Shame they haven’t though.

You’re like me, I love a sunburst vintage Fender, never been too keen on custom colours (thankfully with prices these days), but Oly white is fab on a Jazz. Lucky to have an original finish stack knob in Oly White. The collection in the auction is a great set of CAR’s though if that’s your thing.

They have a full set of all Fender models in CAR, some collection!

I don’t know Lee, but happy to help, donated. Hope he manages to hang on to one!

Well it’s clearly a cheap style copy of the one Pino played. Can’t tell much else from the pic.

Just absurd pricing. Embarrassingly so.

Embarrassing pricing. Simple as that. Probably the best (worst) one yet.

You mention it being a refin, do you know what the original colour was? only asking because Jazz basses were almost always matching headstock for custom colours in ‘65, so if it was originally a colour, then very likely the headstock was stripped at the same time as the body, so very possible to be a new decal. If it was originally sunburst, then very likely the decal and headstock is original. Just a consideration.

The instruments produced are the records.

Thanks, like I said, it’s not opinion, there’s plenty of examples out there. 👍 By the way, the pots on the ‘61 look good to me.

I don’t fall out with anyone, life’s too short, but some of these points aren’t opinion. Some things are of course, but not the details referenced in the exchange. I will hang around, as had some very kind and interesting messages that have given me reason to stick around. Happy Sunday everyone! ✌️

I agree too. It’s a great thread. However it isn’t the minefield some may think if you know what you’re looking at. Lots of simple nonsense spoken, in full view of simple, well known facts. But I’m out of this post too, I now remember why I stopped coming to this site some years back. Shame.
