Add Stanley Clarke to that illustrious list with an appearance and fab solo on "if this bass could only talk" -
It's his backup bass, not his main one but same year and spec. Plays as it looks

1979 fretless Ray bought from Pino Palladino via bass gallery. I do struggle when faced with temptation. -

1962 Jazz Bass in original Olympic white, curved board bought from Randy Hope-Taylor -
Factor in
UR for unexpected redundancy and
WTF??? for other previously unforeseen disagreeable eventualities. -
Very sad news indeed. Truly a great musician able to devise and play the impossible. Condolences to his family.

Bought around 2002 from Randy Hope-Taylor a rather nice 62 Jazz bass I will not be letting go.

Hopefully the picture loaded. I know the rules......

At least you can console yourself that they weren't particularly good examples. As you say, those were the prices back then. It makes the £220 I paid new for my JV Squier Jazz Bass in 1984 look a not very good buy. Hope you spent the money on something worthwhile.

His website is still up. Is he not responding to email?

Have had a similar service. Have left grotty refin 62 jazz bass there today for fretless conversion. Looking forward to getting it back.

Mrs Guy bought me one of those racks last Christmas, only then realising she had left me with six empty stands. It has been a fun year filling them.
-
That is a really clean looking bass. Congratulations on what looks a great choice. Was it dealer or private?
-
I'm confused as to why you would only have four Jazz basses?
-
I'll get the hang of modern technology eventually....
Thanks for your kind comments. It's just the right condition for me. No need to be too careful -

It's just possible I might have uploaded a picture of my tele. Apologies if I haven't -
I couldn't resist a tele purchase in December. I had a 66 sunburst in the early 80s. Long gone. Now have a 66 in blonde. Even better and very hard to put down.

GaryDay has a very nice looking 66 jazz bass in black with matching headstock. Looks a good buy for £6k. Happily for me, I have 3 pre cbs jazzes, all pretty much original, other than the odd screw or missing cover. I always buy on approval subject to taking them to see Martin Petersen for a second opinion/check over. No genuine, confident seller would object to that. I am always open to the purchase of another pre 65 jazz and have never regretted a vintage purchase. If you are careful, nor will you.
