Drop to £2000 before withdrawing.

Hey mate. Would this be music man/ sterling sizing?

Ill keep this up for 1 more week before withdrawing. Don't miss the chance to own a true vintage for less than the price of a custom shop and it sounds and plays better than anything.

I have a lot more photos but struggling with file size on the uploads.

Hi guys. Here it is, my 74 fender jazz. Incredible sounding bass and the easiest bass I've ever played. Let's start with the neck. As most of your are aware, 74 was the first year they did the maple/pearl block inlays. And I think the last year before going to 3 bolt necks. What makes this one so damn good as that it was made by herb gastelum the neck guru of fender for 52 years! The neck is stamped herb g. It has had a brass nut installed at some point in its career. The body is sunburst as you can see with the usual dings you'd expect from a 52 year old bass. Stamped H Ferry who was another well known fender employee. It has had a modification back in the day, someone cut out for a bigger pickup to the neck position. This sits behind the pick guard and has not changed tone in anyway. The bridge has been upgraded to a baddass 2. This looks like a very old modification and seems quite common with older fenders. The pickups have been changed, I would say sadly, but these sound unbelievable so although not original it is the sweetest fender I've ever heard, maybe sweetest bass ever heard! They are hand wound pickups made by Ben lindsay in the USA. From what I read he is considered one of the best winders? Completely silent, but sound amazing. Scratchplate doesn't seem to be original as I think they were black. But has some age to it. This has been a tough one to price as I think an all original 74 would be worth 3.5k or so. Ive put it up for what I feel is fair.

Are the fret board dots stickers? They aren't in the build pics.

Can you tell me the nut width on this one? Is it by any chance the slimmer 38mm version?

Its a p right now. But someone should easy be able to sort it out. I planned to swap wiring for a kiogon loom but lost interest and playing my jazz's.

Yamaha bb414, I picked this up on here a while back. Has an issue with pickup selection. It plays in the p position but not p&j or j. I swapped out the switch with a new witchcraft selector switch. But alas its the same. I think it might be the jack socket. But im basically resigned myself to only playing jazz nut width. So this is up for what I paid, £150. I can post it but will need to be neck off and boxed up.

Its sold, to me :). great bass and unreal neck. Pick guard was just random piece but yes covered the cable route.

Open to a sensible offer on this.

Interested in trades, but right handed ones

I have something very special in my possesion that I have for sale. It's a lefty 1978 fender precision bass, all completely original with original case and labels booklets, even the original key. The bass was owned by Ed cosens who was the bass player for reverend and the makers. He owned it for 20 years, and bought from wunjo guitars around 2005. It was used to record the album "state of things" and all his solo stuff. Toured all over the world with it. Played it at Wembley with Oasis and kasabian. It's been on jonathan Ross, jools holland, v festival and loads of others. I have photos of him playing it, its on loads of YouTube videos, I even have a video of him playing it for me before sending it to me, aswell as a letter from him. It's even got the same strings on it from when he bought it 20 years ago, which means they are the very same strings that recorded the albums. Weight is 3.8 kilos, amazing for a 78. It was something I planned to keep forever, as it's not often you see such a story connected to a bass, but being a lefty bass it is super weird to play, I was going to reverse string it, but it seems such a shame to do that.

Finally sold! The 2nd hand market is so weird right now!!!

Hi mate, the silk is purple on these ones. Dan fitted them and said they were ernie ball. But I think they are cobalt maybe not TI?
