Hi, It is a 1978 Bass S at the beginning of the serial number stands for Seventy preceded by the no 8. S8
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.
It was made in the period 1990 - 1991.
1977 according to the Fender website
Your instrument dates from 1966. Hope this helps.
You can date the bass by removing the neck... there should be a date stamp on the butt end.hfw9d
