keefbaker Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think I actually actively hate you right now. So er... where do you live? and where's the nearest van hire? And clothing shop that might sell balaclavas? No reason In all serious it looks wonderful, as does your 64. So jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'd say the '72 is a bit brighter and louder to my ear but I'm definitely no expert. They both have a classic Jazz Bass honk.

Mind you, I'm after an Aguilar SL 112 and I think I'm going to have to buy new now. Need it in the next six weeks! You're right though, on these vintage basses, as long as they're looked after they should appreciate in value Edited February 2, 2016 by thebassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jecklin Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I'm not a fan of fender, jazzes, sunburst, fingerboard inlays or tortoiseshell, HOWEVER that really is a handsome bass! I think it's the genuine wear that clinches it. Come up and play a gig in London so I can hear it in action Edited February 2, 2016 by Jecklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanew Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yes i understand you, thebassist 1972 JB are great. The more they have been battered all these years, the more they sound Now i take care of "her", old lady If i had to keep only one bass, it would be this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't get on with Jazz basses, but in the right hands they can sound amazing.
