1975 Fender Jazz
Alder Body
Maple Neck
The good:
-Approx. 8.5 lbs, very light and resonant! (especially for a 70's jazz). Great player with a great broken-in feel.
-This bass currently has Sadowsky single-coil pickups installed, which sound fantastic. I do have the original pickups (see photo). The output of the original pickups is quite low, so I'm guessing that they might need to be rewound.
-Original pots date to 1974
The not-so-good:
-The finish on the body has been stripped to bare wood.
-The bridge has one saddle replaced, the rest are original.
-I do not have the original case, pickup covers, pickguard or thumb rest. When I bought the bass, it had a replacement white pickguard which I will include.
-----
PRICE: $1750 + shipping (via fee-free payment, i.e. PayPal eCheck), or:
TRADES: Sadowsky Metros, or Sadowsky NYC/Alleva-Coppolos plus lots of cash from me. Not interested in much else, but you can PM me with other reasonable trades.

If it were a '75 it would have bullet truss rod and a 3-bolt neck plate. Also it would have the smaller "JAZZ BASS" logo on the headstock. |

The pickups and pots all have a '74 date code, but going by the serial number, it's a '75. |

| | | | Please let me know should the buyer for some reason not want the original pickups. I have a jazz bass that needs a pair from that era. Thanks!
