A Mexico-made Standard Jazz Bass from around 2000, offered in excellent condition and priced well below historical like-for-like asking benchmarks.

Why we selected it today

The Jazz Bass is a versatile, widely used design; this listing is notable because the asking price is substantially lower than historical like-for-like asking-price benchmarks for Mexico Jazz Basses of similar era and origin, making it worth a close look for budget-conscious buyers seeking an all-original MIM instrument. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

How we matched this guitar

The Jazz Bass uses two single-coil pickups and an offset body, with a narrower nut than the Precision. Country of manufacture, series, age and originality create a broad used-price range, so origin and documented originality are important to value.

Key features

Two single-coil pickups (Jazz Bass format), offset body shape and the narrower nut typical of Jazz models. Listing claims an all-original, excellent-condition Mexico instrument from 2000–2001.

How the asking price compares

At $600, this sits against a current median asking price of $0 across 1 other closely matched listing. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at $877.27. The featured guitar is about 31.6% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Check neck relief, truss-rod operation, pickup balance, fret wear and electronics. Older instruments warrant careful verification of neck, body, hardware and date codes.
