BassAgent Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 [quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1504264866' post='3363757'] This one moved from Hoxton Street to my place just yesterday [url="https://flic.kr/p/YhxRL2"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/X48gzP"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/X48eZp"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/Y2qhYE"][/url] [/quote] Quoted for new page. That is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing. I once played a '55 so I can imagine how it sounds. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once played a '55 so I can imagine how it sounds. Fantastic. [/quote] Thanks! It really is an amazing bass. Surely not a bargain, but worth the price IME. It sounds and feels great. It's got growl and punch and very vivid midrange tones and rich harmonic overtones. I don't mind that flagpole of a neck at all, it actually fits quite nicely in the hand. The neck is absolutely straight. I can set the action to 2mm (measured at last fret) and could even go lower without any buzz above the 12th fret. The neck has been perfect the last 60 years so I'm quite confident it's not going to warp, twist or hump for the next 60 years. The fact that the finish is in very good condition and the bass is 100% original including the case makes it even more lovable (and valuable, too). And that one piece ash body is just beautiful.

Rick's Fine '52 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Quiet morning, so thought I'd dust off some of the gear, and give them a spin, here's a bunch of my '61 stuff, and their various bits of case candy.

Probably the nicest bass I've ever played, I've only seen one other, and after playing this one, just fell in love. Ye gods. that is perfect. I suspect I'm about £10,000 short of being able to ever have one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matching headstock 63 looks fantastic. Just the right amount of wear . Do you still have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehandclapping Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Yes, and I use them most weeks doing a gig,turn 70 this week so I really should make an effort to sell the white one.Everytime I use the red one someone comes up and asks me about it that has never happened before with any bass and I have been playing over 50 years.People lined up for the red one but it’s not going😃 Edited September 5, 2018 by onehandclapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyR Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 By coincidence, onehandclapping, I have some similar jazz basses ( previously posted using photo bucket so images now gone) The white one is '62, the sunburst is '64 and the CAR is '65, all with original finishes. Whether this is appropriate for this thread I am not sure, but I also have a '62 with a replaced fretless fingerboard and refinish. I much prefer older instruments to have plenty of wear. It removes the sense of responsibility for keeping them pristine, making them more likely to be used, like yours. have a great birthday !! BTW, Please add me to the list of inerested parties if you ever decide to sell your '63😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehandclapping Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) The fiesta is not for sale,the 62 white slab board is a possibility in the future. Edited February 27, 2019 by onehandclapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
