Norris Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Could you post up some pictures? Preferably leave the bass sweat-stained from when you last played it & didn't wipe it down. For the best effect, lay it down on your unmade bed for the photos. Piles of washing in the background are always a good selling point too.

BetaFunk Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 'can't send the bass or courier it as it's too fragile and could get damaged despite the fact that it was made in a factory in the far east then sent by truck a few hundred miles to a port where it was put on a big ship then delivered to a a port in europe then transported by lorry to a depot in europe then put on another lorry which crossed the Channel by ship to Dover then carried to another distribution depot then put on another lorry who delivered it to the shop where i bought it.'

[/quote] I think that the relic'd ones are made under strict quality control in a dust free atmosphere and polished to a high gloss before being attacked with an angle grinder and hammer, thrown down some concrete stairs before being chucked out of a top floor window and towed a mile behind a lorry down a dusty road before being carefully packed in bubble wrap and placed in a cardboard box with polystyrene chips to protect the instrument from any damage.

Big_Stu Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 That's no good, I wanted the one with all metal parts soaked in paint-stripper for a week & the pots nice & crackly so you have an excuse to spend even more on an upgrade.

BetaFunk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Original 1960s Jazz Bass for sale. This bass is totally original. The body was Candy Apple Red but had started to look a bit tired when i bought it so i had it stripped and had it refinished in Arctic White. The neck was warped so was replaced with one from a later Jazz Bass and a new decal applied. The pots were crackly so i got a luthier to put new ones in at the same time he replaced the pups because i didn't like the way it sounded. Now it sounds just like a Precision should sound. The pickguard was going a mint green sort of colour so i picked up a replacement on ebay. Now it's a nice shiny white colour and looks good with the new control plate and knobs fitted. With the new tuners fitted now it looks and plays great. You won't find another one like this in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle psychosis Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is this one of the early models where the guys in the factory were washing their hands with bars of soap, or one of the later models where they'd moved to liquid soap?
