wateroftyne Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Right, I'm digging my heels in - this time I'm not going to let emotion get the better of me. For sale: 1971 Fender Jazz. £SOLD.[list] [*].All-original apart from 200 quid's worth of Antiquity II pickups. (The originals are weak - I'll include them, and a rewind would sort them if you're that way inclined). [*]Wear is consistent with a gigged 42-year-old bass. No cracks or areas of concern. [*]Original ashtrays included. [*]Medium weight. [*]Neck straight and solid. The truss screw is flush with the heel. [*]The first few frets are starting to get a little low, but there's life in them yet. [*]Bridge has the the elongated screw on the 'G' which is correct for the era. [*]Comes with a letter of provenance from the guy that bought it new in 1971. [*]It currently has schaller straplocks fitted, but the original buttons will be re-fitted. [/list] There's no case, so I'd prefer collection / meet / deliver locally at the moment. I'm in the Newcastle area. Any questions, ask away...

Ghost Rider Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I've just Soiled my Shorts! If I could shift my Roscoe Beck 5 string, Fender 50s Classic & Fender 70s Classic Jazz, I'd be all over this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Exactly the same year and finish as my jazz down to those great block inlays w/rosewood neck, a great period for Fender bass guitars as well. You must be mad selling this! Great price too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 So many times I have wanted to buy this bass from wot. I won't be now as I have a 70s blocked/bound Jazz but I think Michael's looks better. Sigh! Someone buy this beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
