I think you need to check the serial number is V and not U. The V series means US Vintage and should have the date stamped on the neck. Have your engineer check this the next time your have your bass serviced.
According to the Fender website, your bass dates from 1976.
This Fender bass would have manufactured between 1965 and 1967.
According to the fender website, your instrument is most likely from 1973.
1978.The S means 1970s.The 8 means 8, so 1978.
According to the Fender website, the serial number 369229, was made somewhere between 1970 and 1973. I have a 1964 Fender Jazz, the date is stamped on the neck. I suggest if you want to take your bass apart, you have an expert do it, or find out the next time you have it serviced.
It depends on where it was made; I've added a link to the product dating section from Fender's website. To get an idea of the value, you could try looking on Ebay for the same model (& year if possible) to see what they sell for.
Whatever someone is willing to pay for it!

1976
1977 according to the Fender website
According to the Fender website, your instrument dates from 1973.
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.
The fender Jazz Bass is a quality product. as long as there is no diliberate miss use, the bass and an eight year old should hold up just fine.

Your instrument dates from 1966. Hope this helps.
According to several pieces of Fender Documentation, the Year of Manufacture would be 1966. Within a year or so of when CBS took over Fender. (Post CBS)
You can date the bass by removing the neck... there should be a date stamp on the butt end.hfw9d
