HI Mark i'm interested in regarding your post re 1973 Fender Jazz Bass > My name is Ken and i'm from Sydney AUSTRALIA i own a supposed 1973 Jazz bass 3 bolt neck 36###### serial number dating that is 1972 it has tug bar below G string its very well used but very original . I was wondering if you had done any more research . Kind regards Ken [email protected]
Hi, apologies, just saw your message. From what I've read here, the pickup and pots serial numbers are a more accurate way of dating the bass. AFAIK the 4 bolt neck preceded the 3 bolt. Perhaps you could post pics of all the serial numbers, there's some people here that could probably help. Best, Mark
