1972? Mine starts with 41 serial number and I thought it was from 1973/74.

Where's the battery?

[mike f]

With EMGs it will fit under the control plate. Bit of a squeeze, mind.

Yep - but not any that deserve to be in a vintage.

Actually, I was particularly taken with the main description: [size=3][b]Musical Instrument[/b][/size]

At least he is not a scammer then, its 100% accurate!

FYI, I bought a 72 Jazz last year (now owned by HiPeri0n) and it came with passive EMGs - I suspect they were a common mod. I bought some vintage correct p/ups and re-installed but wasn't a cheap exercise

I'd have listed it [b]For Sale [/b]instead of just Musical Instrument

Depends on who's playing it.

edit : Oh and (having tried to squeeze active EMGs in a jazz myself) my original comment on the battery was more about what may possibly be hiding under the p/g. Tis ebay after all.

I thought that would be a late 74 as well
