Now on the 'bay.. '73 Precision...

Hi all

A combination of too much sun, boredom, not enough gigs, and a big hole in my heart where my '73 Jazz used to be have given my the crazy idea of offering my maple '73P for trade.

It's a great bass.. changed bits are:

Pickup is original but was DOA... Mr. Wizard rewound it. Neck (but not the headstock face) had been lacquered in something yellowy by some bright spark - Dave Wilson (Overwater & Stefan Sobell genius) restored it with the correct laquer. Neck back & front is now paler than the headstock face, as it should be. Comes with generic hard case - ashtrays are repros.

Umm.. that's it. It's a great bass - just as good as my '72, and it's 50/50 which one I pull out for a gig. It's a lovely 8.5lbs.. and it sounds exactly like you would hope:

I'd only be interested in some sort of trade involving a Jazz... preferably of similar era, but.. let's talk.

What about a REAL 75?



Might be persuaded to part with it :)

Oh my that Jazz is lovely and would be a perfect partner for my '73 Precision!

or Warwickhunt selling all his Warwicks :rolleyes:

Don't get too excited, sonny Jim.

IF - and it's a big if - I do get a J, I'll do what I always do with em...

...run the neck pup solo'd and grumble to myself that it doesn't sound enough like a P. :rolleyes:
