Hey guys,

this is the second of my basses to go - I'm not gigging regularly and have weighed up for 2 years now which 2 I would let go.

With a heavy heart, I'm putting up for sale my beautiful 1974 Fender Jazz Bass in sunburst with RW board, block and bound neck and black scratchplate.

It's in beautiful condition, with literally about 2 or 3 'dings' on the body, which you can see in the photos.

When I bought it, it hadn't been played in years - my guess is that it had laid under someones bed or something as it hasn't had a hard life at all.

I mainly used it for recording and 'bigger' type gigs - not for weddings and pubs etc!

I dated the pots off the codes - week 5 of 1974.

Red ink on the bottom of the pickups appear to show 1974 and the serial number can obvs be checked also.

I've owned it once 2015.

The neck pickup wasn't working at all when I got it, so Matt at ://www.houseoftonepickups.com gave it a full set up and rewound the neck pick up back to period correct specs and wax potted - all hand wound. I have the paperwork from Matt somewhere.

She sounds absolutely mint and is a decent, comfortable weight!!

Test drives welcome with a brew provided in Wrexham.

Comes in a modern, used, Fender hard case.

I'd rather not post this due to value - at your risk!!

Surely something of this vintage needs picking up!

Sale only, no trades.

Cheers,

BITF.
