    Product Description

    1985, Made In Japan, “E” serial

     

    FujiGen production

     

    PJ535, Jazz Bass Special model

     

    Direct from the 1985 “Boxer” catalogue model range

     

    1ST Year of Production

     

    This 535 model is much harder to find, and extremely sought after

     

    These Jazz Bass Specials were made famous by Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses

     

    His model (which became a signature reissue) was the PJ555

     

    This 535 is similar, the differences are mainly the slanted pickups and it is a 32” scale

     

    High gloss Black finish

     

    Matching headstock and neck colour

     

    Original Fender Alnico P and J pickups

     

    Hot Rod P-4D (Front), Hot Rod J-5DR (Rear)

     

    These have a larger ¼” pole piece, and higher wind

     

    Massive output and excellent tonal variation between the two

     

    Controls are a 2 x Volume, TBX tone, 3 way pickup selector

     

    32” medium scale

     

    Longer 22 fret board, 7.25” radius

     

    This model was also well regarded for its extremely fast neck

     

    Super thin 37mm nut

     

    Cut away neck pocket for ease of reach of higher frets

     

    Maple one piece neck

     

    Slab Rosewood fretboard, with a nice grain

     

    Only 3.6kg, perfect for comfort and long playing sessions

     

    All Black hardware

     

    Open gear tuners

     

    All original with no modification

     

    This one is a special find

     

    An incredible 40 year old vintage bass in excellent overall condition

     

    Would be an amazing 1985 Birth Year Bass for someone (or yourself) celebrating a 40th this year

     

    Also includes the Original Fender Gig Case/Bag

     

     

     

    ITEM CONDITION

    All machinery, electrical, and pickups are without issue. Some light surface marks and scuffs, some small impressions/dings/dimples/dents, very light tarnish to machinery, paint chip tip of headstock and one on the back of neck - as pictured.
