Fender Jazz Bass 1978 Lefty Butterscotch

Fender Jazz Bass 1978 – Butterscotch Blonde – Lefthanded

This is a killer 1978 Fender Jazz Bass, finished in a beautiful Butterscotch Blonde, and built in a lefthanded configuration. A great example of a late-’70s Jazz that delivers everything you’d expect from the era—big tone, solid feel, and serious groove.

The bass is comfortably lightweight for a ’70s Jazz, very well balanced, and extremely easy to play. The neck feels broken-in and natural, making long sessions effortless. Ergonomics are excellent—this is one of those instruments that immediately feels familiar and inspiring.

Sound-wise, it’s exactly what players look for in a late-’70s Jazz Bass: fat, punchy, and full of character. The low end is thick and authoritative, mids are present and growly, and the highs cut without ever sounding harsh. It sits perfectly in a mix and responds beautifully to dynamics and touch.

Craftsmanship is classic Fender—simple, functional construction with nothing unnecessary. Just wood, wire, and tone. Honest, straightforward, and built to be played.
