Here is the best I can come up with.

This guitar is a Jazz Bass
made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - Pre CBS Era), USA
in the Year(s): 1982

Even though its expensive to call Fender (480) 596-7195 they can answer your question in less than a minute :D. Shouldn't cost too much!

test,

You don't need to call Fender, someone gave you the info already. For future reference: http://fender.com/support/product_dating.php

Esulatell, why do you have myspace on your sig but it's set on private? If you want people to know about your myspace shouldn't you set it on public view?

Thanks :)

I think so to but the thing is according to the person I bought it off its quite rare, and I don't want to modify it anymore because it would effect the value.
The pickups have already been changed and so have the dials I think, and there is also about 3 chips on it from where I fell over on-top of it :P.

Well if you insist :P
I MIGHT consider thinking about considering buying a tortoise shell guard.

How do you install them though?
Remove the old one and the new one just slots right on using the same screws?

Pretty much ^^^

You didn't buy the bass for incase it goes up in value do you, cuz if that's why u got it, might as well put it in plastic, vacuum seal it, store it for another 30 years. If you bought it to play it, do what you want with it man 8)
