ezbass Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 I'm off on my holidays in a short while, so in an effort to drum up some interest before I go, I'm reducing the price to a mere [b]£3,500. [/b]This is a sweetener to get things moving before I head off and I may well put it back up if there's still no serious interest.
Thor Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Looks like the perfect stablemate for my 69 Jazz! [IMG]http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p176/imperialbarge/69Jazz4.jpg[/IMG] EZ's a really nice guy to deal with too, and his coffee is lush too! I'm really tempted by this...:-/

ezbass Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 Look into my eyes (electronically speaking), it's the weekend and you are suddenly overcome with the need for a vintage P Bass, yes, yes this is the one you want

ezbass Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Time to get all your Pre CBS GAS juices flowing again
mart3442 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) On the subject of refinishes, most early '60's custom colour Fenders had white primer. (Although a few genuine original Strats with gray primer have surfaced). Also, there would be an upainted area in the neck pocket were the body was hung from a tube during painting, this system came in sometime in 1963....Anyhow, a much better refinish than my '71 J, what a mess, painted the control cavity, pots and all! Having been lucky enough to have had 1960 and 1962 P basses for a while, yours looks like a beauty. Best of luck, wish I had the money... Mart. Edited October 9, 2015 by mart3442
ezbass Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 I was playing this yesterday (it's been a while) man alive the tone so huge! Bump for sonic awesomeness.
Squib Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Apologies if anyone's already mentioned this , but the body of the bass looks suspiciously like ash to me rather than alder ? I had a a 63 P bass a few years back that was a pretty rare factory ordered ash/blonde . . .( and was an amazing bass ! ) Yours could well be one of those rare ash / blondes too . . . that's had a dusting of white at some point maybe ( it's easier to do than blonde ? ) Anyway , thought I'd give you my two pennyworth , as I'm sure you're in need of more opinions rather than sales !?! Good luck , looks like a lovely bass .
ezbass Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 You may be correct, with something this old and road worn it's hard to tell. But if it is a rare swamp ash body....BOOM! Price increase! Yours for £5k Nah, just kidding. I'll be satisfied with the current asking price. All I know is that it sounds huge and the neck is a joy to play. Having been using my 4003 for some time now, the P's neck feels really small by comparison, a very shallow C as opposed the Ric's chunky D shape.
ezbass Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Bump for a bass that gets a lot of love (see above).
ezbass Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Having just tried to organise fully insured delivery of another of my basses and failing miserably, I can confirm that this is pick up from Ez Towers or meeting at a mutually acceptable half way point only. This probably best given the nature of the wear, which I know isn't to everyone's taste, even if it is genuine, under the hand wear.
ezbass Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Give this bass a new home for Christmas [/font][/color]
