On Saturday I trustingly put this on hold for a Bass Chatter, I've not heard from him since, so please consider it available again. This has happened to me in the past, causing delays, lost sales and stress. So from now on in, I won't be putting items on hold. It will remain available for sale until payment has been made.

I’ve decided to sell my rather lovely, all original old Jazz. It’s an extremely good example complete with its original hard case and although the logo is missing, it is otherwise in great condition. When I purchased the bass it was advertised as a 66 but to be totally accurate, I’m going to list it as an early 67. Neck and electrics etc are dated 66, though the pups are January 67. The nitro finish has aged well, there are the expected signs of wear, some dings, scrapes and an area of buckle rash. Frets, truss rod and hardware are great and everything works as it should. The tone control knob does have a little damage with a missing section of plastic, this can be seen in the relevant photograph. I did consider replacing it but given that it still functions perfectly well, decided that keeping it all original was preferable. Solder is perfect and unbroken, the electrics work perfectly. Although I removed them as soon as I got the bass home, it has obviously always worn the ash trays. The bridge therefore, has remained very clean and easily adjustable, with none of the corrosion and gunge often found on basses of this vintage. I’ve got it set up with just the slightest of relief to the neck, a lowish action and fitted with D’addario Nickels. In the photo showing the rear of the head stock, a couple of screw holes can be seen, evidence of where, a previous owner installed a set of tuners, with a smaller footprint and maybe lighter in weight. Seems a strange sort of mod, given that the bass is light and balances well as it is, they must have come to the same conclusion, having reinstalled the lovely originals. Here is the spec: Sunburst over Alder. Maple neck. Rosewood Fretboard, radius 7.25”. Block and Bound. Width at Nut 38 mm. Lollypop tuners. Weight 8lb 8oz. £4,395 Cash or Bank Transfer. Collected from my place in Herts. Although I would much prefer the bass to be viewed and collected, please contact me to discuss postage and insurance.
