Actually I'm trying to reconcile some inconsistencies with my early 1970's Jazz Bass.

I have owned this since 1990 and always believed it to be from 1971 or 1972. Or it is a 137 = CTS pot 35 = 35 the week , 2 = 1972Look there; // Info Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USAin the Year(s): 1971Some contradiction here but nothing unusual.

Dating a Guitar to locate the year it was made - Locate the year your guitar was made to find out the possible value depending on condition.

Many vintage guitar owners value guitar dating and guitar serial number data to date their electric and acoustic guitars.

I’ll start with trying to date the instrument, but keep in mind that dating and identifying Gibson guitars typically go hand in hand.

Upper Right: Starting in 1970, Gibson began stamping “Made in USA” on the back of the headstock.

Some of those include variables such as refinished bodies or necks, replaced parts, refrets, and overall condition of the guitar.

Original and mint condition will catch the highest values for your instruments.
