Geek99 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Oh that's just SO nice Said he in a "deeply jealous, stuck in Orlando" kind of way....
lojo Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 My YOB , and I must say looking much less road worn than me, absolutely lovely
Jebo1 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 A reasonably priced and beautifully presented vintage bass. I take my hat off to you, sir. Good luck!
Dingus Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Another absolute stunner from Si. You would probably struggle to find a much better example than this anywhere , especially for such a realistic price . If these are the caliber of basses that Si is selling, I would love to see what the keepers are like.

That is the kind of burst that all the vintage reissues are trying to recreate but never quite capture. Looks like a very dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, too, like the best vintage Fenders tend to have. .

johnthebassist Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Dear God. Ummm....this is EXACTLY what I need. Honestly, every last detail. Do you have any recordings of it online? I'd have to shift my Warwick Thumb 6, I think. Sorry, thinking out loud.

That's an amazing bass Si. I hope someone buys it soon, otherwise I'm going to have to sell a kidney... Would love to have it, could never do it justice. Edited May 16, 2014 by Simon.
viss1700 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Nice Jazz Bass, unfortunately there is a extra straplock hole, wich make the Bass less original, but it is still a beauty.
Jebo1 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 An extra hole? Christ. My 1966 jazz bass is utterly battered, but is still the best playing bass I've ever had the pleasure to own.
0353203 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 Spot the error - the bass hasn't been refretted, my mistake sorry....pics of frets / board here: [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1772_zps6591fa20.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/0353203/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1772_zps6591fa20.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1773_zps1c4897e5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/0353203/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1773_zps1c4897e5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1774_zpsd2699827.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/0353203/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1774_zpsd2699827.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1775_zps0088c5aa.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/0353203/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1775_zps0088c5aa.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1776_zps1adb85a8.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/0353203/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1776_zps1adb85a8.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1777_zpse813f389.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y474/0353203/1969%20Fender%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_1777_zpse813f389.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
