Ok for your consideration...
Im not sure I want to do this but something has caught my eye...
[size=3][i](I feel allready hopeless writing this knowing GAS got me again;)[/i][/size]
Anyways my most original vintage piece I own...
All parts on the bass are original also the case is original...
ofcourse it has played quite some time, I wouldn't call it mint,
but in good condition none the less, ready to be played for many years to come.
I love the neck on this one [size=3][i](B neck)[/i][/size] it feels just right, personally I prefer it over the neck of my '65 p, and thats no lie!
It has a beautiful chocolate brown FB, no divots, frets are in great condition.
They have been leveled once, or atleast thats what I think...
The finish is poly altho its thinner then the later fenders, and its yellowed quite a bit, you cant really tell on the pics but
it looks more like butterscotch it has a quite bright colour, it has some wear not too bad and some weather checking, which looks real cool.
About the sound:
It's quite a loud bass, very resonant, growly, bright and big, its not smooth and round, so I would use this for acoustic music and rock. The D and G strings have a very full tone to them which you wont find on
all of them. I dont know nothing not to like...
Here's a video of essentially the same bass built a half year later... Comes pretty close to the sound aswell..
