Is this a genuine fender jazz bass - serial number PAT 28005?
1977 according to the Fender website
In the early 2000's, Fender made some custom shop instruments that had serial numbers that started with 'R'. My guess is that you have a Fender custom shop bass. You could call Fender and ask them about it.
The Fender Musicmaster Bass with the serial number S 845304 was produced in 1976. Fender's serial numbers from that period indicate that the "S" prefix typically corresponds to the mid-1970s. Therefore, this bass guitar is likely to have been manufactured during that time frame.

This depends. The Fender Jazz bass has been around for quite some time, so the year could be from the 1960's all the way to now. The best way to find out the year of your Fender Jazz bass is to look at the headstock. On the headstock, you will see a serial number... do a web search for that serial number to find the exact year of the bass.
A Fender Precision Bass with the serial number 897396 was likely produced in 1975. Fender's serial number system from that era indicates that this number falls within the range associated with that production year. For precise verification, it's always best to consult official Fender resources or databases.
Fender's 1999/2000 serial numbers started with MN9 followed by 5 or 6 digits.
1966/67, in Fullerton, California. I have a Fender Mustang bass from that same plant, 1977/78. :)
