pmjos Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Feeler for serious buyers. This is my August 1960 Fender Jazz Bass. It is all genuine and in good order, Pots, pickups and solder joints are are undisturbed. Includes the original case in excellent condition. I bought this from the US some years back and I can tell you its one of the best playing basses I have ever laid hands on. She has been on flats all her life so the frets are in great condition. She comes complete with her original ashtrays in excellent condition and a full set of mutes. Sadly it is time to let her go. No trades, no kidneys, no children please.

Mrbigstuff Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Is this the most expensive bass ever advertised here?

silverfoxnik Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Amazing to see... I feel a bit like I do walking around the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery - admiring of something of value thats beautiful, historic but sadly, way out of my league! GLWTS 👍😊 4
bootleg Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 not only is this my year of birth, but also my month of birth. I'll scare the other half with "I've found my perfect 60th birthday present". 2
KUSKU Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Buff... it's a money for a few mortals. Tremendous bass that takes away the sleep. Congratulations whoever buys it takes a piece of Leo Fender history in essence without a doubt.

lowregisterhead Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 This site has an amazing habit of bringing back old memories, often prompted by basses of yesteryear that come up for sale on here. I played a 1960 stack-knob jazz just like this one back in 1981. It was the property of prolific Edinburgh-based musician and actor Neil Hay, who I had the pleasure of meeting when I took over from him in a resident band in a Tiffany's club in Newcastle. He told me about its rarity even then and what a great bass it was, but I'm ashamed to say I was young and foolish and took very little notice, being obsessed with active Japanese basses and trying to sound like Mark King. Well, it was the 80's after all... Sadly, Neil passed away in 1994, and although this isn't his bass, I do wonder what happened to it. Did anyone on here know him? 5
Kazan Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Stunning. I had a Sept '60 (Fiesta Red) - pickguard looked just like that. Pretty specific to the early ones. 1

Can you believe that ??!! 😂 1

Stub Mandrel Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 NOT the same bass (note wear patterns) but this one (sold some time ago it seems) could be its brother! https://www.atbguitars.com/store/product/1960-fender-jazz-bass-stack-knob-ohsc-1960jb/
dodgnofski Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Bargain - apparently, compared with a couple currently for sale elsewhere....🙈🙈👍👍 ps - has the world gone mad, or am I actually even poorer than I thought I was ☹️☹️?
