And all the case candy too.

I believe the term is shiznit. However, if by shinizit you mean totally awesome bass find, I completely agree, you lucky shizner.

That's simply awesome. I'd say it's a dream bass. I'm a big fan of B&B and Jazz Basses of course. I'm jelous.

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BASS I'VE SEEN IN A LONG, LONG TIME.

Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words! I think that this one will be in the stable for a while! ;-)

Sweet. Blocks/binding/matching headstock/TV logo checks off all of my boxes.

Very nice. Extremely nice, in fact!

UPS pulled up and I got her unboxed, etc. She's an American Vintage Reissue (Special Edition) made in 2003. Research says that 75 of these (in this color) were made for the U.S. market and 30 for overseas. She's stunning in person. Bass is in very good overall condition. She's pretty light-weight (I'm guessing between 8.5 and 9 lbs). Compares very favorably to some Fender Custom Shop basses I've owned and put my hands on.

Sounds amazing. The 70's pickup spacing is the shinizit. I need to give her a minor setup, etc (action is now medium-low).

Came with the original hardshell case and ALL the case-candy (Fender inspection sign-offs, Fender sticker, tags (including price), Fender sticker, manual, warranty, cord, strap, etc, etc, etc). The bag with the ashtrays, manual, keys, etc, etc is still sealed and I don't plan on opening it (as I don't really need anything in there). Winner-winner-chicken-dinner!!!!

Definitely one of the best Fender colors...matching headstock and block inlays put this one over the top!

Please keep it forever... But if at some point of your life you change your mind, please just give me a call and I will take the first flight to Baltimore and kindly take it off of your hands.

That kinda hurts to look at cuz it's so sweet and I will probables NEVER own one

Congrats on a beautiful bass!

 

[JoeSlam80]

Stunning! That bass should spend as little time as possible in that case.

Beautiful bass.

Don't it make my blue eyes green...

Play it well.

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

LPB is lovely - nice bass. Curious - why the three-bolt neck on that one...?

 

[musicman666]

Oh my gawwwd! drool

 

[JKB1957]

That bass is stunning. Very nice find. Keep the groove.

 

[High Camp]

This is my ultimate dreambasssss......drool

 

[Pet Sounds]

Personally, the only thing I'd do is to put on the ashtrays, at least the one over the pickup. But I'm no doubt in the minority on that. Beautiful bass as is! Congrats!

 

[Quadzilla]

Ordered a tort guard for her too. I'm not 100% sold that tort will look better than the white, but I have seen some LPB Jazz basses with tort guard that look awesome, so I want to give it a shot.

Soooo, I was thinking about doing that, but I'm not sure that I want to break the seal open on that bag that has the covers and all the other stuff. I could just buy some from an online Fender dealer. I don't think that they are expensive...
