Longwheelbass Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Hello Bass community UK PRICE DROP £3800 - ON HOLD FOR ONE OF OUR FINE BASS PLAYING COUSINS IN ITALY FREE SHIPPING UK. DUE TO LARGE QUOTES TO EU WHICH ARE DRIVEN UP BY SHIPPING INSURANCE I CAN NO LONGER OFFER FREE SHIPPING TO EUROPE. I WILL ENDEAVOUR TO FIND THE CHEAPEST CARRIER POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. Recently moved from Australia to the North East for a minor career change to the wind industry. Looking to offload my all original 66/67 J Bass to help finance the course fees. It's in a word, killer. 8 lbs alder body, A code neck, all nitro factory finish, original paddle tuners, block inlays, original neck shim in neck pocket, still got original chrome pickup covers, not one single solder joint has been touched, still with all original pots from the mid 66 fender bulk-buy from CTS and Stackpole (tone pot is Stackpole, original 0.02 ceramic capacitor with yellow sleeve on one leg, vol pots CTS) pickups hand dated to 10-1-67 and 19-1-67 respectively, original pickguard and thumbrest. It sounds, well you know, stunning. Original mid-late 60's no tail fender logo case, all latches intact and functioning, lining perfect. Must have been an Australian delivery - it has a winner's medallion from the 1970 NSW Battle of the bands competition set into the back of the body just below the neckplate. I'll hand deliver it anywhere between Newcastle and London - any further and it'll probably be around £50 give or take...

Mind you I’d only have it on display while I played my short scale basses and that really would be a crime. I still may need the bassbulance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longwheelbass Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) The case is genuine, late 60’s period-correct with a Fender no tail no “R” in a circle logo case with all latches and catches functioning and both case ends undamaged and with all case feet present on the bottom and back.

Higgie Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Wow! What a beautiful Jazz. If I didn't need food or a house, this would be mine! Stunning example of a vintage Fender... In fact, I'm still tempted - Just trying to work out whether it's worth being homeless and starving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
