I'm originally from the Outer Banks but now located in Richmond, VA, I bought my 97 Pbass american deluxe from OBX music (RIP) back in 97. I'm looking for a 97 American Deluxe Jazz bass. I wonder if the one in OBX is still available. Does anyone know of one for sale. I really want one in...

Whoever bought the Fender American Deluxe Jazz if you are interested in selling please let me know. I'm in the market for a teal green metallic 97 jazz with rosewood fretboard.

Hey guys, I wanted to chime back into this. The color was Teal Green Metallic. Here is the finished product with the body being refinished.

I grew up down there.....Miss it daily. I bought my 1997 P-bass deluxe teal green metallic from outerbanks music (RIP) in September 1997. I still own it and love it very much. Those 1997 American Deluxe basses are worth keeping. Good luck with the sale but honestly keep that thing.

I emailed Randy, I'm looking forward to his response. I'm not 100% into a fully authentic restoration. I would much rather go for the improved truss rods. Very excited about what you all are capable of. Looking forward to getting this neck into your zip code. Have a great day and talk more soon!

I don't mind one bit, I love a devil's advocate. I'm a sentimental person so this would be for the romance of it. It maybe and extension of my creative process. None the less, I never sell my basses, I've only purchased 8 in my 26 years of playing. Each one has a very special sentiment. I...

I sure will, I'll post everything in this thread so everyone can follow and for future reference for anyone in the same predicament .

LOL! @Bruce Johnson, Batman I'm sorry for the recent cape rips and car trouble but you still show that you can save someone! Much appreciated. I'll contact Randy Robinson ASAP. Thank you so very much!

Thanks so much for the reply & suggestion. @Bruce Johnson, Please do swoop in like Batman and save this bass neck. LOL.

Hey guys! Hope you are all well. I have a 1963 Vintage Fender Neck that is in need of some TLC. I bought it years ago in the current condition in the hopes of restoring the neck to glory. Here is what is needed. 1. Fretboard removal 2. Truss rod replacement 3. Flatten of the maple...

No crap. I’m a SWR man. As a result of this light weight craze I’ve purchased a 2 Goliath jr, Bertha, and a Goliath III for under $500 in the past 4 years. I already owned a 350 and 750 head. Plus a 70’s SVT ....Now I cabs to drive em.

In 2001 i dropped today's equivalent of $5,500 on a boutique bass. Although i still own it... I've always played my $1500 and less basses (Fender P & J's, Stingray) over it. So, I share your sentiment completely. I don't feel that a Fodera nor the like (Avella Coppollo) is worth the bread...

Put my on the list.... I’ve been playing roto66’s for 10 years. 45-105. Just put a fresh set on my 65 Jazz today. Love the new string sound. I’ve tried everything... nothing gives me the rock growl like them. I wish they lasted me longer than three months though. But I play everyday.

Hey! I will be glad to tell the story. I live in Richmond, VA. For years, my daily routine would include searching craigslist for vintage beat up fender basses. I found this one in Virginia Beach VA. I drove to the guys house with cash in hand. Most of my basses are beat up fenders. I...

I still don't know the color but its way more teal metallic in the cavities so I've ruled out LPB. there is a stamped # 12 in the neck cavity. Does anyone know what that may mean? Over a year and half later, I still have not got it refinished. Its been in constant rotation with my 65 J and my...
