I’m told this is a 50[sup]th[/sup] anniversary model (although I don’t know what difference that makes)[/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]It has all the original case candy including the string mutes and bridge/pickup covers that have never been used. [/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]Considering its over 20 years old, the condition is exceptional, almost as new.[/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]There are a few very light scratches in the Nitro finish lacquer and a few very small knocks on the end of the head-stock.[/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]Weight is 9.2 lbs[/font][/size] [i][color=#515251][font=Verdana, sans-serif]Model Name: U.S. Vintage ‘62 Jazz Bass®[/font][/color] Model Number: 019-0209-(3-Color Sunburst) Series: U.S. Vintage Series Body: Alder Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood (7.25” Radius/184 mm) Frets: 20 Scale Length: 34” (864 mm) Nut: 1.50” (38 mm) Hardware: Nickel Machine Heads: Vintage Style Bridge: Vintage J-Bass Pickguard: Tortoise Shell, [color=#515251][font=Verdana, sans-serif]Pickups: Vintage 60’s Jazz Style Single Coils (Neck & Bridge)[/font][/color][/i] More photos here (hopefully) [url="http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/simontdo/basses/62%20jazz/story"]http://s1104.photobu...62%20jazz/story[/url] [size=4][font=Arial, sans-serif]It comes with a non-original Thomann vintage tweed case.[/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]I haven't bought or sold much over the year’s I’ve been on here, so don't have any feedback.

I'd imagine that would be about £25.[/font] [font=Arial, sans-serif]In terms of trades, I might be interested in older 4 string Fenders (or maybe even the little 6 string things)[/font][/size] [size=4][font=Arial, sans-serif]Thanks for looking[/font][/size] [size=4][font=Arial, sans-serif]Simon[/font][/size] Edited April 30, 2017 by simontdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has this had the control plate changed ? I always thought these all has stacked controls. The one I owned certainly did. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontdo Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 OK, I've done a bit of research on this and it would apear that the US '62 reissues are supposed to have the double stacked control knobs. As is obvious, this one hasn't. I've spoken to the lady I bought it from and she insists she bought it new at Anderson's in Guildford in '96 and has never changed it. I've taken so more photos of the back of the control plate and the neck etc. Maybe Fender ran out of stacked knob control plates in Feb'96?
