its a lovely thing indeed.

Well you should know I'm real - I bought your Fodera 🙂 But yes I will post some more.

This is my 100% Original 1962 transition Factory white 3 pot slab board jazz bass. Its a very rare beast indeed because it was one of the first custom colour 3 pot jazz bases to be made in April 62 from stack pot stock. There are far fewer of these than any stackpot you could find. In so far as I know I'm the second owner. It's also 100% complete including the original mutes, chrome covers, and original brown hard shell case. The case has one broken latch, and has had two additional latches installed at one time, although one of the additional latches was removed. This authentic '62 Jazz Bass looks AMAZING with the consistent play wear of only one player since it was purchased new. There are nicks + dings, finish checking, and other cosmetic wear including finish worn from the back of the neck giving it a nice smooth feel. The bass itself is structurally sound with no cracks, breaks, or repairs. All electronics work and sound great as all solder joints remain original and untampered with. The pickguard is intact and appears to have never been removed. The weight is 9 lbs 7.4 If I had to characterise this bass I would use the term funk-monster. It plays effortlessly and super fast. The tone is thick and full of rich harmonics. Its been valued at £25k by ATB but I'm open to sensible offers. If it doesn't sell here - that's where it will be going for sale. I purchased it some years ago from Olivia's Vintage in the US. The original ad is still available and has lots of pictures. https://www.oliviasvintageguitars.com/bass/guitars/5725 I'm looking for a UK sale if I can get it - but Europe is fine. This baby is not going in the post so a handover in person.

You tell me.......................... its a fantastic player too. I prefer the tone of the 79 to the earlier bases for fretless. I think they are the equivalent of a 59-60 p bass to the 57 if you ask me. its the precise moment they got it just right.

Feeler for serious buyers. This is my August 1960 Fender Jazz Bass. It is all genuine and in good order, Pots, pickups and solder joints are are undisturbed. Includes the original case in excellent condition. I bought this from the US some years back and I can tell you its one of the best playing basses I have ever laid hands on. She has been on flats all her life so the frets are in great condition. She comes complete with her original ashtrays in excellent condition and a full set of mutes. Sadly it is time to let her go. No trades, no kidneys, no children please.

Bargain.

Hi Goran myes noted I know you have the B524. I played on over in YJ's workshop - outstanding instruments. He had on hollow boody left - I was so - tempted. As for the pre CBS yes its true they are different. My 66 was sweet and aggressove but the neck was not great. I've playes a couple of amazing 66's tho

I had a 66 and I have a 62 jazz. My Moollon is darker ( less bright harmonics) then my 66 was, a little less output than my 62. It has warmer tones of the pre CBS basses. It's more stable less 'quirky' than the early fenders. If there was such a thing I would call it a 'recording quality' pre CBS. Its very organic and the feel is really natural. It doesn't smack you in the face and sits in the mix better than any J I have had. It's oddly more like a p than a J in that regard but it has all that J tone. Mine is a 5 so a little different. If I wanted 4 I'd have had this by now. I don't know if this is a 60's or 70s bridge position but for £1850 ..... enough said.

The only reason this is still here is that enough people just haven't played one yet.... this is a steal.. I have one with one, & on the way. Hands down the best pre cbs tone without selling a kidney.

That'll be your bass then....

That is just a thing of loveliness.....

That's a lot of bass for the money!

Ohhhh, that makes my teeth itch.........
