1970s? Jazz type bass. Collect only North London

I have been given what looks like a 70s No name Jazz type Bass by a friend who does house clearances. It’s fairly horrible. One of the tuners doesn’t work- spins on its shaft, but the neck is playable and overall it seems in ok condition. It is fully functioning, pickups and electrics all good. There is no case.

On the basis it won’t immediately appear on gumtree/eBay, anyone who is able to collect it from either Barnet or Kentish Town is very welcome to it.

It reminds me of the Columbus, which was my first bass.

Too far and anti-lockdown for me to collect.

However, I think I have one of those generic Japanese tuners in my parts box, so could contribute that to help get it up and running.

It's certainly got the look of that era. I'm sure whoever wants it will appreciate the offer.

As an update, I've plugged it in and it is in full working order, all pots crackle free. It sounded OK.

(It may be, though, that the screw has simply become loose and is letting the cog ride up and disengage, so if it's still under the tuner cover, it'd just be a matter of unscrewing the 4 corner screws, tightening it up, and putting the cover back on.)

This must have gone by now...Update the title with "GONE"?

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Or at least a Mod would have locked it by now.

I dunno ... you just can't get the staff post-Brexit ...
