'76 Jazz worth?

[busapilot911]

Just out of curiosity

I am the original owner of a 1976, Fender Jazz. Sunburst, maple/block inlay neck, black pg.

All original except stock pups replaced with Dimarzio(sp?) model J's and a brass nut.

It is in really nice shape other than some expected wear and a "ding" hear and there.

Not looking to sell, just curious.

busapilot, I have a hunch... If you post pics you'll get a real response. If you don't you probably wont.

I'll bet its a sweet bass though..

Thanks, I was beginning to wonder. I'll take some pics. I mostly play a Ibanez sr506 (actually trying to upgrade a little to something with wider spacing). The jazz is my baby, I've had since I was 10yrs old.

Dont even try to sell it

$1700ish

$1700ish

+1

My guess too.

With the original pickups (if you still have them around), nearer $2,000, I would guess .

Whatever it is, it'll be damn sight more than the original buyer payed for it , so if you don't use, I think that you should just pass it on to someone who will and be happy with the profit that you make .

original pickups and pots can easily add $800 to the total value of a vintage bass> he could be looking at $2500 easy, maybe more.

Maybe ! BTW, when I quoted your post, I'm sure it said $1,500 . Did you edit it while I was typing, or am I just getting a bit senile ?

I am the original buyer. I remember watching my parents fighting over why I needed such an expensive bass as my first. I think they paid $500 (ish) back in '77. I had the original pick-ups in a box and my basement flooded. Everything got destroyed. Fortunately, the bass always stayed upstairs with me.

I'd love to have a 76'. Not because it's vintage, just because I was born that year. Great looking geetar though!
