Description
What makes this bass special: Significant changes were afoot in 1974 for the Jazz Bass. The bridge pickup had been moved about half an inch closer to the bridge only the year before, and 1974 saw the last of the four-bolt necks for quite a while. Further, the slim "C"-shaped maple neck was re-sculpted with a meatier U-shaped profile, white fingerboard binding & pearl block inlays made their first appearance. Professionally inspected & set up so it's ready for action straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent condition overall - a few minor nicks, dents & dings; mild surface scratches.
Neck: U-shaped maple neck with white binding & black side-dots. Maple fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. Frets are in great shape with no wear. Fender open-back tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 1/2" nut width; 34" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Contoured, solid alder body in Black finish. Top-loading bridge with four adjustable "barrel" saddles & 3-ply white pickguard still has the plastic wrap over it. Bass weighs 10.4 lbs.
Electronics: American Vintage '74 Jazz bass single-coils. Dual volume & master tone controls. All electronics are in perfect working condition.
