    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    I understood that these started life "Silver" but the clear coat aged and turned yellowish green. Some of the cream colored ones have aged and yellowed as well. That really is a beauty. Congrats!

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    Yeah, the decals are genuine vintage flower decals from the 60s (with a 1968 copyright on the packaging) I found in a thrift store. Using them was my best attempt at turning a lemon into lemonade. Despite their age, they are still in excellent shape, have almost no fading or rubbing off where my...

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    Trust me my friend, the hot pink non-metallic bass (with green flower stickers all over it) ten feet away from me that I bought from Sam Ash in 88 or 89 is a Fender Jazz Bass Special in RAZZ BERRY. That's what Fender called the color, not me. And it's a screaming bright hot pink with no metal...

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    That's not pink, its RAZZ BERRY. It's the most unloved color that they came in, and I love it. It's so ridiculous that it's cool.

    Jesus!! That thing is nice! I love that color. I own 2 in Silver Metallic. One has been gigged to hell & back (think Sheehan's wife bass), the other is mint. I've modded both of 'em with Badass Bridges, DiMarzio pups, and Hipshot D-Tuners. And, both of 'em are absolutely phenomenal players...

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    Ooops, thought I got all the typos. Not used to the keyboard on my iMac yet. :D As good as the bass feels and sounds, the neck on the JBS is amazing. Never played one finished like the body, but have guitars like that and can imagine that the difference wouldn't be terrible. I prefer the...

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    Purchased in maybe June (?) 1987 from Sam Ash in Freeport NY during their moving/going out of business sale. Ad in the newspaper said the bass came with a Fender case. Tried to give me a gig bag, threw a fit and got an older P-bass hard case for free. She just fits snugly inside. I stole this...
