OutToPlayJazz Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 [quote name='OldGit' post='621126' date='Oct 8 2009, 10:54 PM']Looks like this used to in 1959.. switch included [/quote] Apart from the fact that they didn't make jazz basses in 1959. The first jazzes came out in 1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the page & said to myself, "It's a 62 Reissue Stack-Knob - Must resist! Must resist!" Having played Peter's American Vintage P, I know how good these are now. Proof indeed that a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove the neck you can see Leo Fender's signature and because it's a prototype it has various bits that are not standard. For example, underneath the pickguard they installed what was tantamount to a fuzzbox but it was very primitive - a couple of resistors that cut the signal in half and fouled it up. It had a switch on it and when you tried to cut the roughness out it wouldn't cut out properly, so I took it out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Played Herbie's bass (yes, he did let me). It's nice. Plays like a bag of nails mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
