Clarky Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 On further reflection, I am going to keep hold of my red Jazz and continue looking to sell my 74/5 Jazz as I need the extra money So .... £2050 for one sexy mofo of real 70's Jazz, anyone?
Noisyjon Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1389814166' post='2338257'] True, my timing is not perfect. Just like my bass playing [/quote] Clarky, that's a big +1 from me and well worth a bump GLWTS and all that.

Clarky Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Bump with reminder of new pic for those that missed it yesterday ^^^^^
Clarky Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) As there's been no real interest, I would potentially p/x for fretless Fender Jazz (in classic colour, eg, sunburst or OW) but would need to clear at least £1k my way (or fretless Fender Precision if it had a J width or 1.625" neck; rosewood or ebony board only, not maple) Edited January 19, 2014 by Clarky
Clarky Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 have had a couple of trade offers but this is principally a fund raiser from which I need to clear at least £1k. As stated above, a fretless Fender could be used as a make-weight
Clarky Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Whooooooossshhhhhh (sound of tumbleweed)! Am off on biz until weekend so last bump from me for a few days
Clarky Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Well I got free internet in my hotel in freezing (-15) Helsinki so here's a reindeer and Northern Lights type bump
Clarky Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 Anyone fancy p/x'ing their Fender fretless against this beauty?
Clarky Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1390610646' post='2347665'] It hasn't even crossed my mind [/quote] ha ha Keith! Well you know where I am
Clarky Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 £2000 final offer, or I will have to put this aside and look for a sale at a better time of year
Clarky Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Bump with reminder of final price drop ^^^^ PS, 3 more views will take it to 10,000. Someone must want this beauty
mr_russ Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 This is exactly what I'm after. I've been saving for a nice 70s jazz but still have a little way to go, if I get any bites on the Sandberg JM4 and Fender mim 50s precision I have for sale soon then I'll be in a position to take this off you.
Clarky Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 [quote name='Stag' timestamp='1390840073' post='2350142'] Extremely sexy instrument. [/quote] Why thank you. My wife said that when we first met (actually that's a lie) [quote name='mr_russ' timestamp='1390831367' post='2349970'] This is exactly what I'm after.

Womblelife Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Nice bass, so as James was saying it's all original including the case, so is the case (with orange lining) included? reckon it's a 74 because most 75s have the trust rod showing past the nut. Between you and James can you clarify the pups,pots and finish are all original? .."....also has it got a nice straight neck? Cheers
Clarky Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) The case has gone so it would come in a Protection Racket semi hard gig bag, as seen in the last photo on this thread. According to James (see p1 of this thread) it is all original although I have replaced the scratchplate (it comes with the original of course as well). From discussing with Fender aficionados, it was one of the last before they changed to 3 bolt necks nd the bullet truss rod. As for the neck, it plays very nicely with low (but not ultra low) action (c3mm at 12 th fret) Edited January 28, 2014 by Clarky
Clarky Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) My bass was weighed with digital luggage sales by the way, so it's very accurate In the first half of the 70s Jazz basses were usually under 10 pounds, in my experience, whereas in the second half of the 70s they often run to several pounds more (usually 10-11 pounds and occasionally a shoulder wrenching 12+!) If you check your PMs, womblelife, I have sent you the serial number Edited January 29, 2014 by Clarky
Clarky Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 On hold, pending a viewing this afternoon
