Up for sale is a vintage 1974 Fender Jazz Bass neck pickup, made in the USA during the CBS era. This is the real vintage piece—not a modern Pure Vintage ’74 reissue—and is an excellent candidate for restoring a period Jazz Bass.
The pickup currently gives a healthy 7.75KΩ resistance reading, confirming electrical continuity at the time of testing. Period original 1974 Jazz Bass pickups are documented with gray fiberboard bobbins, and surviving original examples show readings in the same general range, although individual vintage pickups naturally vary.

✨ Condition
Very Good Vintage Condition
The pickup shows normal signs of approximately 50 years of age and previous installation, including possible scratches, oxidation, solder residue, lead-wire aging, and natural patina.
Most importantly, it currently provides a healthy 7.75KΩ reading.
⚠️ For maximum collector value, the bobbin markings/date stamps, lead wires, solder joints, coil windings, pole pieces, and pickup cover should be inspected closely. I would not claim original windings or untouched solder unless those details have been verified.
