4low Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Here goes my 67 Jazz Bass. [attachment=220632:70263-d2d1ec4f14c485814c49f9a0a311d91f.jpg][attachment=220633:70264-679abc6c1de79d430eaec178c38060d0.jpg][attachment=220635:70266-126da185ad93b8f178c90561d8b307c6.jpg] Originally Fiesta Red, she received a professional refin in nitro Shoreline Gold a few years ago in the U.S. (the owner apparently played in some Elvis revival band which explains the color choice...). Refretted by a German luthier 2 years ago. Everything else is original to my knowledge (maybe except one or two screws). Including original hard case and covers. ... and did I mention the original lollipop tuners?

Remarkably, there is no deadspots at all Neck and headstock have achieved a nice honey-colored tint over the past 49 years... also the neck binding has turned yellow. All very typical for a bass of that age. [attachment=220634:70265-ace8bfa4f4c0036707a42abd0d3cfd8c.jpg] Overall, the bass is in decent shape, with a few dings and dongs... already a few natural cracks in the refin nitro... someone must have applied too much force installing the bridge cover once, and there is a small hole next to the hole for the lower bridge cover screw. Here's your chance to get a great player in a spectacular color, before she turns 50 at the end of the year...! The bass is located near Munich, Germany. You are welcome by and test-drive. Insured shipping at buyer's expense. No trades, unless you have something like a CS Sean Hurley Signature or similar... Edited February 23, 2017 by 4low

Brother Jones Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Woof. If only this had come either six months ago, or six months from now. Your photos come up very small btw, and the bass clearly needs better.... Edited June 4, 2016 by Brother Jones
4low Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) ...the bass is still here... lots of "tire kickers"... some real interest... but no one has pulled the trigger yet... Unfortunately, I have to raise my price to 3650 £ to accomodate for the weak exchange rate, in order to get back to the same level of what I am asking in Germany. (in case you didn't bother to get out and vote against Brexit... this is a good moment to regret...) PS: I will try to upload better pictures... thanks for the hint! Edited November 3, 2016 by 4low
