A lightweight (4.3kg) 1973 Jazz Bass in Olympic White, which is presumed to be a refinish but hard to tell due to the expert quality. I haven't been able confirm this and neither were the previous owners, with the neck joint showing no prior finish.
It's simply presumed a refinish due to the stunning white which shows very little sign of yellowing, though it's entirely possible it was kept preserved for many years as its early history is unknown...
Other than the finish, the pickups are Fender Custom Shop & the neck volume pot has been replaced. It is otherwise original with all original hardware.
As you would expect from a '73 Jazz it sounds amazing with a great growl and feels extremely smooth to play. The only reason for advertising is that I'm looking for an equal Precision to replace it with, as I already own another Jazz with more personal attachment.
The neck is in perfect condition and one of the nicest I've felt, it still has a ton of life in the frets and the trussrod has room both directions so it can be setup to whatever your preference. Currently setup with 45-105 rounds and a very low action.
Rather than selling I am mainly looking for a similar age Precision to trade with. I'd be happy with any year up to 77 at the latest, however specifically looking for sunburst/rosewood, and with a bit of a preference for the older C-style logo...
Similar to this Jazz I'm open to those that may have some electronics or hardware changes given that they fit the original style. If you think you have something that fits this criteria then please get in touch!
I'd be happy to drive anywhere within a few hour travel time of Northants should it be preferred, and will include the non-original hardcase that it's currently stored in, many thanks.
