Ok...this amazing 65 is just too majestic to not share. Light on distress but heavy on gol-dang-it!View attachment 3851897 View attachment 3851898 View attachment 3851899

A beauty - I wonder if that would be Shoreline Gold, or amber'd Inca Silver? Looks like he forgot to screw down the control plate screws before taking pics!

Nice. That’s my birth year and I love a good gold J.
As close as I’ve come is this ‘66 CS J. Love the Lollipops. The Glass Sparkle P/G on it is sublime. Glad I kept that trinket around all these years.

Love those dot bound 66 jazz basses, and the Shoreline Gold is the cherry on top.

Is that the Fender issue sparkle guard?? I have one of the gold ones. They are really nice. I like that on your bass.

Yes, that’s the Fender “Glass Sparkle”. It was discontinued ( iirc) and took me a while to find one and I eventually had to get my Bro in Law who was living in the USA at the time yo find one for me. It looks awesome. Your Jazz looks just as awesome there.

... Hans Ritter. Apparently he was attempting to do an artistic version of relic-ing.

My ‘76 Jazz has some interesting “acne”...I always wondered what the holes were for...

Ooo! You have your bases covered, a P and a J. What's the story with the P? Love the J, Rhodes and the Studio Bass amp as well.
