No. 8 Wire Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253081842406 Is this a genuine 78 fender jazz? I'm no expert at all but the headstock looks slightly too new, and the truss rod bullet looks wrong. Fake or worth a flutter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero71 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Looks legit to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What's the story with that trussrod bullet though? Did fender make ones like that, or is it some kind of extension? It looks from the pictures like it doesn't have the recess like a fender neck normally has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero71 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 From '75 on Fender started using bullet trussrods on jazz basses untill I believe end 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Cheers, it just doesn't look like others for sale I've seen for the same period. Ie looks too big and fills the bullet recess completely, but it's probably just a replacement truss rod nut I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Hate it when that happens. It wasn't me by the way. Don't worry though, when someone realises how much it costs to get to the island in August it may be back up for sale...
