    my 1st decent bass was a 1975 jazz bought in 83 sunburst with pearl blocks on maple,the gap at the top was big enough to store my plec,played like a dream and was envied by everyone,only sold it due to a desire for a rosewood fingerboard in 2008

    i splashed out a lot of dough in the 80s on a new westone thunder 3,it was all neck and a short top horn meaning the neck is miles away on the strap,so something with a decent size top horn to bring the neck under you is the job.also something that sounds nice unplugged just spotted you got one doh!...enjoy

    serial number checker websites should narrow it down,neck pocket stamps etc.

    [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1352198815' post='1859871'] Where on the Internet is the best place to read up to become a 70's fender geek please? So far I've just been harassing the incredible patient Ricks Fine '52 [/quote]stuff like this.. [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/support/articles/u-s-instruments-product-dating/"]http://www.fender.com/en-GB/support/articles/u-s-instruments-product-dating/[/url] in a nutshell serial number/logo/thumbrest is the give away,thumbrest moved from below to above the strings in 74,serail no,s moved to head stock around 76/77...jazzes went from 4 bolt to 3 bolt neck mid70s again big logo/small logo.

    got my 1980 4001 few years ago from a local guy off ebay for £800 which i thought was a bargain ,i got it more as a treat/investment.i'm pretty much a fender jazz devotee but i like the rick its a bit harder to play but the sound and look are 2nd to none.

    [u]i have a t-max 115 combo with a 2x10 cab to take it to the full 500amp...bought it new around 97 and it was £800 then(combo only) so they were quite expensive...love it,always getting compliments on the sound[/u]
