Kohpnyn Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fender Jazz Bass from 1976, judging by the serial numbers and pots. Quite a thick neck for a jazz, but very nicely worn in and plays like a dream. Have to warn that it weighs a LOT. Lovely creamy vintage microphonic pickups. Comes with case and original pickup covers! Absolutely devestated to be putting it up for sale, I love it, but am in crippling debt. Thanks for looking, feel free to message with any queries.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I got it off here I think about a year ago, I think I paid £1050. I got it off cd_david.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#1d2129]Asking for [s]£1200 [/s]£1100 [/color][/font] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]People are welcome to come test it out![/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ps: managed to get a bit of info from a previous owner: "I bought the bass when I was 18 from Backline Music in Whitley Bay. It had a replacement neck on as the original neck had the headstock break. This was included in the sale so I had it repaired.!the bass was originally Lake Placid Blue but had stars and rainbows carved into it so I had it refinished by Dave Wilson in black but with a yellowed lacquer to age it, hence the green tinge you get in light.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The neck joint is so solid. It was dowelled and a gusset was routed into the front of the break, then a veneer placed over the film face of the headstock and then a thicker 3mm I think veneer glued over the back. It's super strong and both the finish and repair are now 28 years old.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass itself didn't have a pickguard or covers when I got it but I bought some of those in the last few years I owned it.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Stupidly I sold it in 2015 to a guy down south on basschat. So I don't think it was me that pit flats on it as I don't use then and it had rounds on all its life with me.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I used to think it was a 75 although the serial number states it's a 76 and the pots are the same, however the serial number is on the neck plate which they changed to the headstock early 76. I remember chatting to someone that explained to me years ago that it was probably made at the end of the year of 75 and beginning of 76 hence the mixed info.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hope you get a sale as the bass is gorgeous and needs a home and to be played W"[/font][/color] Edited August 28, 2016 by Kohpnyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
