🎸 Fender 1973 Jazz Bass – 3-Color Sunburst, Black Block Markers (Pre-Owned) Vintage tone. Iconic style. Proven pedigree.

Straight from the golden era of Fender craftsmanship, this 1973 Jazz Bass oozes character and history. Finished in classic 3-Color Sunburst with black binding and block markers, it’s a visual and sonic time capsule. Once owned by Wet Wet Wet’s bassist Graeme Clark, this instrument carries authentic playwear and undeniable stage legacy.

Built with an ash body and maple neck, it delivers the unmistakable J Bass growl—tight low-end, articulate mids, and crisp highs. Original Jazz pickups remain intact, preserving its vintage voice. Only two components have been updated over the years: a period-correct Hipshot machinehead set and a replaced jack socket. Everything else is original, including the neck stamped by “J Torres.”
