1973 Crestline Jazz Bass copy with original covers, pickguard, and tuners. Not much is known about these models and they are somewhat rare, but the quality is much better than the Ibanez, Tokai, Aria et. al. that are more prevalent online. The neck, nut, and finish are all top-notch and you will not be disappointed with this bass. The build quality is very solid and this NAILS the 70s Fender vibe right down to the hefty 10.6 pound weight!
So this may not be for the weak of back, but the bass is dripping with tone. The bass came to me with SD Basslines installed which I replaced with Fender Custom Shop 60s pickups and a Sprague Orange Drop cap. So, the bass is in great shape and a nice way to get into a 70s Fender style without spending the Fender bucks.
Crestlines were not issued serial numbers, so dating is a chore, but they were only around for the first part of the 70s. I was told it was a 1973, but it's all conjecture. Here is some of the available online info:

And let's let the pictures do the talking:
I have additional photos, if you want them just send me a PM. I'm really looking for cash, but it never hurts to offer a trade. I'm not into fives or more "modern" basses, but again, give it a try.
