'79 Fender Jazz worth $4000?

Pick up 4 American Standard J's and P's instead. You'll be happier.

Or a Lakland USA Joe Osborn and an American Standard P.

You can do a lot better for $4k.

Yup but you could have this heavy 79' jazz instead.

Yeah. As a 2nd-hand owner of a '76 Jazz, it's definitely not worth nearly that much.

I didn't know that Elton John owned a Jazz bass......

It must be nice living in fantasy land... His wife (or significant other) must be making him sell it, because I don't even know where 4k would come from for that!

There should also a micro tilt adjustment at the neck plate.
