USED Fender / 1975 Jazz Bass Natural Maple [10]

1975 Jazbet with natural finish and maple fretboard!

The body is made of heavy ash, which is typical of this period. The cavity for the ground wire at the bottom of the bridge is a small oval, and there is no difference in age from the neck, which is described below. The body has some cracks that have been repaired, including the neck cavity on the top and the neck joint on the back. There is a group of dents on the body back contour area, and an 8cm long deep scratch on the lower left side of the body back. The lower right and lower left edges of the body back have some darkening and dripping of clear paint that may have been caused by the stand. The body also has some other large and small dings and scratches.
The neck has a crack on the first floor of the fingerboard surface that has been corrected. There is still some bulging, but there are no major problems with the current state of play. There is a neck date stamp, but it is faded and the decipherment is unknown. However, the 3-point joint, the fact that it is not the head serial number, the presence of an inspection stamp, and the serial number lead us to conclude that it was made in 1975. The nut and frets have been replaced, and the truss rod cap has been replaced. There is a paint gap on the back of the neck where the skunk stripe is, and it looks rough. There is also some clear peeling on the first floor of the back of the neck. There are some paint chips and dents around the head, and the second string peg is bent. The winder does not turn smoothly, but it can be tuned.
Both PUs are gray bobbin and the wires are dark maroon. The wiring material is also vinyl and original, but both sponges are heavily deteriorated and stuck to the back side, so we cannot confirm the dates, but we judge them to be original. The wiring connecting each pot has been done to strengthen the grounding, and the solder has made it exquisitely difficult to check the date of each pot. However, the atmosphere is the same as the three old ones, and it does not look like they have been replaced. The capacitor is original, but the pickguard has been replaced.

The neck condition is a little bit high, and the neck is a little chattering if you play the high position hard. The truss rod can be adjusted to tighten or loosen, and can still be turned to tighten. There are no string marks on the frets and about 50-60% of the strings are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.2mm on the 12F 4th string side and about 2.0mm on the 1st string side.

Overall, the neck is a little high, the fretboard surface on the first floor has been repaired, and the body is cracked, but it is still playable. It is not a perfect collectible vintage, but it is a chance for aspiring young players to get in touch with the tone of the instrument! Please give it a try! No warranty due to the above condition. Please understand that there is no warranty.

Neck condition is generally fine.
The truss rod can be adjusted in the direction of tightening or loosening, and can still be turned in the direction of tightening and adjustable.
Fretboard has about 50 to 60% remaining.
