I didn't particularly like the colour then, but that one actually looks pretty cool...! Not a bad price either for a bass that may well be pretty collectable. edit: having had a closer look, it doesn't seem to be in the greatest condition. I've never thought of 'splitting of the wood' as being 'typical' of 70’s Fenders! Edited June 24, 2023 by peteb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It automatically lists it on replica list? I don't think you understand what I mean. In short; it looks different than all others I have seen as in appearance and lack of shrinking. We are talking about the pickguard, not the whole bass... Edited June 24, 2023 by SurroundedByManatees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i am not a specialist on vintage Fenders and only had my friends 70...jb on one gig, I didn't felt that vintage karma, i don't have to add. I think i am ok with my 2003. Jaco refinished and fretted jazz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossyrocks Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I've been looking for a vintage Jazz neck for a while. They crop up on ebay occasionally, and here too, but for one reason or another, price or condition, or both, I haven't bought one yet. This one is on ebay, and I quote - "1974 Fender Jazz Bass Neck in perfect condition." It clearly has multiple screw holes in the heel, some of which have been plugged badly, and it's £1.6k !! Rant over, move on.

SurroundedByManatees Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) 3 of the tuners bear the ® after the logo (used from 1972 and on iirc), and 1 doesn't. Their positioning is far from straight, which makes me think this are (old) Fender tuners on another make neck with newly drilled holes? Just guessing Edited July 6, 2023 by SurroundedByManatees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurroundedByManatees Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Could well be that you're right about that. So that would possibly make 3 replacement tuners...and the E might be the original? Edited July 6, 2023 by SurroundedByManatees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
