Hey everyone,
Another one from the Guitar Garage - my old 66 Jazz Bass - finally put together with a proper finish on the body.
This bass came to me MANY years ago with the body finish stripped, but everything else pretty much original - including the beautifully aged LPB headstock !!
I finally got around to doing a proper MATCHING LPB finish on the body to put this instrument together in all its glory.
As usual, I've written a more detailed blog post on it, which can be read
HERE.
The bass plays great - sounds great and most important - LOOKS AWESOME !!
The weight is typical for a 60's Jazz at just a little over 9 lbs.
Only a few non-original parts:
- body finish is new, obviously
- the knob for the neck volume control
- tone pot replaced with 67 tone pot (original included)
- chrome pickup shield/rest may not be original
- original wiring is spliced due to someone else's wire snipping and one ground wire replaced
My price is US $4000 - plus shipping to wherever you might be.
The bass comes in its original hardcase as well - which is in very good condition - solid but some edge tears in tolex, clean orange interior, no moldiness!
Contact me - just wanted to put this out there for Talk Bass members first - but I'll be putting it on Ebay by the end of the week if its doesn't move here.
References are available - plus a bunch of people on here know me and the work I do and instruments I sell.
cheers!!
