FENDER JASS BASS SERIAL IS MN1101418 - Fender Music

Jon has told you about the serial number.

Don't get Fender Fenders confused with Squier Fenders either.

Once you know the serial number you should be able to find out the year here

Then you could try Googling:

"reverb.com Fender Jazz Bass (year)"

and you will see a range of used prices.

Firstly, it is a Fender Bass, not base (sorry, I'm an old bass player).

Yours is a good one, made at the Fender factory in Fullerton USA, in 1968, and is #38173 in that year.

Depending on condition it is worth anywhere from $3000-$5000, but you would get lower, silly offers. Keep it, don't sell !!

Standard J-Bass wiring is parallel. Not series.

To run the pickups in series, the ground of one pickup would feed into the hot of the next. That's not what comes from the factory.

The "S" means it was manufactured in the 1970's. The "8" means this was made in 1978.This serial number would suggest this is an 1978 American P Bass. Depending on the condition, you should be expecting to get in between $1200 and $2000. But always remember, a guitar is only worth what people are willing to pay.

something is wrong here the serial number is missing either a # or letter the G denotes a Japanese bass and the year would be 87-88 the prefix GO and 5 #'s wood mean it is a walnut p bass special from 1982 ?

a Mexican 2006 around $350.00

I would need the complete serial #s, this serial # would be a 1968. Fender did not manufacture a Deluxe (or active) Bass guitar line at that time.

From that era, it would typically have a 6 digit number stamped into the neck plate.
Somewhere in the 120K ~ 220K range.

It is a Mexican Fender Jazz Bass manufactured between 2000 and 2001 (MZ0 + 5 or 6 digits 2000-2001)

# z2135395 Your Jazz was built at the Fender Corona, CA. USA Plant.
2002-2003
