Kempy535 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This is a bit like one of the spot the difference games. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1969-70-Vintage-Fender-USA-Jazz-Bass-Fiesta-Red-Refinished-With-Hard-Case-/181694740126?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a4dd9b69e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've just had a quick look and I can't see anything obvious...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) That's a very long screw in the G string bridge saddle. I wouldn't fancy one in any case, so I'm guessing really! Can someone who knows about these things put us put of our misery? Edited March 22, 2015 by lowregisterhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm certainly no expert but I do own a 69 Jazz, taking the photos at face value the bass looks reasonable enough, the only thing that would make me slightly anxious would be the height of the saddles to the bridge?

mxm Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Long 'G' intonation screw is correct for 69-73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 It has lots of newish non original parts, and the neckplate serial number indent appears a bit 'thin'. The lack of proper date stamps on neck and body don't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempy535 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 The biggest for me is the dots and binding on the neck. I'm sure fender only made them in 66. No date stamps on the neck. 64 written in blue pen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Would there have been holes for ashtrays by the bridge in a 69ish Jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1427121576' post='2725969'] Would there have been holes for ashtrays by the bridge in a 69ish Jazz? [/quote]. Yes there would, and in the pickguard for the pup cover - at least mine does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
