walshy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Fender Jazz Bass Guitar 1966 Neck Stamped 7 Dec 66 A Original pick ups Lollipop Tuners Original Bridge Original Jack Nut width 37mm Weight 3.8kg Replacement Pots dated 1999 Replacement Capacitor Some replacement wiring Neck has been refinished and maybe the body too in Daphne/Sonic Blue The bass plays magnificently and sounds absolutely huge! The pick ups in '66 seem to have a certain oomph about them, maybe an extra wind or two! Sounds as big and barks as a P bass fully open to the smooth unctuousness of a cool funky Jazz. Honestly, THE best Jazz bass I have ever played, ever! Welcome to come and try in Hexham Northumberland but can ship. No Trades I’m afraid. More pics available if needed.

itsmedunc Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 What a beautiful bass! I'd be very sad to see that go indeed. 66 is my birth year. I had to scroll down to the pics very very slowly in the absolute hope that it wasn't Oly white. I could feel the dread of my BF FR800's going up for sale!

I like it really but I have a weird unnatural fetish for white Fenders! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boroman Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have exact the same feeling about '66 pickups. They are just "more" - more gritty, more oomph, more signal, punk stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boroman Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I actually haven't heard a j-bazz from that year, but have '66 P and '67 Mustang Bass and both have "MORE" than e.g. '60 P or later mustang basses. Anyway I love my '60 P the same as '66 - they are just different!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 OMG - Lollipops, blocks and blue. I think something has just happened in my trousers... I wish I had that sort of cash spare. GLWTS. I would have loved a trip back up to my native north east too - used to love Saturday trips to Hexham park in the summer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s a thing of beauty man and the sound is 👌. Yeah not far from the Park either, just up in Slaley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
