99ster Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) A treat for all you vintage lovers out there... Following on from the lovely '1966 Playmate Of The Year' ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1543"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1543[/url]) - here we have her gorgeous older sister! My latest purchase - a very special 1965 L series Fender Jazz - 100% original. And clean as a whistle. Enjoy!

Sibob Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 That's beautiful!!! Where did you manage to find that? Bet it cost a pretty-penny! Nice one dude! Si Quote
Rayman Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 That's just beautiful, the perfect bass as far as I'm concerned, and the same age as me too. My "Dream" bass now is a vintage Fender, Jazz or Precision, probably a good 70's model, anything older is out of my price range. If I came into some cash, that'd be what I'd be looking for. You lucky bugger. Quote
Hamster Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Must be on the shortlist for the 2008 Basschat calender? Hamster Quote

Bet it cost a pretty-penny! Nice one dude! Si[/quote] Thanks guys! That has taken me a LONG time to find...many months of rejecting other 1965's (& other years) until I was finally offered this one. Also looked at buying some from the US - but there's no difference in the price when you add on duty, vat & shipping. And I wish I could say I got it for a bargain price - but they don't exist...there are no 'bargains' for one in this condition. So I did cost me a LOT of money.... But it's what I've alway wanted - & makes a beautiful pair with my mint 66 Precision. I may well sell my very nice '72 sunburst Jazz now...not sure how much interest that would get here? Quote
Hutton Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Many congratulations. Your patience has paid off in a big way. That is a truly magnificent example of a pre-CBS Jazz. May you have all health to enjoy it for many years to come. Edited June 11, 2007 by Hutton Quote

But both together at the same time? I don't know if I can cope with that!!! Quote

It came from France - after many months of patient searching... & VERY large dent in my bank account. My 66 Precision is probably in even better condition - basically mint. Quote

rumour6 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 What can you say...STUNNING...doesn't matter what it cost 'cause [i]you've[/i] got it....and i don't fantastic Andy Quote
acidbass Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Another simply stunning example of a bass! This is how they should look IMO! May you have many happy years of playing it! [color="#AFEEEE"][size=1]After which you'll sell it to me at a knockdown rate, as you have played it for so many years and have subsequently felt like a change.[/size][/color] Quote
Telebass Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Utterly droolworthy, but I'll take the 66 P over it, any day! Quote
