1978 Jazz...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='196554' date='May 11 2008, 03:09 PM']Buying any bass unseen is a gamble, but a late 70s Fender is a positive minefield.

The truss bullet seems to be sticking out a bit far...?

Besides, factor in shipping and tax, and you're paying a bit much, IMO.[/quote]

Well shipping is stated, but tax is always an issue... :)
Think I might leave it time being, my RI is serving me just fine at the moment!

I've got one from (I think) earlier that year S No starts S73
It's a lovely bass speaks easily and clearly, low action with no buzz and a killer sound, not too heavy either.
I agree with others though that buying without trying is very risky.
I had hours in a shop with mine.
Although I suppose you could always get what you paid for it, but adding import tax does make it a bit pricey, Hell I think a lot pricey I think it's stupid the way they have risen. I paid £400 for mine.

[quote name='acidbass' post='196614' date='May 11 2008, 06:17 PM']+1 on what has been said about buying a 70's Fender unplayed, although it is a lovely looking bass! Very Paul Simonon.[/quote]

+2 on 70s Fenders.

Very pretty bass all the same. White with pearl blocks really does look good.

Didn't Simonon play a Precision though?
