bigmuff69 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Reluctantly having to sell my prize 65 bass V It's had a refin sometime in its life,god knows what the original finish was! I've owned her for the past 4 years,it's had a full refret and set-up last year,it's all original hardware,but the pots had been changed when I bought it,I'll try and answer any question you have to the best of my ability.sorry no trades,I need the cash.

mckendrick Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Classic. Shame about the changes. I'd have bitten your hand off at £1700 but for those. Nice refin, tho'. How 'stuck' is that Deadhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'd say that's a good price with a refin and changed pots. Where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham1945 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Same colour as mine but in a more original state. No probs stringing B to G if anyone is wondering. This is worth every penny of the original asking price, good luck with the sale. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmuff69 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Serial number--600167,I had a chat with an old timer on "strat-talk" he used to work at fender in the 60s,he remembers fender making these basses,he said its probably the last guitar Leo designed for them,everyone thought they were a bit odd in the 60s,he also told me that fender only sold a couple of hundred of them right through its production run,he said that they was stacks of bass V body that where rerouted and cut for the swinger/maverick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
