Pre-CBS Fender Basses.. Let's See Em

[MixBass]

65 J I was lucky to get back after selling years earlier.
p.s.,I'm happy to follow anybodies advice twisting these for future neck preservation.

Damn, all these are very nice. Thanks for posting them. I really liked that 60 refin in white!

 

[D Bopp]

Anyone have a 64 jazz in Sonic Blue w/ matching head?

59 PBass

My 64 P bass..
She was a gem and resided under a bed for 30 years before I got my hands on her and haven't stop playing her since..
The jazz on the left is a 77 with a 68 P bass neck defretted.

62J

I don't name all my basses, but this one acquired the apellation Bucephylus; though I later learned that is a mis-spelling.

They all look good, but this is my favorite by a mile. Congrats!

'65J L-series.

Tell me you still have the ashtray and PU cover?

Thanks - It sounds and plays better than it looks too. Perish the thought, but if I could only have 1, this would be it.

WOW! congrats to all of you who have these instruments. Even tough I love my CBS precision, I would do almost anything to get a pre CBS Fender.

BTW, did Fender made any P-basses with matching headstock in that time?

I do, and I have the OHSC thats in similar shape as the bass.

The owner of Midtown Music here in Atlanta told me that he has an early 60s P bass in Fiesta red with matching headstock. I haven't seen it though. They are very rare if Fender actually did produce them.
