Judging by the degree of corrosion on the original two tuners (lower left) the owner replaced the others which were probably in a poorer condition.

Not sure , the US dollar has been very strong against the pound over the last six months making this a better deal Stateside , some (US) dealers have been asking $300-$370 plus shipping . Production levels were lower on basses compared to guitars added to the fact that Fender also supplied separate tweed cases for Precision and Jazz basses , so it’s important to check this prior to purchase as not all dealers are aware .Hope this helps.
Well, I’ve reached out to them - hopefully I’m able to “put the cherry on top” for my ‘82 fretless
I just meassured my Precision Bass case and came to: 122cm x 38cm. I wonder how much bigger the Jazz Bass case is.
So anyways the proprietor doesn’t think I should be spending that much on a case - oh well..
Different articel numbers in the catalog back then.
Do you still got the original bridge and tuners from your 84? (just being curios).
No, unfortunately I don’t
all the mods you see were done when I was a kid (17 yr old) I lost the instruction book, the covers, original bridge and tuners, I believe there was a strap and cable too - I’ll say, after 30 plus years the Schallers are super smooth still - the roller bridge is a bit obnoxious..
Yes , Fullerton tweed Precision and Jazz Bass cases had dedicated product code numbers and prices. . Your Jazz will be too wide and long for the Precision case so it’s always worth checking with the seller first. As for the cost ,these early cases secure the instruments extremely well and given the current values of Fullerton reissues, in terms of protection , will make a good investment . Should you decide to sell then having an original case can sometimes help in moving it on much quicker . I’m in no way affiliated with the seller , but do think these cases also help to embellish the quality that was taking place at Fullerton .I even ended up purchasing another just to store the case candy in.
Wow! Thank you for that! Interesting that they would that..
They are probably Japanese Kluson replicas. I’ve seen these on mid to lower priced early 80’s JV fender and Squier models. The US higher gear versions appear to be featured on several early fender/Squier JV models , especially the range topping JB62-115 which incorporated many US manufactured components. Photos show the three different designs found on early Japanese JV series basses.
Fullerton Tweed Jazz Bass case measurements are as follows :
Length- 125 cm.
Width- 39 cm.
Depth/Height- 11cm.
All dimensions exclude handle & studs .
