1965 Jazz Bass - Olympic White refin - SOLD £4500 Gospel Oak, London, NW3

[bakerster135]

It's with great sadness that I've decided to sell this fantastic 1965 Jazz bass, refinished in Olympic White by Joseph Kaye Guitars. 

I'm looking for £4000 for the bass. Ideally, buyer to collect from London NW3, but happy to package for courier collection if buyer arranges.

Unfortunately, I will not ship outside of the UK at present.

Trade-wise, I'm interested in Wal, US Lakland, US Spector, nice precision-type basses, or those basses that start with R which no-one mentions around here...

Hopefully the photos will demonstrate its beauty, but the low-down on what's non-original/original below:

Non-original

• Olympic white nitro body and headstock refinish, nicely checked with mild relicing
• Reproduction headstock decal
• Replacement bone nut
• Refret - frets are in great shape!
• A couple of screws here and there...

Original 

• Body
• Neck
• Tuners
• Bridge
• Pots, dating to 1965
• Grey bottom pickups with original winds 
• Tort guard with some repairs to cracks, highlighted in photos below
• Pickup covers/ashtrays
• Everything else that I've failed to remember/mention!

Also comes with a slightly battered but fully-functional case, which I believe is by Hagstrom, as the bass was imported from Sweden at some point.

Sounds absolutely killer! Really acoustically loud, and strong, thick, balanced amplified sound with a beautiful tone.

Will confirm on weight asap, but it's very light, i.e. less than 4kg.

Any other questions, just ask!
