    I thought Fender Japan didn't release the 70's Jazz Bass until 1990-91

    Very true Fender did not throw anthing away and so you will find pots from early years on later Basses. One of my 74 Jazz Bass is all but a 73 apart from the fact the thumb rest is on top of the e string, a move they did not do until early 74.( I know i will get my coat ) [quote name='pepone2401' post='621262' date='Oct 9 2009, 07:54 AM']May be possible.... but... as you must know, it's realy dificult to date a Fender Bass for sure... Neck stamp reads 1968, and pots 1967 as I think.... Once I thougth that the final set up was made in 1969 but.... Who can be sure of it ????? For all the others... Thanks for the comments ![/quote]

    Lovely Bass I think its a 69 looking at the pickup dates and serial number.

    Its been a long term project got the neck about 3 years ago then it took a back seat until I found the body about six months ago. No all the parts have been fine, been outbid on a few things though!![quote name='Platypus' post='570022' date='Aug 15 2009, 04:04 PM']Great looking jazz bass you have there James - how long did it take you to source all the parts. Oh, and did you get any duff bits along the way?[/quote]

    No one of the lightest basses I have less than 9lbs. I have an original Fender bridge to be fitted.( the Bad ass has not been cut yet) [quote name='Sibob' post='569846' date='Aug 15 2009, 12:30 PM']You wanna get someone to re-cut those notches on the badass....you're wasting half the outside edges of the fingerboard lol Looks nice though! Is it heavy? I'm going for a bit fat YES Si[/quote]

    PM'd [quote name='Beedster' post='550454' date='Jul 24 2009, 06:01 PM']This is very much a feeler at present, but as I'm having to rationalise a few things at present I think I might have to sell these. I bought the Jazz Bass to which they belong just over a year ago. The neck is an unlined and bound fretless which I love to death. However, it was not original (i.e., it was originally fretted) and that, and the fact that the body has been stripped and oiled, means that the bass was never going to be a collector's item. The bass has been my number 1 instrument for the past year, but the desire to get all the sounds I need from one bass - rather than switching between fretless Jazz and fretless Precision - meant that I recently decided to upgrade to active electronics. Neither a J-Retro or Sadowsky pre-amp fitted in the control cavity so, not wanting to tear into the '73 body, I bought a Warmoth body from Higgie, and I've been playing the fretless neck through a J-Retro and Nordstrands in that body ever since. I've kinda lost the urge to collect old Fenders and now simply want to have three basses that work (my main fretless Jazz, my back-up Precision fretless, and a utility fretted), so much as I'd like to hang on to these bits, I doubt I'll use them again. The PUPs work fine and I see no reason why they shouldn't continue to do so. The body has a tiny route under the pickguard which is not big enough for a 9V battery (I tried trust me). The covers and bridge may or may not be original, they look it but who can tell? The pickguard, although very old and beaten, isn't. I've taken close up pics of the PUPs and controls for insurance purposes but they're on another computer. I'll post those and some pics of the rest when I can get to that on Sunday. I've no idea of the value of these - I've seen similar age PUPs go for close to $1000 in the US, but then they're all mad over there. I paid £1000 for the bass and I guess if I get less than £500 for the parts it was an expensive neck, but c'est la vie! I'm quite happy for folks to voice their opinions on price below. Pics below. Neck DEFINITELY not for sale [attachment=29765:Jazz_Bas...complete.JPG][attachment=29513:CIMG0261.JPG] [attachment=29766:Jazz_Bass_body_1.JPG][attachment=29767:Jazz_Bass_body_2.JPG] [attachment=29768:Jazz_Bass_body_3.JPG][attachment=29769:Jazz_Bas...pocket_1.JPG] [attachment=29770:Jazz_Bass_pocket.JPG][attachment=29771:Jazz_Bass_PUP_1.JPG] [attachment=29772:Jazz_Bass_PUP_2.JPG][attachment=29773:Jazz_Bass_pots_1.JPG] [attachment=29774:CIMG0499.JPG] Bridge is currently on my '77 Precision. Crap photo as the P is very white and bounces the light around. Although it's certainly old I can't say whether it's genuine [attachment=29775:CIMG0489.JPG] Chris[/quote]
