfered pocket for greater |
sustain and a 22-fret neck, similar to that of a |
Precision Bass Plus, with a standard vintage-style |
top-load bridge, two separate volumes and a master |
TBX tone circuit. Usually known as Boner Jazz |
Basses, these early American Standard models |
(designed by George Blanda, who was Fender s |
senior R&D engineer during that period) were |
discontinued in 1994 and shouldn t be confused |
with the Fender Jazz Bass Plus, which has the same |
22-fret neck design, but utilizes a different |
(downsized) body styling, Lace Sensor pickups, |
Schaller Elite fine-tuner bridge on the 4-string |
model or Gotoh high-mass bridge on the 5-string |
model, and Phil Kubicki-designed active |
electronics. Unlike the Fender Precision Bass |
Plus, which had a maple-neck option, the Boner |
Jazz Bass was offered only with a rosewood |
fingerboard. The Jazz Plus Bass was available with |
an alder body and the option of a natural-finish |
ash body on the 4-string model for a $100 |
upcharge, either a maple or rosewood fretboard on |
the 4-string and pau ferro (an exotic hardwood |
whose tone is brighter than rosewood yet warmer |
than ebony) on the 5-string. The Jazz Plus debuted |
in 1989 (the 5-string model was released in 1990), |
discontinued in 1994 and replaced by the USA |
Deluxe Series Jazz Bass the following year. |
