BassAgent Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Alright let's not derail this thread any further (although I really enjoy all the VI talk). I'm going to take the 1970 Jazz to a gig tomorrow and the 1966 Jazz as a backup. I've never taken two vintage Jazzes to a gig (because I've always only had one) so I feel pretty fortunate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take one pill(one 74'jazz), can't stop from starting to count money every day, spotting the net for 62'jazz sales and on and on, till You......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Mark Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) On 15/07/2023 at 11:57, Reggaebass said: You got some fabulous basses there, thank you for sharing, can I ask how would you compare the 63 and 64 , is there much difference It's a horrible rainy day here so I thought I'd do a comparison of my 63 (on the left) and 64 J's. I cannot hear an output level difference between them. The 63 is wearing stainless vs nickel strings on the 64 which is evident in the slightly brighter tone of the 63. The headstock of the 63 is 14mm thick against 15mm on the 64. Otherwise the neck profiles feel the same. The body contouring of the 63 is cut very slightly deeper and feels relatively light weight for a J which is confirmed by my bathroom scales by approx half a pound at 9lb vs 9.4lbs for the 64. If these were fitted with the same strings I doubt I could tell them apart blindfolded. Edited July 22, 2023 by Sparky Mark 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
