Hey I know that bass! I thought it looked pretty similar. My band went into Realtrax (the owner's studio) a month or so back, and Rob let me play that bass on a track. One of the nicest guys, with one of the nicest basses I have ever played.

These are beautiful basses (and I wish they were mine), but you might want to check pots for the date. Although the serial numbers may read S-8, they are most likely from 82-83. A 78 would have blocks. Also check the number of screws in the bridge. Three, as opposed to five, would also point to 82-83. Just sayin'.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Must be a twin ! That jazz belongs to a buddy of mine in Chicago who probably wouldn't let this bass out of his sight without putting down a human child as a deposit Although I get to play it when we jam or gig. This bass lives in his personal studio/rehearsal space.

Although, he is one of the nicest guys and has one of the nicest gear collections I've ever seen. He has a 66 matching P bass with almost identical wear n tear. I'd love to see if you could find a pic of that jazz you're talking about and compare the two "brothers"

John, I mean no disrespect by this, but what is up with that body? The bottom half looks a little...wonky.

i think that it's a combination of the lens distortion and the arm relief cut on it in that pic that makes it look that way. IMO, it's definitely not 'wonky'.

Haha, that's crazy, it's worn in all of the same spots as well. I figured it must have been his since you're located in the Midwest as well. Weird. Ill try to grab a picture next time I'm at the studio.

Here's mine, a Fender Jazz from 1966. Except from 3 screws and the finish, it's 100% original

For this cool "Dots & Binding" thread, here's my '78/'82 "transitional period" Jazz. 3 bolt neck, bullet truss rod nut, 70's spacing, ash body. The serial # starts "S8..."
