I think this is an absolute beauty. At, say, half the price shown here I'd have hit the BiN button already. But £2700 for a bass which

[i][b][color="#8B0000"]has been professional restored to its original Olympic White color (body + headstock refinished in nitro), original finish remained in cavities. Most parts are original, except frets, pots and some screws. Chrome covers + thumbrest are newer Fender parts[/color][/b][/i]

seems way too high to me.

Am I completely out of touch with the market, or is the vendor having a punt?

i am no fender expert by any means, but im sure many would agree with me if i say £2700 is at least a grand too much...

A refinished bass with some original parts? I don't know a great deal about vintage Fender values but that seems absurdly optimistic.

Bloody good luck to him.

It does seem a mite high-priced.
Here's an all-original '72 Jazz at Guitar Avenue priced at £2995.

Way too much, for me if your going to pay £2k plus you want ALL original.

If you're going to photograph a £3000 bass for sale purposes, why not give it a quick clean first?

No, I thought the re-fin'd Jazz was way over the top on price. Dang! She sure is purdy, though.

[Beedster]

Substantially overpriced. Buy an MIJ '75 reissue at around £750, you'll save yourself a couple of grand and likely have a better instrument

Back again, but this time at £2250.

Getting there ...
