Fender Jazz Bass 1970

For sale is my sunburst Fender Jazz Bass from late 1970. The pots date back to week 51, and the neck pickup dates back to 1970 too Otherwise there are no readable stamps that say anything, but it’s all consistent with 1970.

 

The bass is in good condition considering its age. It has a few small damages and finish checking all over. But nothing significant. The only thing worth mentioning is that the last few frets have been levelled lower to compensate for a bit of ski-jump (like many of those oldies). The bass plays great with a medium low action.

Soundwise it’s one of the best jazzes I’ve ever owned. It sounds warm and clear with some nice growl with both pickups on, but also does the bridge pickup snarl perfectly with the tone knob closed.

Included are the original Fender branded Hagström case (very rare), the original manual, and the original purchase invoice from January 1971!

With the chrome covers and thumb rest mounted, the bass weighs in at 4,4kg on my kitchen scale.

The bass has been set-up with d´addario rounds at the moment of sale.

Asking €5500

Partial trades are negotiable. I am especially looking for a Stingray with mutes and lacquered neck like late ’80s/early ’90s. Ideally in a honeyburst finish and maple fretboard. Other basses/guitars might be of interest as well.

I am not interested in 1-1 trades, and the main part must be cash in case of a partial trade.

If one of my Modulus basses sells first, this ad will be withdrawn.

I’ve got a lot more pictures available on request.

The bass is located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I can ship at buyers risk
