You should resize those pictures,but yes, it looks like a real 1978 fender Jazz bass.

I can't tell for sure but it looks like someone may have over sprayed the headstock. The S8 number is characteristic of a 78 and the fact that you have the matching number on a sticker in the neck cavity is further proof that it is legitimate.

Looks like it had some mighty rough living but it looks legit to me.

I have the same bass, with serial number S8852168. It came with the case (original Fender) so I think it gen.

I'm happy to have found this thread because this S/N is not standard and I was in doubt about my bass, even when I've own it for 25 years.
