Definitely a JB62, I have two myself and both have similar features to yours (prior to being modded, at least). For some reason, despite being called a "JB62", not all the features are accurate to the early '60s. 1) The exposed grounding strip and the location of the "offset contour body" decal...

The tug bar was installed below the G string from 1960 (or as early as 1951 if you count the P Basses as well) all the way till 1974, when they started placing them above the E string as a thumbrest instead. From what I've heard, Fender shifted the position of the rests since players kept...

No screw holes for the original individual mute system, so that rules out the body being a '60 or '61. Then again, there aren't any screw holes for the tug bar either...

"I did a thing. A thing... with strings" Jokes aside, they do match the colour of your bass very nicely 🔥

I didn't know there was a brand named "Moron"...

Ikr? Japanese Fenders are the bomb 🤘 Haha thanks man 🙏 Yeah I wasn't expecting it to be that much matching, but it turned out a pleasant surprise 👍 Dude that Aerodyne is beautiful 😮 Never really thought of getting one myself, but still like the design 🔥

Thanks man 🙏 I was really worried at first that the bass wouldn't turn out great. As mentioned, I work in a guitar store, so I checked my company's inventory early on and saw that there were only two units left of this model in our warehouse, so I had one brought in a month prior just in...

Disclaimer: This is a bass I got for my dad, not for myself. Early birthday gift for him :hyper: Long story short, my dad is actually a guitarist, and there is an abundance of guitarists in his church and a severe shortage of bassists (a familar story to most of us, I'm sure), so he reverted...

Thanks man 🙏 I’m planning to have Duncan NYC pickups put in as I’m interested in having soapbar-type pickups that can be wired for different modes (series, parallel and single coil) to be as versatile as possible. Will require quite a bit of routing, naturally, but it’ll definitely be worth it...

Mine is exactly 1995, does it still count? Have yet to take updated pics since I had some of the hardware switched out; these pics are from when I first bought her a couple years back (second-hand but all original) and changed the pickguard - she came with a tort guard, and while the...

I name all of mine. I won't go through all of their names as they each have their own story/origin (detailing them all would make this post at least five times longer), just gonna share the tale of the very first one here

Mine as well

Get a wider strap, 3" or more if you need. It'll help distribute the weight better across your shoulder.

I don't really know myself, although I suspect it might be to keep all four notes consistent between natural and unnatural keys. Assuming you're keeping your instrument tuned in fourths, tuning to E, D or B gives you all natural keys (E-A-D-G, D-G-C-F and B-E-A-D), and tuning to Eb gives you...
