bgmttt Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) l Up for sale is my 74 jazz. All original, the neck pickup is rewound by Bare Knuckle. Solders are untouched, I cut and then re-solder the wires only (see pics). Please note: there is a small relief of the neck and you cannot make it bigger even with truss rod 100% slacked. Now the neck is perfect, straight with low action. Great sound, new Dunlop stainless strings. OHSC, all latches work. The weight is 4020 grams and this is lightest jazz from this era I ever seen. Ton of pics here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/23y3nzb7rie58kc/AAAgi21ghMyEdq-pL4p4gBsta?dl=0 Any questions are welcome. Best!

vintage 68 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi from Italy, interesting and beautiful bass, can you show me a picture of the neck relief? I don’t understand exactly what do you mean. Do you have pics of neck pocket and neck heel? best regards Roberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgmttt Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi Roberto, . Just added a few pics to the dropbox directory. About the neck relief: this is the distance between the frets and the bottom of the string when the first and the last frets are pressed. Here is a pic of my bass: As you can see, there is a hair between the neck and the strings. You can adjust the action low or high, the neck is perfect. More questions please ask! Cheers, Youlian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Great bass and Youlian is a top seller! If I didn't already have a '71 Jazz, I would be seriously interested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuba Bartczak Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 What happens when you adjust the truss rod? Is relief changed or there is no response from neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgmttt Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, Kuba Bartczak said: What happens when you adjust the truss rod? Is relief changed or there is no response from neck? The truss if fully working. The neck is straight without the support from the trussrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuba Bartczak Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 But if you use truss rod, can you make the relief bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the neck is dead straight before putting any tension in the truss rod. The truss is fully working. That's all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) This can happen with old Fenders. I had it with a 74 Tele Deluxe. It’s not a fault, but can’t be an issue if you l prefer a higher action. Edited May 10, 2022 by Burns-bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
