Jon has told you about the serial number.

Don't get Fender Fenders confused with Squier Fenders either.

Once you know the serial number you should be able to find out the year here

http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx

Then you could try Googling:

"reverb.com Fender Jazz Bass (year)"

and you will see a range of used prices.

Firstly, it is a Fender Bass, not base (sorry, I'm an old bass player).

Yours is a good one, made at the Fender factory in Fullerton USA, in 1968, and is #38173 in that year.

Depending on condition it is worth anywhere from $3000-$5000, but you would get lower, silly offers. Keep it, don't sell !!

Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan
in the Year(s): 1994 - 1995

- via guitardaterproject.org

It is a Mexican Fender Jazz Bass manufactured between 2000 and 2001 (MZ0 + 5 or 6 digits 2000-2001)

according to this web site:
http://www.guitarattic.com/Fender%20Serial%20Numbers.htm
it could be either a 1990 or a 1999. Not particularly sought after years, unfortunately, but still a great bass. Do a google search for those years to get an idea of pricing in your region...different areas value some basses/guitars differently...probably in the 700-900 range

# z2135395 Your Jazz was built at the Fender Corona, CA. USA Plant.
2002-2003
