BassAgent Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I'd be surprised if 2 matching headstock black slab board 62s exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I doubt it is, but I’d buy that even if it was a dog to play. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I love the fact they have a page "Stuff that no one buys" on their website and that that page is empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyR Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I remember sending him an enquiry about a matching headstock fiesta red L series 1965 Jazz bass in about 2008. I had just missed it. £5000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwillett Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I know. I promised myself a 62 bass on the understanding that I'd never find one I liked. However that 62 Black one is utterly gorgeous. I keep looking at it and trying to find a form of words that I can tell the CFO as to why I've spent circa £30K on a battered piece of painted and scratched wood. Normally I'm good with words, this time I'm struggling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All looks authentic and the neck is great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
