divineinventionband Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Would you trade for a 2011 custom shop Jazz bass 62 relic with stacked knobs. Sunburst with all case candy and certificate.
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Sorry to hear about your condition. I think you should hang it on the wall tbh. You've reached serious heights and standards getting this. If you have to let it go, then have a bump;)
dodgnofski Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Chaps - I think the weight is around 8.5lbs, but I'll check tomorrow.
Geek99 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Beautiful Love the natural relic, can you tell me how the abrasions on front by the top horn happen ? Curious
dodgnofski Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Thank you, it's not an abrasion - it's where the paint has 'flaked off', the bare wood is unmarked, so it could be the grain you are seeing. No idea why the paint is flaking, it' was like that when I got her
Bronner Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 This is a real Fender instrument. Very nice. When you see these in their original cases it's more than just seeing a bass, it like seeing some item that was a part of a bigger life mission. Great.

dodgnofski Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Weekend 8.4lbs - ish, type bump Edited March 29, 2015 by dodgnofski
Marc S Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Sorry to hear you've got arthritic probs mate This bass looks a stunner It will be awful to let it go But needs must.... How do you get on with slimmer necks? - Like a Jazz for instance? You may find you can play a bit longer, or a lot longer, or hopefully, the pain will go away.... As my own years advance, I now understand people when they talk about the weight of a bass, or the comfortable positioning of hands.... I couldn't afford this bass sadly, but have a free bump and don't forget to let us know if you find other instruments more comfy to play Cheers
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I see it's a feeler. You may change your mind. How long have you had it ? If it's years and years , sell something else ( the wife maybe, but not the cat). If you haven't had it very long then maybe , you should have another bump to highlight the sale
Old Man Riva Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I've pretty much the exact same bass - though the one I have hasn't got the lollipop tuners (sadly!). If it's anything like the one I own someone is going to get an amazing instrument. I own three 60s P-basses and this is my favourite - it's also the one that I've had most comments about in terms of the sound (it has a sound all of its own and the tone control works right through the range). Mine's battered to bits and the wood against the white primer Fender were using then against the worn sunburst is fabulous. And like yours, the scratchplate is the most amazing deep colour. Good luck with the sale and, as I say, if it's anything like mine someone is going to get a fabulous bass... Edited March 26, 2015 by Old Man Riva
dodgnofski Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks for the kind words Chaps Strangely I find my very old Jack Bass easiest to play for err 'longer' periods - in the words of Harry Worth - showing my age now! - 'I don't know why, but there it is' !! Then next probably the Status, so it's obviously a weight / headless thang, as they are both under 8lbs But it's 'something' spooky when I pick up and play the '68, wether it's Mojo or just my imagination - daft old bugger - it just. has 'something' ?? - Boomshanka !!
lowregisterhead Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 As a fellow arthritic old bugger, you have my sympathies... and I'm sure it's not your imagination, it has lots going on! Boomshanka indeed. I would say "May the seed of your loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman" but that would also be showing my age. Love those lollipop tuners. Good luck with the sale if you really have to part with it. Or you could just take a bit more glucosamine and cod liver oil and keep it!
Old Man Riva Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Harry Worth? I hope you don't do that 'window' thing he used to do at the start of his TV programme - hope that makes sense?! That won't help your condition at all! Edited March 29, 2015 by Old Man Riva
dodgnofski Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Ah, 'Neil' from the Young Ones !! - welcome to the Old Codgers Club !! Funnily enough, I did the Harry Worth window thing the other night !! But I can only do it with my right arm and leg these days, if I try do it with the left arm and leg - I fall over, especially on the way home from the pub!! your 'Old Codgers Club' badge is in the post !!
Geek99 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Bugger - I knew what it meant too, send my badge too please Have a free bump for a hot relic bass that I'd love to own
dodgnofski Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) A 'thank you - your badge is in the post midweek type bumperoony ' !! Edited April 1, 2015 by dodgnofski
bassadder Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 That bass looks amazing does she sound as good as she looks?
dodgnofski Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Thank you, yes she does !! and very loud - for some reason beyond my comprehension - more windings?? I got the chance to A/B these pickups against two early 70's Precisions last year with the same amp settings and the difference in volume was surprising to say the least!! To my very old cloth ears, she sounds like a 60's P should. However, the tone control has a big range compared to a lot of P's I've played over the years, as some of them didn't seem to do a lot at all. I've had to put her away in her case now - if I leave her on her stand, I can't stop picking her up for a noodle, oo- er missus, which not only stops me from getting things done, but the more I play her, the less I want to part company with her !!
bassadder Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Thanks for the info how's the truss rod ? does it work well and have adjusted recently
