You've got the basses coverd,all I can add is the flying mule :bassist:

Will one of you NorCal guys go buy this! Looks like a Bicentennial?

Here's my #1 Jazz, been with me since 1989, It replaced my Yamaha BB1200S. I didn't own another active bass until I picked up a 2006 Jaguar which I never play...

My 67 has a few cosmetic mods but it makes me smile every day:D:bassist::bassist:

Congrats on the new Wunkay ! The gold is totally rad! I got mine in 1980, Long gone,traded for my 62 jazz bass!

One of my best friends from college is 63ish with a 4 year old daughter. I tease him about getting into the bounce house and doing backflips with the 25 year old dads. You're gonna do great.:thumbsup:

Me and my wife 30 years ago! Car is long gone but we're still going strong !

Not been around for awhile.. Picked up my Bicentennial a little brother a couple weeks back!

Nice find ! love this kind of stuff! Your are right on track with cleaning the frets. You say it plays good, so the neck is probably straight enough and the skunkstripe damage is only cosmetic. Just re-glue it(clamp it so it is flush). Leave the paint damage as is. Rock it.:bassist:

I think I have a dozen basses at home. Maybe eight are worthy of passing on to my kids. I Know I have too many because 2 have been on loan to friends kids for years, And I just gave my nextdoor neighbor and my daughters boyfriend basses just to clear some space.🤪

Back in the early 80's when I was really trying to become player I never listened to Jaco. I was into Jimmy Haslip, Abe Laboriel, Nathan East, Chuck Rainey, Will Lee..I tried to play like those guys... Anyways, about 15 years ago I'm buying an Amp from some guy in LA, after playing a bit he...

The pickups showed up yesterday and into the 62 they went today. Okay, so as to my impression. First, these have a very full tone ,they are well balanced and have a definite punch and clarity. I had a "WOW, these sound great" moment. The are different than the Antiquity's. I think they sound...

I just ordered a set today for my 62. I currently have SD Antiquity II pups in it which sound great but I'm hoping for something a bit more tame like my 64 Jazz with original pickups sounds.
