A sunburst 65 sold on NZ trade me recently for $5800. One owner for the last 35 years. It was quite worn across the back pickup due to some pick action but still extraordinary value.

I would love it, but its a little out of my price range / too valuable to play out I have to make do with this.... my 80's jap 62 reissue. These had necks made by a japanese violin maker Atlansia. They a just like Fullerton originals, with a curved thick rosewood finger board.This is my main bass, so much better than an American std!!!! Find one and you will be in heaven!

Mines an 86. I bought it on ebay for £200 a couple of years ago. I quizzed the guy who sold it and he said he was selling it as it just bought an American Std he he he....... sometimes you are lucky. There are still some around for silly money if you look.

I also have a '62 reissue (same colour) from 95 with alder body the fit and finish are just the same wonderful neck and again a huge slab of curved rosewood for the fingerboard. The only problem with the later ones is they have the cheapest bridge I have ever seen and the pickups are a bit ropey ( why they did that I don't know). But this one has a badass bridge and some pickups that Andy made me at Wizard pickups which he hand wound for £70 the nutter (must be a labour of love). This is bass number 2 its just as good as the first one. I think the Fujigen-Gakki / Atlansia Fender Japans where made up until 95 the reissue ones are the ones to go for i.e 62 reissue 70 reissue as they have amazing finish alder bodies, superfast necks like the originals. Just cast your eye over fleabay they come up more often than you think. I just have to resist when they do.
