1972 Jazz Bass - Sunburst, Maple Neck £2000

[Jebo1]

I'm selling a 1972 Jazz Bass, maple neck, black blocks with original case, pickup covers and plenty of character.

The bass is all original, but has had the pickups rewound by Bare Knuckle. This gives the bass a monumentally rich sound. The bass was previously sold by Andy Baxter, and you can see the listing here.

I'll be posting some pictures of the bass shortly so you can see it's in my possession, but Andy's pictures are much better than mine. I didn't buy the bass from Andy, but picked it up from the chap who had.

The only difference between the bass then and now is that some of the paint on the horn has come off. This is typical of these 70s finishes not wearing particularly well. It's a shame, but it doesn't spoil this bass being an absolute beauty.

I'm based in Bristol and you can come and see it, play it (and I'm sure fall in love with it) if you want to. I will send it, but it would be better and safer if it was picked up. The reason for sale is that my wife is pregnant and I need the money for baby stuff, DIY, house repairs and to go toward a new car.

I wouldn't be selling otherwise.

Bass is 4.2kg in weight.

I should say I'm quite tall and am cycling more now, so hopefully that will go down!

[Jebo1]

Pictures added. I can add loads more, I'll get busy on the weekend...

Anything you might need, just PM me.

[Jebo1]

This stunning bass is still here... I don't want to sell it, but I sort of need to sell it.

That is bloomin' lovely. If I wasn't already putting money aside for another R*ck*nb*cker I'd be seriously considering it... GLWTS sir

[Jebo1]

Thanks chief! I had assumed that Andy's pictures would have been enough, I guess not.

I'll up my game this week! The bass is fantastic, playing and sounding.

So tempting 😢

[Jebo1]

It plays beautifully, and certainly benefits from he master set up Andy's chap did. Neck is beautifully thin.
