0353203 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Hi All, Up for sale is my practically unplayed transitional period 1965/6 Fender Jazz Bass - one or two dings and dongs but hardly a mark on it. 100% original with OHSC. Lightweight at 8.8lbs. Collector grade condition. August 65 neck date, early 66 pots, typical transitional features. Priced to sell. Cheers, Si Edited June 3, 2018 by 0353203 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilibass Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 One of the cleanest examples I've ever seen. It looks brand new. Tempted to go mad. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 That is lovely. Does tend to make you wonder why someone in Cheltenham is asking £22,000 for a clean 65 because it is a rare colour with a matching headstock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lovely jazz, at a really reasonable price. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It's a lovely guitar and very reasonably priced. I've played 65 Jazzes that are the equivalent of pre CBS basses at about half the cost. Didn't some bloke from Led Zeppelin play a 65? Apparently they were quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It was a 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 JPJ played a slab board 3-knob ‘61, same year and spec as the one Jaco modded. JPJ still has it, it rattles too, needs setting up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 No bass, no bass without the B. Hiram knows the score, he's got 'brains'. 😁 I'm an expensive date. 💲💲💲💲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
