SurroundedByManatees Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Fender Jazz Bass 1970 For sale is my sunburst Fender Jazz Bass from late 1970. The pots date back to week 51, and the neck pickup dates back to 1970 too Otherwise there are no readable stamps that say anything, but it’s all consistent with 1970. The bass is in good condition considering its age. It has a few small damages and finish checking all over. But nothing significant. The only thing worth mentioning is that the last few frets have been levelled lower to compensate for a bit of ski-jump (like many of those oldies). The bass plays great with a medium low action. Soundwise it’s one of the best jazzes I’ve ever owned. It sounds warm and clear with some nice growl with both pickups on, but also does the bridge pickup snarl perfectly with the tone knob closed. Included are the original Fender branded Hagström case (very rare), the original manual, and the original purchase invoice from January 1971! With the chrome covers and thumb rest mounted, the bass weighs in at 4,4kg on my kitchen scale. The bass has been set-up with fantastic La Bella LTF flats at the moment of sale. Lowered asking price €4800 Partial trade is negotiable. Per example; stingray w/ lacquered neck (80s or early 90s), 5 string with narrower spacing, stratocaster or offset guitar.... The bass is located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but I can ship at buyers risk Edited June 27 by SurroundedByManatees 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
