Quite a common speling misteak on Ebay, this one, and it always lowers the number of views an auction gets. Worth bearing in mind that once a bid's placed, the seller can't edit the auction title.

I've mailed him to find out what the reserve is.

Well it sure isn't a 1967 Jazz! A refinished 1975 Jazz maybe...
Still it is potentially a nice bass - though it would need another refin unless glitter is your thing!!

err.........????? why???

It all points to it being a 1976 model, and the colour could well be original.

Yes - you could be right Paul - Fender did indeed do a 'Black Sparkle' finish in the 1990's...
But I don't think this was available in the 70's???

good point

I was looking at a pic of a '62 in Gold Sparkle without noting it was an 80s Custom Shop reissue ...

If the serial number's genuine, it's about 1975. Three-bolt microwobble neck fixing came in in 73 - are there reissues with that on?

[wateroftyne]

It is a '75 transition. TV logo, 3-bolt neck.

The finish is 100% non-original.

It's quite funky, though...

[Hamster]

It's a '67 Jazz the same as Trigger's broom is original

What would be a fair price for it?

It's now been removed, and relisted as a '75.

My 75 Jazz with three bolt microtilt is as secure as a house. Gigged with it for the last few years, with pas de problemes!

Oh the bitter irony.

I take it you're being similarly bitterly ironic? Otherwise I'm wasting my shining wit. Or something like that...

BTW I personally wouldn't know a 67 from a 75 Jazz if I was laterally rectally probed by two of them strapped together in the shape of a Maltese cross. Just reportin' like.
