There you go mate, 1971 5 string fretless [/quote]
TBH, I'd love that if I could play upright.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='737796' date='Feb 7 2010, 01:12 AM']I dunno - I expect there's a '46 [url="http://www.charliecardozo.com/web_pht_pic.jpg"]Tutmarc bass[/url] out there somewhere.

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='737609' date='Feb 6 2010, 08:53 PM']I have often considered getting a 62 P then I remember I dont have 5 grand - I have a one-string banjo the same age as me but thats not something i want to go into on this forum.

Hear hear - I'm of the same vintage myself. We didn't really have that much choice then, when you consider what was about in the seventies when I started playing...

When I've saved my pennies for a good while and I can't think of anything else I'd rather have, I'd like a 1979 Music Man. Stingray or Sabre, I'm easy. Shame I predate the Cutlass by a few months.

I was born in 1983 and have found many, many basses that I lust after:

This guy seems to have sold this bass at least 3 times, which is a bit suspicious, but I do love Vintage White:

And the ultimate- a 1983 '57 RI in Surf Green, it could only be better if they chucked in a free strap and complimentary Eva Green.

If the pound wasn't so crap against the €, I would have snapped up one of those JVs

*ahem*

My '83 Cutlass I and '83 Aria SB are both luvverly...

And I'm sure you wouldn't say no to an '83 Wal if one fell in your lap either...

OK what I should say is I haven't found any Jazzes from that year that I like.

It was a rather sweeping statement.

[farmer61]

Just found a 1961 Fender J for $35k. Sort of think that's out of my price range.

[Jarhead]

Sigh, 1994 anyone? At least it'd be less then £1000, i hope...

[ I read about a guy who's gone and bought a bass that was made the same year that he was, just because. This strikes me as an excellent idea - though I know that really I just like it because it gives me a 'reason' to buy another bass.]


Precisely, that's why I got the 61P.....

love it!

I have an Ibanez Musician that was made in my year of birth, an '83 MC924L. It's the one to the right (the left one is an '81 MC924L):
