That's a warlord. I can only imagine the lungs of the guy who played it.

That sunburst '66 is a scratch built Bravewood repro (with a real tort pickguard). Very convincing. I know the current owner.

I was going to mention the 66J is a Bravewood from UK... but @Dynacord beat me to it.

I think I have already shown my Bravewood 63J... but now I also have this 58P.
Both have handwound BareKnuckles pickups and play super nicely.

Nice basses! He does great work. Isn't the Jazz a "62" type? (slab board)

You know 60's Fenders better than me !
I was going with 63 because of the 3 knobs but if a 63 should have a veneer board, then it's a 62J replica ;-)

3 knob with slab board could be mid '61 to mid '62. Mute holes/ground strap continued into early '63

Oddly enough, the back is cleaner than the front.

DeeDee's bass is at auction. Anyone want to buy a spleen or kidney or something? I kinda need this in the worst way. Silicone caulk and all. In the worst way.

IIRC it’s a refin. Still, a beauty.

That is sweet! So Italian! I've never seen a black teardrop - maybe it was a re-fin when the awesome fb inlays were added. I've never wanted a VOX teardrop - but I would love to own that one!
