Picked up a 65 J from the original owner. Thought I'd share pics with you guys, plays really nicely!

[mikeswals]

Stunning! Nice catch!

 

[Chalky White]

Really beautiful bass!!

Reminds me of Noel’s in JHE...

 

[Killing Floor]

Wow, nice. Enjoy! Oh, sorry about spilling my salad dressing in that pickup cavity, haha. Sweet find!

It played nicely with those strings?


Beautiful bass.

 

[garp]

Such a lovely 'burst – they don't do 'em like that no more.

 

[Funk With Me]

That is a stunning instrument. A true gem.

 

[SJLee]

Congratulations, beautiful burst!

I dunno, it looks like a piece of crap to me. I'll give you $100 for it just so you can get it out of your house. I'll even be generous and pay for shipping.

Relic Schmelic, that's the real deal, there's no faking it. Sweet old Bird.

Beautiful bass. Hard to find tort like that these days. I’d bet many of the anti-tort people have never even seen the the really good stuff and only have experience with the modern stuff.
You might need new foam under the pups if you cannot raise them high enough.
Those tuners have a ratio that’s a little on the coarse side by modern standards so tuning may require a little more patience.

 

[Michael Bauer]

So sweet!!! That's a wonderful find. Enjoy it!!!

 

[Eric Moesle]

I don’t even know you and I already hate you! Congrats on an awesome score!

 

[Tubehed]

Wow! From the original owner, even! Beautiful bass!

Dude!!! Wow! Green with envy here, for sure!
Almost the equivalent of a guitar enthusiast landing a '59 Les Paul. Congratulations!!! What a find!

 

[covermego]

Wow! And at 9lbs, even more amazing!!

 

[spantini]

Beautiful!

Just like the one I used in my first studio sessions. Sounded great on tape.
