Squib Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Okay , I'm selling my beautiful 73-74 Jazz . Still not sure if it's 73 or 74 , as I originally bought it as a 73 and it's a 4 bolt neck , but from memory ( the bass isn't in front of me at the moment ) , the pots are dated 74 . No matter how many times I've examined the neck stamp , it's pretty much impossible to read ? I therefore concluded that the bass was put together in 73 , but hung around until 74 . . . or for whatever reason the pots were changed ? Either way it's a wicked early 70's Jazz . I suppose it's officially 74 ???? ( But it could be 73 ?? ) Lovely old refin in LPB with the usual dings etc . RW fingerboard /blocks 'n bound . Both bridge and pickup covers included ( not shown in pics . ) To my knowledge , all original , except the finish and pick guard and non original ( but old ) hard shell case . Everything as it should be and a beautiful sounding and playing Jazz. Always welcome to come and give her the once over and try her out if you are able to get to North London ? Will ship within UK or to Europe at buyers expense , but obviously collection is preferable . [s]£1850 [/s]plus shipping . Price drop . . £1700-00 .

I'll attempt to get better pics up later ? Edited December 2, 2014 by Squib

[/quote] It was done a couple of years back and was badly stripped and varnished when I got it . It had evidence of several different finishes over the years , none of them being the original , so I don't know what it was I'm afraid .

umcoo Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Keep coming back to look at this one. What a beauty! Good luck
Squib Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 Beautiful 70's Jazz here you lovely people .
Squib Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 It's a 1970's Jazz and its still here ??? We live in strange times ??
Leslie77s Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 We certainly do Squib! That's a cracking guitar and the fact it's still here puts me off selling my old Bassmans etc just now. If I shifted them I'd buy one of these beautiful basses for sale! Hope the market improves for you.

It's the strangest market that I can ever remember for buying and selling gear and unfortunately I'm an old git and have been around a long time !! Thanks for the kind words .
Squib Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Price reduced to £1700-00 . . . . a bargain for a beautiful vintage Jazz !!
