tom1946 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) REDUCED TO £450, FREE SHIPPING. I haven't got much left now. Classic 70's Jazz bass, bought on a whim 'cos I like block necks, but as the ever fragrant Mrs Anderson keeps telling me I already have 2. She has a point. Spec' MIM The '70s saw the repositioning of the bridge pickup closer to the bridge, creating a brighter tone that cut through mixes more. The biggest cosmetic upgrade came in the form of gorgeous block inlays and neck binding, which are highly sought after by many bassists. The bullet truss rod completes the look. Seventies-era Jazz Bass guitars are widely regarded as the basses built for funk. The offset waist, ultra-slim neck and vintage-style alnico magnet Jazz Bass single-coil pickups all make this bass very comfortable and familiar.

BarnacleBob Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 That is really really nice! I do like blocks and binding! best of luck with the sale, mate BB
Jerry_B Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Oh god, it's not fair! That would be my perfect bass! I just can't afford it
MythSte Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Same model as mine and bloody beautiful. Fender hiked their prices a LOT just after these came out so your getting a bit of a deal!
thisnameistaken Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 How much for just the neck? Lovely bass.
Porkpie Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Blimey Tom, you're selling some nice basses, can't justify another Jazz style, but I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the P flower '54 I had off you in Jan, and give a bump for a top geezer to do business with. Good luck with the sale.
tom1946 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 Cheers! glad you're having fun Porkpie. I bet you get some some funny looks busking with that
merello Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Week too late - that maple job better be good! :wub:
Jerry_B Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Mustn't look at thread... mustn't cry... boo hoo...
BarnacleBob Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Someone buy this, please, before I do something I wont regret! BB
Kenny_K75 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Absolutely beautiful bass. Unfortunatly in the same situation as you... too many basses. Best of luck with the sale.
Al.B Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Block necks rule !!! That is the quintessential Jazz bass in my book. If I wasn't so skint I would rip your arm off (metaphorically speaking) for it. All the best with the sale. cheers Al.
tom1946 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks Al, couldn't agree more, I have 3 now and my wife thinks that's one too many.
