As the title says, it is a 1972 jazz bass. I replaced the bridge, pups, and added a drop D tuner but I have all of the original parts. It also comes with what I think is the original case, although that is not in the greatest shape. $2100.00 shipped. http://gallery.me.com/glocke12#100154 serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 678 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 3:52 am:    if you were to re-install all the origional parts & pickups this puppy would easly fetch up to $4,500 or slightly more on the EBay you know!...........that is if no one here snatch's it up first! glocke Senior Member Username: glocke Post Number: 685 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 5:40 am:    hmmm...thanks Kevin. The only thing that is not orginal is one of the pots....plus i think the pup cavity has been routed to accomadate the EMG's. As far as ebay, I dont think I can use ebay. I tried listing my phil jones suitcase over the weekend and was told I couldnt do so without an active paypal account...and due to some fraud i experienced earlier I no longer do paypal. In any case, I guess the sale is on hold until I can research this furthur! serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 679 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 5:46 am:    yep i would cause old fenders are Golden (worth thousands)for lots of musicians & you can always get an old origional pot re-installed......just dont tell the buyer!......do this look up old fenders on ebay & see what the highest prices are then start you bidding from there. dluxe Member Username: dluxe Post Number: 69 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 6:54 am:    Is the Badass bridge countersunk into the body or just sitting on top of it? glocke Senior Member Username: glocke Post Number: 686 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Monday, March 01, 2010 - 7:46 am:    badass bridge is just sitting on top. glocke Senior Member Username: glocke Post Number: 687 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 02, 2010 - 3:02 am:    also, just as FYI I said the pup cavities had been routed, they have not. That was a typo, I meant to say that I think the control cavity may have been routed to accomadate the batteries for the EMG's, although i am not certain of this. serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 681 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 02, 2010 - 4:12 am:    well then those might be passive EMGs unless the batteries have been routed under the pickguard cover like on my jazz bass........this 1972 jazz bass below is going for $5,000 with no bids!

For that? Sorry, it may be a rare bird, but it's not that rare. My '73 with black blocks/binding is in better shape than that one, and I'd be lucky to get $3K for it, if that. Then again, who knows? The vintage market really confuses me sometimes.

Easily! My old Distillate is for sale for US$4500, and that is a good price here...

Good luck! glocke Senior Member Username: glocke Post Number: 688 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2010 - 2:45 am:    Thanks kungfu....Im not sure what Im going to do at this point. Im probably not going to be able to find the time to put the original parts back in, and ebay wont let me list anything without a paypal account (I refuse to get a paypal account due to fraud experiences). Plus with ebay fees you take such a huge hit I really hate to use that service. So in light of what Ive learned here Im tempted to just say that I am open to any offers....
