'79 Fender Jazz worth $4000?
 
Seller says its in great condition. The pic is more of him than the bass however. Even with the condition grading and original receipts it seems a little bit steep.

No.

I want some of what that seller is drinking.

zortation 01-14-2013 06:18 PM

how much does he want for the shirt?

Diesel Kilgore 01-14-2013 06:20 PM

I just noticed the truss adjustment is in the headstock....did American Fenders ever come that way? Or could it be a faker?

I'm shootin' for no.

JimB52 01-14-2013 06:21 PM

Unless it was celebrity owned and an unusual color, I don't think it's worth half that.

TN WOODMAN 01-14-2013 06:21 PM

For that price for a '79 it would have to include the shirt and the hat. And probably the shoes and glasses too.

Fender used the 'bullet' truss rod at the headstock from 1975 - through 1979

I had a 78 in the same color. It's worth at most about $2,000.

Wookieonbass 01-14-2013 06:23 PM

That's the only picture?
Without any evidence prooving this is some special unique jazz bass worthy of that price, I would say no.

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up.

For 4 grand I'd get a Nordie and a Sad. Forget about this 79.

I agree. Albeit nicely creased, the trousers are nothing special, so he can keep those.

I dont understand people that post adds on Criags List sometimes. Your asking more than double the value and you can't take a few minutes to take some decent pictures.

glutah 01-14-2013 07:48 PM

Negative, a good 69 is not worth that

Beat me to it!:D

The bass might be worth $2000 if it is all original. $2500 retail at the most.... But that is really pushing it.
