Thank you thank you!!!
I do have more!
I LOVE the bass!!! It gets the most play as of lately.
It has what I believe to be the OHSC but its jammed in my closet at the moment...

Unfortunately at the expense of my hopes and dreams it has been determined to have been refined in 1963 as soon as it was purchased as an original 3t sunburst.
So while yes it is the most rare color and yes it is a very old vintage refin.
It is not the great 40k bass it appears to be.
My buddy's 66 P has the similar darkened tort...(the sunburst bass to the left of my 62) Sorry for the crappy pic
Is that the only pic you have from back then?
That would be a cool thread to see, vintage basses in vintage pics.
I never see any old pics there must be some floating around out there.
Anyone got old pic from the 60's of a guy playing a shell pink J Bass let me know please.
Alright somehow things have slowed to a crawl, if not a complete stop.
I know there MUST be a few more good Fenders out there hiding amongst you.
Don't be shy, or feel embarrassed I mean c'mon I posted a pink one people.
If anyone has something to be a bit reluctant about its the guy admitting his bass is pink.
Speaking of which I think I'll get me a T-shirt made that reads "Real men play pink basses"
Okay probably not.
Now can we please get some more pics up.
I'm like a vintage Fender junkie now all of a sudden and desperately in need of my fix I mean pics. : )
I'm also curious how some of you guys came across these beautiful pieces.
Is there anyone here that sold the farm & kids to fund their dream bass? Or are these all just passed down or carried over from years passed?
Pretty sure everyone knows my story and how I came to have the pink bass, what's yours?

I've read quite a bit from you, and I have to say, I don't know what your deal is. You have possession of a bass guitar that people would literally kill for. Being pink isn't an issue. I would NEVER seek a pink bass, but that thing is phenomenal. And based on what I've read, you have another collector's item, and you don't really play that much?
Man.
It's going to be hard to get all the pre-CBS Fenders onto this thread, simply because I doubt a very large percentage of TalkBass posters have them, and those that do might not log in every day, and see this thread.
I hope they do, though, because I'm really enjoying this.

I was totally kidding, I love the pink I was being sarcastic.
As far as me playing, I wouldn't say I don't play that much. I play every day several times s day. I've played guitar off and on for the past 7-10 years, nothing professional though just play for my own personal enjoyment.
I never really paid a whole lot of attention to the bass up until I bought this one.
Now I'm hooked, not just on the bass but vintage stuff all together.
If there is such a thing as "the vintage bug"
It's definitely sunk its teeth deep into me and won't let go.
I can honestly say my guitars have taken a back seat to learning different bass techniques and playing styles.
I played a lot of rhythm guitar on my acoustic and it's been quite a while since I've exercised the use of very many scales. So I'm trying to familiarize myself with them again and get used to stretching my fingers on a wider scale.
And yep also battling blisters on my fingertips all over again.
I feel like a complete noobie all over again.
But I'm learning and trying. Still have a long long way to go.
Yeah I'm hoping to get at least a few more Pre CBS basses on here before it dies out.
This can't possibly be all there is out here.
Wow, that bass was born a day after me. For some reason that strikes me as cool!
