1973 Fender Jazz in Olympic white

When I got this I was told it was the original colour by the deceased wife who also gave me a pic of him playing it in 1990

Upon closer inspection it looks to have be oversprayed as the original guard holes were filled in to accomodate the new guard, they obviously didnt match up

So not 100% to its original colour but there are remanents of a darke white in the pocket, anyway on to the bass itself

Apart from the guard that I got from the states that has been reliced some, not cheap these

Various marks and minor dings but nothing nasty

I took the pickups out to verify the date codes, one is dated 73 and the other is dated 74, same red ink and green mark on the bottom

I can only guess that this bass could have been assembled early 74 with 73 parts and plate, maybe someone can enlighten me

Tug bar is aftermarket, most of the screws are original, pots date to 73 , serial plate 424488 is 73, pickups are dated 73/74

I had saved pics of the pickups. but cant find them but I can take them out again for the new owner if wished

Weight without the covers is 4.1 Kg's

Frets in good condition, truss rod works both ways

Some lacquer flaking to the neck but the neck is now completly smooth so you wont feel the flaked lacquer

Some stiffness in the tuners but holds in tune well

Good action and straight neck

Fitted with broken in flats

will be sent in a generic case, I have a later 70's case if the new buyer wishes to discuss, its the maroon velvet interior

I have priced this keenly due to the refinish, all original would be about 3.5K

Took this out yesterday for a noodle, Almost forgotten how great this Jazz sounds and probably one of the best I have ever owned and Ive had quite a few in my day....

Hopefully thats everything covered, courier is included in the price
