gjones Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Crikey! Somebody's been keeping that under the bed from the day they bought it. Very pretty.

Rumple Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Blimey that's almost as old as me and in far better condition
Ou7shined Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Now this is a YOB that I'd definitely like to own... I can't see it somehow though.
jimbobothy Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 That is absolutely immense, talk about a timewarm ?

Sparky Mark Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 The condition is so good, I think you're going to need more pictures of the internals (pots, wiring etc) to authenticate that 1966 date. It's unfortunate the date on the neck is obscured by the red felt tip marking, has anyone seen this type of marking before? Doesn't seem to be in anyones interest to write over the date in this way?
Rumple Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I really don't know a lot about Fenders but I used to have a neck from a late 60's Jazz that the date was faded on and almost unreadable and it had red marker pen over it to.
Rick's Fine '52 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Bump for a very fine bass indeed, I'm very interested, but the money is a little high for me at the moment for a CBS P-Bass, top money, but then it is a top bass. Good luck.
Sparky Mark Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Precisely, it's the best condition 1966 bass most of us will ever see. As such it might even be undervalued at £3750. However, it is usual in these circumstances to have a few 'gut shots' as well as a photo of the inside of the neck pocket to back up the other evidence.
Ou7shined Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 So you gonna buy it now Sparky Mark? (btw it is against forum rules to discuss pricing in the FS threads)

(btw it is against forum rules to discuss pricing in the FS threads) [/quote] First off, mind your own business. Secondly, I've seen what these go for in Denmark Street, but once you get into vintage territory it pays to be absolutely certain of everything. This just might be a bargain....can I say that?

[/quote] I've got a '66 CAR Jazz Bass... which has that very same red marker zig-zag over the date stamp. It hasn't obscured the stamp, which is clear as day right through the marker ink. Gorgeous P Bass. Dosn't look like the truss rod has ever been touched. I don't think that thing needs the 'internals' checking to authenticate the date. The details are spot on. *drools* .

Playground_Martyr Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Had some interest but still for sale!
steve-soar Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) As a Birkonian and born in 1966 but alas left handed, please accept this bump. If it were a lefty, I would probably be giving you a call. Good luck. Steve. PS. I see you have a KGB bass, which one? Edited November 2, 2011 by steve-soar
