Everything I can find online only refers to Mexican Made Jazz Basses with mn7 + 5 digits... mine is MN7144316 (6 digits?)... and yea I've double checked it to make sure I didnt key it in wrong...lol. I just bought this bass for $200 from a friend who's father passed away and I'm trying to figure out body wood and pickup type and tone pot specs but cant seems to find anything exact on it. It has white tortoise/mother of pearl (?) pickguard, steel blue body color, rosewood fingerboard w/ dot inlays and its non string through body. Any help? I was thinking maybe it was some kind of reissue? I know its nothing super valuable money wise but don't wanna feel like I ripped my friend off either. I've seen these Mexican Jazz basses go from $200 - $400 depending on model and specs

Your bass is a 97,which may have one more number than when they started over in the new millenium,the body is more than likely Basswood.
200.00$ is about right,I have seen them sell for like 300.00$ the most(usually the jazzbass is a little more than the p-bass)but believe me no-one hit the lottery(you)and no-one was bamboozeld(your friend)you paid fair market value.if he sold it to a second hand music store they would get about 250.00$-275.00$ and would have paid him about half that 150.00$ on a good day,E-bay maybe more but add in the auction fee's and its back to square one. :mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum. Often export serials don't exactly fit the North American serial schemes. It could have been an export model. I agree that was a fair private transaction price to both parties and that it is a 1997.
