The Bass Doc Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Absolutely gorgeous bass. Merry Christmas and a prosperous 1993 from all at the Alzheimers Club.
wateroftyne Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Lovely, lovely bass, and Mr. Bluesine is a delightful chap to do business with...
slobluesine Posted February 5, 2010 Author Posted February 5, 2010 c'mon you want this WOT, i know you do
niceguyhomer Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Something historical to make us hysterical...there's lovely.
xilddx Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Wow, about seven weeks older than me. It is in my colours, looks totally beautiful! 'fraid it's no go for me, unless you fancy a straight swap with a Corvette $$. Have a think about it and let me know.

The back of the neck is amazing. The most beautiful flame ever. Weighs nothing, and just has fat tone. Really fat. Give the tone knob a twist and great zing. The Yardstick for all Jazz Basses.

xilddx Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 [quote name='alanbass1' post='752349' date='Feb 20 2010, 11:32 PM']Shame about the refinish.[/quote] See, this is the problem right, there is a lot of bullshit talked about old Fenders. If it plays like Andy says it does, it's worth the money, or thereabouts, to a real bass player, refin or not. For £2000 you can get yourself an early '70s three bolt with more problems than your local alky. Massive hand routed neck sockets for instance, because they pressed the neck adjuster disk badly. baseball bat necks, crap fretscales. I'm thinking this might be the business, but the refin crowd will shout it down to two-five. Who knows?

gerryk Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 That's a beauty! I'm the happy keeper one as well, though not as nice looking as yours. It's originally red - same as headstock - but my older brother (he bought it S/H in '60s), thought red was yuck, and in teenage impulse sprayed it black; amateur cellulose paint job by local pal in factory sprayshop! Little did he know what he was doing... BTW, the Strat is property of another brother, '65/66 ( various parts different dates, as usual!), but it's L series so pre-CBS apparently. They're both beautiful instruments. The Jazz has flats on, and has a really unique (to the era) sound, that never fails to impress in studio. Best of luck with sale, it's definitely worth that kind of money, from all of the research I've done on various vintage sites and fora. [attachment=45096:TwoOldBuddies.jpg]
