Pepelaici-

Thanks a lot for watching...

In fact

I've already posted most of my basses here... but they didn't last for long.. The amount of information is so huge that my threads have been wipped out in no time by other new threads...
I can't even find my old threads, as there isn't any search system working properly well in this forum !!!
Otherwise, I would have done you the links !!!!

Man, that collection is truly out of this world. I of course am appropriately humbled by that P bass, but that Burst Jazz is my favorite. I can see you collect for investment value as well as a true love of vintage Fender instruments, and IMO those who can afford to do the former much more seldom do the latter.

You should "relic" it to make it look more authentic.
















:hiding:

I understand your reason to keep it as pristine as possible, but yet there's a big part of me that goes with what others have said here - it was built to be played. If I owned it, I don't think I'd have the will-power to keep my hands off it.

I understand this piece of advise of yours... and...
I would propose you a great deal !!!
What if sell it to you for Twenty thousand dollars ????
(This is the present value of this bass here in Europe).
With this axe in your hands, it will be funny to see if you dare to do anything with it...
If you do, and after you have "relicked" it, I would buy it to you for six thousand dollars...
Wich is the value for a normal used PB made in 1965...
Isn't it a nice deal ???? :D

You would lose fourteen thousand dollars... but it doesen't matter because:
"Instruments were built to be played" as you said.:bassist:

What a beauty is she still with us, man I would love to feel and hold that baby for a while......... Id use the finest polish the softest cloth to gently dust her of and shine her up...... and then....make a cup of tea and put her sitting on the guitar stand and watch her, and watch her, maybe just run the soft cloth up and down her neck a couple of times..... but then would come the time when all resistance would fail...I would take her gently in my arms, speak softly to her, reassure her, tell her all the things she means to me, tell her all the feelings she stirs in me....and then.....I..I..I.........I would take my finest lead with the gold plated 1/4 inch jacks and gently hook her up to my Trace Elliot 350 with the brand new 15" Emminence Delta Lite.......then and only then would I switch on THE POWER......fingers trembling I would guide her gently to sit on my lap....waiting watching wondering....how will she sound how will she feel..... I know the answer even before I pluck the first string......oooohh...sooo sublime.

Nothing more than two old pieces of wood bolted together. When you kick the bucket, someone else will own it and probably play the hell out of it. I'm playing my old P now, so when I kick, the next owner will know it's been played and hopefully will keep on using it, the way it was meant to be used.
