PauBass Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I bought this lovely '76 Fender Jazz Bass from Phsycoandy back in November, it's a great bass but I bought Simon's '66 Jazz bass and this one has to go. The bass is in the exact same conditions as it was when I bought it from Andy, in his own words and pictures...I hope you don't mind Andy) Great looking 1976 Jazz. All original, bar the scratch plate and the thumb rest, which came out of my bits box. Pickups are dated '76 as are the pots etc, original chrome pickup and bridge covers including the mute. Finish is fabulous and deep, some very light belt rash on the rear and single small wear mark. The front is as the pictures, with a small wear mark where the peculiar metal scratch plate (which was fitted when I got her) has worn away the finish on the top horn a little where it fits. At some point the pickup cover has been fitted in the bridge pickup cover position, goodness knows why! so there is one extra lower screw hole in the body (see pic 6) and some wear where the bridge cover mounted to the body( again see pic 6), these are all covered by the bridge chrome cover. There are absolutely no other extra routs or screw holes. Selling for the same price I paid for it £1775. Bass located in Hove. Happy to ship at buyers expense or collection from Hove welcome too.

Nice set yours too and that white 5 P bass looks great! Not sure how accurate my bathroom scale is, I've just weighted the bass and it's under 10 pounds a bit lighter than another '78 Jazz I have at home if that helps....I don't find it too heavy to be honest, perhaps Phsycoandy can give us a more exact weight.

That Precision 5 is beefy as hell, the low B is excellent too. I need to check over my finances and have got to shift my Ampeg v4bh before I can do anything, but I'll get in contact soon.
