For sale | 1973 Fender Jazz Bass
I bought this one around 2010, and it’s been my main gigging bass ever since. It’s in very good cosmetic condition (I’d give it a 7–8 out of 10) and weighs 4.1 kg.
The neck is very comfortable and has a “TORRES” stamp, though I can’t make out the full date stamp. The action feels great, and the Hepcat pickups have that classic Marcus Miller-style bite when you slap. A luthier checked it over a few weeks ago.
A pickup cover is included, which I believe is original.
Mods and history
- Slightly translucent blue refinish with a matching headstock. It’s close to Cobra Blue and looks stunning in person. It was already refinished when I bought it.
- Hipshot D-tuner and Badass II bridge, both already fitted when I bought it.
- It came with a John East preamp and aftermarket pickups. I swapped those out for Hepcat Jazz Bass ’72 pickups and fitted Allparts pots and hardware.
- There’s a hole for a side-mounted jack and a battery compartment on the back. Both were already there when I bought it.
Feel free to PM me with any questions or if you’d like full-resolution photos. Reverb really compresses them!
