NBD: 65 Fender J

[Blueinred]

Just lovely! Nice grab. Definitely a keeper.

It may be the camera angle, it may just be me, but in the face on shot of the headstock, the nut doesn't look square. Might check it so it doesn't split out.

Enjoy!

Just a few months younger than I am. I'd love to score one like that!

 

[Fluid Power]

I'd have to say you're wrong on the date!
Those strings are easily from the 50's!!!


That's a sweet Bass!

Sept 65.....that’s the one, the birthday bass for me. Let me know if you ever get rid of it

Wow! Congratulations!!!!

 

[Gyver]

Original owner and original strings!

 

[Geddaric]

I suppose you`ll tell me next that you got it for 3 digits! If so, I`ll know I`m not living my life right!
A BIG CONGRATS on that one!

 

[SJLee]

I wonder if you're the first person to ever take off the neck?

This is what bass dreams are made of! Thanks for sharing this amazing instrument with us and congrats on an amazing find! Would love to hear some sound samples...hint...hint!

I don't as a rule, like bursts.... but for that one I would make an exception! Did you have to fully fund the original owners retirement program?

 

[EdwardofHuncote]

Congratulations & Compliments. I like it!

 

[dalkowski]

Someone direct me to the nearest fainting couch...

 

[nilorius]

[Pdaddy1978]

I guess they're still out there!...
Super sweet bass....congrats!
Which did you rob to finance it?.... Gas stations or liquor stores?

How far back did Fender start using shims? I took another 65 J bass apart that also had a shim in it.
