This charming 1968 model, with its bound block and paddle pegs, has a look that’s right in the heart of the late ’60s—I just can’t get enough of it.

The Jazz Bass of the 1960s underwent continuous specification changes year after year.

This model dates from the very end of the paddle-peg era; starting in late 1968, a new type of peg was adopted, and the knobs were changed to a clover-shaped design.

When people think of the “Late ’60s style” that’s been recreated in recent models, this is likely the look that comes to mind for many.

The neck date on this instrument is April 1968. While there are signs of heavy use, the neck is in good condition.

There is plenty of adjustment left on the truss rod, and the original frets are about 60–70% worn.

Players with a heavy touch might notice some slight buzzing, especially in the higher registers when playing unamplified, but this shouldn’t be particularly noticeable when played through an amp.

The pickups are dated April 1968 (front) and March 1968 (bridge); neither has been rewound, so they remain original.

All the pots are dated Week 42 of 1966, which is typical for instruments from this period.

The capacitor has been replaced with a SANGAMO .02μF unit.

This was likely a modification made by a previous owner who was particular about such details.

The saddles, octave screws, and springs have been replaced, though the bridge plate itself appears to be the original.

As for other parts, there is a crack in the pickguard, but deterioration of plastic parts is an inevitable part of aging.

Since the important elements and original features have been well-preserved, nothing detracts from the guitar’s appeal.

Don’t miss out.
