What type of flats on it? Nice bass!

WillieB · #3 10-03-2010, 03:13 PM

Hi Andy man ....to tell the truth I can't remember ... red cloth on the ends.

AndyMan · #4 10-03-2010, 03:50 PM

TI or Rotosound--are they loose/flabby or very stiff?

WillieB · #5 10-03-2010, 03:59 PM

they aren't TI's ... they are either roto or d'addario they aren't flabby

Nice bass. What's the body wood?

WillieB · #11 10-12-2010, 10:23 AM

I believe it is Alder ... nice and light.

WillieB · #12 10-18-2010, 09:42 AM

decided to keep this one for now.

WillieB · #13 01-04-2011, 04:32 AM

Ok this one is back on the block. I'll post more pics soon.

great looking bass, body wood on these would be Ash.. the American Reissues are, IMO, the best real Fenders in production today.

red wrapings could be Lakland flats I believe.
if it's of any help - TIs and Rotos have wrapings on the ball end as well.

WillieB · #15 01-04-2011, 06:25 AM

Thanks Air Leech

I believe they are roto flats ... red wrapping both ends.
I've seen doc that the body is ash .... its the lightest ash body I've
ever felt if that's true. My unreliable bathroom scale says 7.5lbs ... can't be right.
My bassOmatic fish scale puts it between 7.5 - 8.5lbs ... I'm gonna say
8 - 8.5lbs

Wow. Super deal bump.

Interested in trading for my Fender 62 AV RI?

WillieB · #18 01-04-2011, 08:51 AM

thanks for the offer ... just looking for a sale now.
nice looking jazz.

GeneralElectric · #19 01-04-2011, 09:01 AM

Its not ash, you were right the first time. Ash ones are only for the blonde finish. Sunbursts are alder.

This is a good deal though and its got the raised pole pieces. One of my favorite Fender pickups and they literally don't make'em like this anymore. The new ones have the same pickups as the 62RI.

thanks GE you do bring good things to life !
