Guest markinthegreen Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) This is my 1974 (4 Bolt) Fender Jazz. This is all original, nothing changed, modded, finished, messed with. Completely original state. Looks fantastic, feels great to play, loads of life left in the frets. I brought this from a dealer in Los Angeles 4 years ago, I have used it at one rehearsal and it has spent all of its time in my studio. Its got fantastic tone. The Pots are dated late 73' I have recordings of the bass on request. It was set up by Chris Ward last year. I would like to trade this bass for a P bass of the same era, anything pre 74' Edited July 12, 2013 by markinthegreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudpup Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Thats "completely original state"? Hope you got it cheap - i would have insisted on one with some paint on it Or do you use belt sanders and chainsaws in your stage act? Only kidding!!!! Proper mojo machine you have there.

cloudburst Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) My 74 Jazz (also a 4 bolt) is not that far in serial numbers to yours (mine is about 75,000 newer) and could not have aged more differently. In fact it looks pretty new. The headstock has remained pale and not adopted the lovely vintage browning that yours has. And I played mine as my main bass for over 35 years. Just shows what different climate etc etc can do. Good luck with the sale. These basses feel and play beautifully. And if mine is anything to go by, the neck is super stable and you rarely need to adjust the truss rod or even tune the darn thing. :-) CB Edited January 11, 2013 by cloudburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
