I would go and have a look at it then. If the serial number is MZ***, as he says it is, its not a 73 Jazz. End of!

And an MZ number would be on the headstock. A 73 Jazz would have the serial number engraved on the neck plate. There are lots of other clues, but its difficult to say definitively without looking at it in the flesh.

Yeah £900 asking price for an original 1973 jazz bass plus the old "it was my grandad's, I'm not interested" type line is a bit suspicious. Standard stuff to be worried about I suppose, it would be awesome if it all turns out legit though and you swipe yourself a vintage jazz for just £600 or so!

Simon I'm sure I read some where that when Fender introduced maple boards it was only with black blocks up until the mid 70s, when they then replaced this with pearl blocks though?
