slobluesine Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 1971 Fender Jazz I bought this from the original owner who bought it new from Barratts Music Store Manchester in 1971 He played it on his knee sitting down, hence the wear on the bottom of the body This is completely original, it even has the original set of strings and various picks Ser is 320xxx Pups are grey bobbins, rear is 3352 and front is 2301 Neck has no twists or turns, Klusons are very smooth too Pots are dated: 7116 Green ink date stamp is gone on the neck unfortunately It has a newish flight case bought in 1978 I’ve caught the Double Bass bug so this has to go, trades for Double Bass, Schroeder 1212L or Superlight EUB (the Bespokebass one) and Offers around £4,500, WARNING!!! time wasters will be extremely sorry!!!
