Yeah, it's definitely got the mojo factor. I only use it for recording, sounds killer. My bandleader would prefer I gig with it but I'm too paranoid to take it out, it's irreplaceable.
Your 61 seems to have very little or no router hump. Is it just the picture? My 62 looks a lot like yours, Just curios if some were less than others.
i immediately went to bill evans.
yeah, OP: "Jazz Trio" --- where are the piano and drums?
your axes look like they might play themselves! nice!
Previous owner took the bass to a belt sander. He literally sanded at least a quarter inch off the entire instrument including the headstock. When I had it refinished my luthier added a veneer to the headstock to thicken it and also added a block of wood near the neck pocket as that area was heavily sanded. No idea what some of these guys were thinking back in the 70s.
I agree. Your ‘61 does not need to be hauled around to gigs. I do not care how rich you or are not, there are only so many genuine 1961 stack knob Jazz Basses in this world that are in playable condition.
They had no clue their $250-$450 Fenders would ever be valuable.
Right. This is how it looked when I got it from an estate sale a few years ago. Nobody could figure out what it was so I stole it, lol.
Very nice...love the 61 in particular.
I too have had a trio of Jazz Basses since the late 80’s...always had at least three, but the combinations have varied over the years.

Lovely trio.
And I think it's cool that your blanket has right and left handed guitars. Someone knew to put that in the pattern.

Jamerson played a Precision, though! I've studied all of his Motown lines, they're genius but I just can't get into that thuddy, dead tone on all of those records. All of my basses (including my PBass) have roundwounds.
It's a sound worth exploring. I have a P bass set up that way. Just one though. A Kay M-1 upright with flats so I guess that's two with flats, No mute on the Kay, I don't bow that much
The rest have various rounds on them including a Jazz fretless and a '62 P bass fretless that I have posted everywhere on TB, maybe even in this thread, I don't remember, old guy hereI'd take it out of storage so you can fire it up every now and then, it's better for it.
Btw, nice basses.
