Squib Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Okay , I'm selling my beautiful 73-74 Jazz . Still not sure if it's 73 or 74 , as I originally bought it as a 73 and it's a 4 bolt neck , but from memory ( the bass isn't in front of me at the moment ) , the pots are dated 74 . No matter how many times I've examined the neck stamp , it's pretty much impossible to read ? I therefore concluded that the bass was put together in 73 , but hung around until 74 . . . or for whatever reason the pots were changed ? Either way it's a wicked early 70's Jazz . I suppose it's officially 74 ???? ( But it could be 73 ?? ) Lovely old refin in LPB with the usual dings etc . RW fingerboard /blocks 'n bound . Both bridge and pickup covers included ( not shown in pics . ) To my knowledge , all original , except the finish and pick guard and non original ( but old ) hard shell case . Everything as it should be and a beautiful sounding and playing Jazz. Always welcome to come and give her the once over and try her out if you are able to get to North London ? Will ship within UK or to Europe at buyers expense , but obviously collection is preferable . [s]£1850 [/s]plus shipping . Price drop . . £1700-00 .

I'll attempt to get better pics up later ? Edited December 2, 2014 by Squib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was done a couple of years back and was badly stripped and varnished when I got it . It had evidence of several different finishes over the years , none of them being the original , so I don't know what it was I'm afraid . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squib Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's a 1970's Jazz and its still here ??? We live in strange times ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie77s Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 We certainly do Squib! That's a cracking guitar and the fact it's still here puts me off selling my old Bassmans etc just now. If I shifted them I'd buy one of these beautiful basses for sale! Hope the market improves for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the strangest market that I can ever remember for buying and selling gear and unfortunately I'm an old git and have been around a long time !! Thanks for the kind words .
