simon1964 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Price drop to £1750 I am reluctantly putting my 1974 Jazz up for sale. All original, save for the thumbrest which I added for a bit of extra authenticity (FWIW the thumbrest is from a 70s reissue). The pots date this to '73, but the thumbrest on the bass side would suggest 1974 or very early 1975 when the last four bolt necks came in. As ever with 70s Fenders, these are all a bit of an estimate, but this will certainly be one of the last four bolt Jazzes before the three bolt was introduced. I'm selling to fund another purchase so I'm not really looking for trades. That having been said, feel free to try me. I could certainly be tempted by deals involving a Stingray HS or HH. I might also be tempted by good quality Fender or Ric guitars.

simon1964 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks for the comments! I've had a couple of PMs asking about the weight. It comes in at around 10lbs on my bathroom scales, so about average for a 70s Jazz.
simon1964 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Bump for price drop. And happy to consider part exchange offers
jamie_k11 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Does this have the U-shaped neck, if so how does it feel as I may be buying one of those American Vintage 74's that does have the U shape.
phsycoandy Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Oh my lovely looking for trade options in the cupboard.
lee650 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 My perfect year of birth bass, right there I want very much!!!

[/quote] I've never played one of the American reissues, so can't really comment on how they compare. But this one has a slim and relatively shallow C profile. A bit too slim for my hands, as I'm more used to chunky Precision and Stingray necks.

simon1964 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Bump - happy to consider trades for cheaper basses/guitars with cash my way. I'm always tempted by Fenders, Gibsons, or Rics. Try me! Edited June 28, 2013 by simon1964
simon1964 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I've had some tempting trade offers on this, thanks, Edited July 19, 2013 by simon1964
simon1964 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 [quote name='jazzmanb' timestamp='1374238622' post='2146750'] confused now , is the bass for sale? [/quote] Yes, sorry for any confusion! It is definitely back up for sale. I withdrew it a month or so ago, but I've decided to put it back up. Gust0o kindly unlocked the old thread for me, rather than me having to post all of the pictures again
simon1964 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 [quote name='canarybass' timestamp='1374313270' post='2147428'] Is the original hard case included? [/quote] I've not got the original case, but I'm happy to ship it with a generic (non-Fender) hard case.
Old Horse Murphy Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Such a nice bass. Are you SURE you don't want to trade with my 1982 pre-Ernie Ball Stingray? Edited July 20, 2013 by Old Horse Murphy
rocker19 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I play as lefty..but I have to say..this is one of the most beautifull basses I`ve ever seen...Congratulations to new owner whoever it will be...

simon1964 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1374406196' post='2148350'] great bass whats the weight [/quote] It's around 10lbs, so average for a 70s Jazz. The one you've got up for sale looks fantastic - there's a glut of nice 74 Jazzes on here at the moment!
