There is the usual ski jump that 90% of the late 60's/early 70's Jazz Basses suffer from. But it's not too bad. With the action set to my liking, there is some fret buzz on the A string in the 18th and 19th fret, that's it. And to be honest: who plays up there? I don't. Most of all, this bass sounds fantstic. Very even tone all across the fretboard, it's got clarity and growl, the sustain is great, and there's no noticeable dead spots! Seriously, this is one of the good ones. Quote

So many people don’t have a good word to say about the 70’s jazz basses, I personally think they are a great piece of history and when you get a good one like yours it’s definitely worth keeping and enjoying 😀. Alain m on YouTube had a lovely 74 jb which I just missed out on buying a few years ago Quote
