Help me identify this bass

It’s a Jazz Bass…not a Fender. Probably a Japanese copy from several years ago. Probably refinished.
Not enough info to make too many other determinations.

 

[Rocket Queen]

Try looking for History brand basses.

 

[GretschWretch]

Also, to me it looks like medium scale.

 

[J-Bass RMR]

Not enough info ....................

^^^^^^^^^^^ Bridge may be a clue

 

[brushfirewolf]

Almost looks like the bridge that came on the old CIC Squier Classic Vibe, IIRC. They weren't that screw pattern though. I think they also came with chrome knobs. I believe the saddles on the one I had were brass (or at least brass colored)

 

[Thumpin6string]

Looks like a Jazz to me.

Also, to me it looks like medium scale.

I agree, it's not a regular Jazz.

 

[Slade N]

for colorblind folks, its a blue bass.

For everyone else, my guess would be a Hondo jazz copy

 

[Thundar]

I believe that is an SX medium scale.... i don't know where the SX logo on the headstock went

SX has a little hook on the end under the G tuner - see below

I ran it thru Google images. I don't think this is right, though:

• This is a Sadowsky MetroExpress solid-body electric bass guitar in an ice blue metallic finish.
• It features a 21-fret design and is built with a morado fingerboard.
• The instrument is equipped with dual single-coil J/J pickups in 60's positions.
• The bass includes a Sadowsky preamp with a vintage tone control. [1, 2, 3]

I then looked up this bass and it's not what the OP posted:

A nasty beat up James Johnston Jazz? Its sad if true. Those Squiers are amazing

yet another Jazz bass clone -

 

[BobKos]

I'll play. The 2 + 2 screw pattern of the bridge suggests an SX or similar body. The heel adjust truss suggests an aftermarket neck like Warmoth or maybe even Fender. I'm guessing there are Chinese heel adjust necks with Fender headstocks too but I don't know first hand. The neck looks P-width also and reminded me of an SX Jazz I. have that came with a P-width neck. With blue paint applied to the headstock I say it's a mystery parts bass. Do I win?

Most SX bridges had 7 screws and I'm unaware of any that had slots for the saddles like that.

 

[jimmydean]

Looks like something I built years ago from parts .

 

[Five or Six]

Pul the neck and see what's are on there. Also the pots?

 

[Water buffalo]

I could be wrong, is the entire neck blue?

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Trying to give them a heads-up before they receive a C&D?
