Fender Jazz Bass Pickguard
May 8th, 2010
Where/When is my Jazz Bass knockoff from?
I’ve had a Japanese knock-off of a Fender Jazz bass that I’ve been playing for two years now. I’m curious to see when it was built and by whom.
The only identification on it is the word ‘Japan’ on the metal plate where the neck bolts to the body. The headstock is completely free of any text or identification. Judging by empty screw holes, there were originally bridge, and neck pickup covers, and a thumb rest on the knob side of the bass. The bass has a good amount of scratches/dents and the wood and inlays are quite aged. It has a rosewood fretboard, block inlays (even on the first fret), and the body is sunburst with a three layer red pickguard (black, white, red)
If you could please point me in a direction where maybe I can find some info. Thanks!

Fender Bass VI $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Fender Bass VI, originally known as the Fender VI, is a sixstring electric bass or Scale Baritone Guitar by Fender. The Fender VI was released in 1961, and followed the concept of the Danelectro 6string bass released in 1956, having six strings tuned EE, an octave below the Spanish guitar. Its other ancestor was the Fender Jazzmaster, with which it shared many styling and technical details. Its body and electronics so closely matched those of the Fender Jaguar, released the following year, that in all but name the Fender VI was the first model of the Jaguar line released. It departed from the concept of the Fender Precision Bass not only in having six strings, but also in having a shorter scale and thinner strings.

Bass Clarinet $89.22 The bass clarinet is a musical instrument of the clarinet family. Like the more common soprano B clarinet, it is usually pitched in B (meaning it is a transposing instrument on which a written C sounds as B), but it plays notes an octave below the soprano B clarinet. Bass clarinets in other keys, notably C and A, also exist, but are very rare. Bass clarinets regularly perform in symphony orchestras, wind ensembles, and play an occasional solo role in contemporary music and jazz in particular.
