Made in Japan Reissue?

Hey tb,

so I recently made a purchase on ebay for this bass. I only have one pic so far since I ran out of space on tb, but I'll figure out how to put more up if need be. The seller didn't describe much (which probably helped me get a deal, hopefully) only that it was MIJ. I saw the serial, block inlays, and neck binding (fell in love instantly) and figured out it was from 1996 (50th anni. sticker on back of headstock helps too). It had a white pg but it took it off since I'm gonna put a tort on in a few days

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could help me identify exactly which model it is? I figured it was a 70's type of reissue but there aren't any pickup cover or thumbrest holes in the body. Also, there looks to be an aftermarket brass bridge? It does have a 3 bolt neck. Any help would be appreciated. Serial is V030855.

V + 6 digits = 1996-1997 not sure of the Model - but it is a Jazz Bass : )
