Bolt-on rock maple neck, maple fingerboard, black hardware and the unmistakable pointed headstock give it a look and feel that is pure 80s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Charvel Model Series was produced in Japan from 1986 to 1989 only, making this a relatively short production window. The neck plate carries the \"BY JACKSON\/CHARVEL\" logo with the Fort Worth, Texas address and serial 290701. Model Series bolt-on basses do not have a publicly documented year-by-year serial chart, so the production period is stated as a range rather than a single year. The single split-coil Jackson pickup with simple Volume\/Tone wiring keeps the signal path direct and punchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== SPECIFICATIONS ==\u003cbr\u003e- Model: Model 1B (Charvel Model Series)\u003cbr\u003e- Year: 1986-1989 (Japanese Model Series production period)\u003cbr\u003e- Serial: 290701 (neck plate)\u003cbr\u003e- Country of Origin: Japan\u003cbr\u003e- Color: Vintage White\u003cbr\u003e- Body: Poplar\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Maple, bolt-on, 4-bolt\u003cbr\u003e- Fingerboard: Maple, 21 frets, black dot inlays\u003cbr\u003e- Scale: 34\" (long scale)\u003cbr\u003e- Pickup: One Jackson split-coil (J-20 spec) in P position\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume, Tone\u003cbr\u003e- Bridge: Black bass bridge\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Jackson-branded, 4-in-line\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Black\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 4.35 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== CONDITION ==\u003cbr\u003eOverall: Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Body: Scratches and playwear consistent with age; a finish crack in the neck pocket area (finish only, does not reach the wood)\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Straight\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Approximately 60-70% remaining\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Tarnish on metal parts (vintage patina)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll electronics function correctly and the bass plays as intended.

This one is an honest player's piece: straight neck, plenty of fret life left, and the kind of vintage patina on the hardware that you cannot fake. For a player who wants a simple, loud P-style voice in an unmistakably 80s package, this is a direct and practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease feel free to message with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleaned, set up, and inspected by our luthier before shipping:\u003cbr\u003e- Neck relief and action adjusted\u003cbr\u003e- Frets and fingerboard cleaned\u003cbr\u003e- Intonation set\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners and electronics checked\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING FROM JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Shipped worldwide from Japan with full tracking and insurance\u003cbr\u003e- Carefully packed with protective wrapping, strings detuned to relieve neck tension in transit\u003cbr\u003e- Processed and shipped within 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50565304910066,"sku":"CHA_MODEL1B_0919","price":47300.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/3113\/3426\/files\/01_ca73a316-b15e-40b1-ada7-8f1d12b71d68.jpg?v=1790318731","url":"https:\/\/revertyjapan.com\/products\/1986-1989-charvel-model-1b-bass-mij-vintage-white-maple-jackson-j-20-japan","provider":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
