Burgundy mist would be a no brainer for me. Would even buy it if I didn't play bass..

Looks like it could be a very fun but big sounding bass. Imo it looks great already. I'll probably buy one as I have no shorty

Yamaha JB600R Pretty rare Yamaha Jazz Bass, made in 1984. It's a good build quality instrument, with a great jazz bass sound and equally good playability. As you can see it's finish is a lot of Candy Apple Red. The bass is in very good condition considering it's age, with just the usual small dents,scuffs, and minor damages to the lacquer. Nothing extraordinary. Overall the bass looks pretty clean. As I actually don't play this bass much, I decided to sell her in order to gain cash for something Music Man. €735 I am based in the Netherlands. The bass can be picked up or I can ship at buyers risk and expense. Payment in cash, through PayPal friends or banktransfer. As for trades I am mainly interested in a Music Man Stingray 4/5 with lacquered neck (like early '90s). Further a 70s/80s sabre with rosewood fretboard or Fender Flea active.. I've got 4 basses and other stuff up for sale, so could offer a combination of items for trade.

I think it has more to do with it being a usual part of the determination of the age, if it affects value a bit. Besides the stamps are usually there and part of the legacy I don't think these stamps are key in authentication as they are the most easy aspect of the neck to imitate.

Maybe just a random cheeky hate message like "Elderly Suck"... Entered special is mentioned a lot indeed, but me too think it's a bit too common to be all exhibition models. Maybe it's a quality control stamp, that they'd like to have tracable after the instrument had been finished. Funny that none seems to know for sure..

Ibanez ATK300 Review (the famous Stingray Killer?)
SurroundedByManatees replied to Rib13Bass's topic in Bass Guitars
I like ATK's. They are definitely a cheap alternative to a Stingray. They come pretty close imo. The best one I've played was a Japanese 305, I wouldn't mind having another 🙂 The status of "stingray-killer" is usually mentioned by sellers, just because they've read it somewhere and think it sounds good I guess. There is no reason why they would make a Stingray feel sad.... -

Early 1966 Fender Jazz Bass Kind of a reluctant sale. But as my band quit, and with no foreseeable future band activities, I've decided to see if there is a reasonable interest in my Fender Jazz. First things first: the body (beautiful burst) originates from another bass from the same era that dates back to week 12 of 1966 (dating through potcodes), the rest of the bass dates to week 5 (week visible on the tone pot) of 1966. They are so close in dating that they practically could have been together when they left the factory. You wouldn't know if I didn't tell :). The neck is stamped december 1965. Pickups are original grey bottoms (undated). The body was swapped because of it's very low weight. As you can see there is a lot of playwear all around. The body has dents, checking and scratches everywhere, as well as parts of the lacquer worn away. All just honest playwear and no fake relic. The neck has a great satin feel as the finish has worn away. It's also noticably thinner than a few other '65/'66 necks I've laid my hands on. Very comfy. I've had the neck refretted last year with correct vintage size frets. All hardware and electronica function like they should. The capacitor on the tonepot gives a nice middy sound instead of wool. That's especially great with the bridge pickup solood imo. Original pickup covers are present. The bridge cover has quite some oxidation on the inside. The bass is strung with a La Bella 43-104 set of flats. I'll include a good quality Fame hardcase. Like I said I have double feelings about selling this bass, as it's really a dream bass and is definitely the nicest old Fender I've played. But I'll be just playing at home mainly, for the next few years at least... For that cause I'd like to buy a humbucker equipped bass (RHCP play along) without spending new money or accumulating more stuff.. Asking €7.750 Partial trades are negotiable. I am mainly interested in: Music Man Stingray with lacquered neck and maple fretboard (like early '90s), Music Man Sabre (Pre-EB preferred, neck must be good and allow low action), Modulus Flea, Fender Flea active, cheaper type of Alembic, decent 5 string with narrow spacing, maybe a mustang bass or even a nice electric guitar (strat or other Fender type model preferred)...... Otherwise; surprise me. I am located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am happy to ship (to be arranged by me or the buyer) at buyers risk and expense. Payment through bank transfer or PayPal family and friends. Please note that I will not travel to bring this bass to your country, and I will not send this to a any buyer without receiving a payment first.

Nice to see such a beautiful selection of different years. Now tell us about the differences 🙂. Are they much different sounding? Is there a big variety in neck profiles?
-
I've seen this guy actually raising prices that had been for sale for years already... He is patiënt at the least. Sad that almost nothing is reasonably priced, as he has some great stuff in stock. Personally I'd never buy anything from his shop, as his communication skills (read friendliness towards potential customers) are not his strongest talent..

The one that beats them all😂. It's a good looking refinish, though for a '66 there should be a more pronounced yellow color applied.

Ive bought a bass from Andy once, and there was indeed some space for negotiation. A second time I was interested to buy one, there was no negotiation possible on the price. So your "friend" could just give it a try 🤠

I ended up buying this Fender Bassman Twelve: Not exactly what I was looking for in first instance, but I'm glad I did. Of course it sounds different than Ampeg, but it's a really great sounding amp with some pleasant grit. The 12" sounds tight in my living room, without shaking everything from the shelves. This amp can still be pretty loud though, I'm confident that it's 150 watts will be enough for rehearsals and smaller gigs, in case I'll be playing out again in the future. For Ampeg-like simulation purposes I will use one of those pedals.
-
Seems kind of correct. I was wondering the same about late '70s Fenders just yesterday. One person lists one way overpriced on reverb, and the rest will take this as a reference. Which results in a lot late '70s Fenders listed at around €3.5k or some even a good bit higher.

Thanks for the suggestions✌️ The amp sounds good at low levels, that's not a problem. It's just a big set with too much speaker surface (I think) for my living room. Even at low levels there is rattling of stuff everywhere. Of course I could go with a smaller cab, but the head is pretty huge and already sticks out on both sides of the 410. The V4B a great amp in very good shape, so in that light I should probably keep it. On the other hand it probably won't be used in the next years, and I still have a nice Peavey T-Max too. I could juice that amp up with some kind of Ampeg simulation pedal maybe...
