The '5' in the date code doesn't mean the 5th of November - '5' is the model code for a Precision. So that neck code translates as: Precision Bass - made in November of 1964 - C width. Mmmm...Lovely bass! Have a bump! [/quote] Whew! Thanks man. Luckily I read this post just before I sold all the furniture!

5th November is my birthday. Why did you have to post this! Now if it had been 5th November 1957 that would have been my date of birth and I would have had to do something drastic to acquire this bass. All the best with the sale.

[quote name='uke' post='1166505' date='Mar 18 2011, 12:01 AM']Hi, do you know this originally had the one piece scratchplate/control plate ? That's what all those extra holes were for! (used to have one)![/quote] Not necessarily. From 83 to 85 it was a time of transition. Inventories from previously produced models were used in some new instruments during this time. This Jazz may not have had a one-piece pickguard fitted originally, although the extra holes may suggest that this was the case. Anyway, it's a cracking looking bass and worthy of the asking price.

I have an 83 Precision. The quality of this era is just superb. All the best for the sale!

[quote name='Shonks' post='1141343' date='Feb 25 2011, 03:28 PM']hey! nothing wrong with a mex P bass!! better than the SUBs IMO [/quote] Glad you added IMO. I would say the opposite. The MIM P bass ain't even close to a SUB. IMO of course.

Not at the moment. I've only been up in Keith for 9 months and am still settling into my new post and the community. Although my son (guitar player) and I are looking to get something going in the not-too-distant future. All the best with the SUB sale!

I have the twin of this bass. I can't believe it's still here at this price. Edit: I've just noticed it's red and not black like mine. Makes no difference to it being a raging bargain.

Do you have the original bridge?

I'm afraid that you will have to post up a price for this bass. As a newbie you may not be aware of the forum rule which states that you have to name a price. All the best with the sale!

It might be an idea to let people know where you live if this is a collection only item. All the best with the sale of a very nice bass.

[quote name='pandathe3' post='1070197' date='Dec 27 2010, 03:33 PM']Ive always wanted a SUB and glad i looked through the 10 pages to find this Definitley changing the guard on this haha! I saw the graphite body in a shop when i first started bass as a kid and remember drooling over the bass! Hopefully he gets back to me soon shall have to send a PM! Think ive already made a decision, hopefully still for sale![/quote] Good man! I also changed the guard on mine. I put on a black guard and was well pleased. On that nice blue finish a number of guards would look fantastic. Believe it or not I also had a stingray but preferred the SUB. The stingray was sold and I still have the SUB! All the best.

[quote name='pandathe3' post='1069994' date='Dec 27 2010, 11:09 AM']It really is! Im very tempted! Ive got a ray34 sitting in a shop with my name on it, but it plays like a bag of sh-t. So if for some reason its a dud or cant compete on the price of this. I'll be in touch very soon, just after the new year probably! (im just waiting for the guy at the music shop too attempt a setup!) Cheers, oh and its my favourite colour [/quote] Cancel the ray34 and buy the SUB. The SUB is a great bass and one of the best value basses money can buy. It's more of a Stingray than the 34 IMHO. After all, the SUB was built in the EB factory alongside its more expensive cousin. I also suspect that the SUB will become a bit of a cult bass in the future in the same way that the SG and Les Paul juniors did in the guitar world. It's a no-contest decision in my book. You already have doubts about the ray34 - go for the SUB!
