wateroftyne Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 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: [url="http://www.jollybeggars.co.uk/bass/"]You can see more on this page[/url] - it's the one at the top. These pics were taken before the neck was restored to it's former glory. This is what it looks like now: I'd only be interested in some sort of trade involving a Jazz... preferably of similar era, but.. let's talk.
cd_david Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Hi Michael What about a REAL 75? Might be persuaded to part with it Dave

Beedster Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Crikey, WoT letting a vintage Precision go? Suddenly the World seems different; things I'd taken for granted no longer hold true, a new order etc etc. This is kinda like Dylan going electric

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.
Marcus Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 LOL..... yeah can see that one coming !!! But can you imagine a Jazz strung up with rounds snarling and biting through those Bergs !! Lush !
