Up for sale is here is this 1976 Fender jazz bass. Ash body, Maple fretboard with blocks and binding...ultimate 70s! The bass is in good all original condition and comes with a (non-original) tweed Fender hard case. The bass plays very nicely having recently received a full setup. It also sounds excellent, with a biting aggressive tone just like a 70’s jazz should have!

 

I have given the bass a full check over - I'm a fulltime luthier of over 15 years and any potential buyers can rest assured there are no issues with the bass. 

 

As mentioned all the hardware is original and all the dates read as they should for a 76. The only missing bits are the bridge and pickup covers. As for provenance - the bass was bought approximately 5 years ago from the The Bass Gallery in London

 

I’ve done my best to picture pretty much all of the marks to the finish on the bass, which really isn’t too much considering it’s age. I’d say it’s in better condition than a lot of 70s Fenders which come up for sale. The frets are near perfect too and have a great deal of life left in them. Truss rod works as it should also, so no work required and ready to gig!

 

Any questions feel free to ask and more pics are available on request. Cash and collection from Shropshire (near Shrewsbury) only please.

That does look nice.

 

Who's going to ask the obligatory question first? I'm not, as I'm not looking for a Jazz, but if this was a P, it would be my first question......

My YOB bass. None more 70s really. Microtilt, white blocks, black scratchplate and natural ash body. This is beautiful, and if I find the money 😆 I’ll be in touch.

If anyone is in the Bristol area this weekend and would like to try this bass out, I’m bringing it to my stand at the Bristol Guitar Show which is at Ashton Gate Stadium tomorrow (Sunday)
