[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1331490811' post='1573685'] I found a bag of cvnts once. [/quote] And here I thought I was lucky finding a 62 J Bass, Thanks for taking my glory right out from under me. I am truly envious of the man that finds an entire bag of "CVNTS" ,,,,,Wanna trade???

I don't know, era uoy erus ? Could you read that with ease? You may be dyslexic. I've been using that screen name for quite awhile and never heard anyone say it was confusing at all. However I can see where "CVNT" could be misused in this situation.

[quote name='stinson' timestamp='1331478716' post='1573372'] Me too! [/quote] Must be something in the water, sorry

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1331478449' post='1573366'] I keep reading you user name as 1SH1THOT. [/quote] I'm afraid I can't help you with that, perhaps a forum for dyslexia would be of some assistance?

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1331472686' post='1573248'] Not convinced about the age of it, I reckon it needs a good relic job on it to look like a real '62. [/quote] I agree, maybe I'll take some sand paper and a metal file and fix it up a bit this afternoon lol Yeah right, it's been sitting in its case for 47 years untouched, & unplayed. So it'll just have to stay looking to good to be true

Well then it's definitely not mint, this is white I mean it's a 50 year old white but definitely white, nothing green about it at least not from what I can tell.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1331381228' post='1572097'] It's even got the original string mutes! They were only fitted for the first two years of production... And is that a mint/black/mint pg?

[color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote] That is a White/black/white PG I don't know if that's the same as mint but it looks white to me, It is a true Fender part from the 60's I also have a Tortoise Shell PG as well that was in the case with it. Both are genuine PG's it is certainly a Re-fin as the tortoise guard was it's original on a sunburst J-Bass

Yeah, I thought "Hey maybe I can sign on and answer some questions on my phone??, maybe it won't be such s pain in the butt??" I was wrong, typing on my IPhone is nothing but a pain in the butt, Sorry I'll try and get back on soon though.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1331362869' post='1571833'] I love both Shell Pink and Surf Green too! I refinished a Fender USA '62 reissue Jazz Bass in Shell Pink (which I sold a few weeks ago to Haimesy in Edinburgh). I'm currently working on a Surf Green '62 reissue with matching headstock, and also a '54 style P-Bass in Shell Pink. Here's a link to the thread I posted showing the '62 reissue Shell Pink refinish http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165861-fender-usa-62-jazz-bass-refinish-at-home/page__fromsearch__1 [/quote] Oh that was you? I saw that a week ago and actually to be honest, it was what made me decide I wanted another, you did an outstanding job, I can't wait to see the next project.

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1331353816' post='1571812'] Cheers mate. Awful colour though [/quote] I will admit when I first saw it I thought, who in the Hell would want a Pink Bass??? Then about ten seconds later it hit me.............I would!!!!! I don't just like it I love it. I actually am strongly thinking about trying to get an American Re-Issue 62-64 J-Bass in either Shell Pink or Sea Foam/Surf Green. They would look great next to each other.

Okay, So there's a nice thing to wake up to I guess, I finally figured out a way to post some pics.

Ok lets see if this works.

Okay, I will still be getting a few pics up as soon as I can, Just wanted to fill you guys in on a few things about the current situation-it is BEYOND a crazy situation, an even more unbelievably strange story, definitely one to be remembered. I literally have now been through at least 5 different stories and I am pleased to say (Now that I have talked to the family) That I FINALLY know the truth. Unfortunately all I had to go off of was the stories I had been told from the guys that I got it from, I have even found out that even more of what I was originally told was untrue. None the less, It has an exciting and peaceful resolution. No the original owner is not deceased he is still here and able to tell his story. I am getting tid bits here and there everyday and so far it is one very cool story. I'm kinda waiting until I get the full story and of coarse the families permission to post some of the more personal details before getting into it. I'd much rather just tell it all at once and just copy & Paste for both BC & TB at the same time. It is more than likely going to be pretty long so plan on it being a bit of a read, Sorry Not to mention I am not to thrilled with all the fabricated stuff that I have been told in the beginning of this saga. So forgive me but this time I wanna make sure I have my facts straight, I'm sure you guys understand. At least I hope you do. Gotta feed the little ones but as soon as I can I'll figure the pic thing out.

Man PhotoBucket sucks.... Sorry guys I'll load some somewhere else tonight.

Nope sorry

Well, Not much time to update, But absolutely hysterical reading the last few posts. You guys certainly do know how to make it interesting. For the record, the original bass owner has been discovered to NOT be deceased. He is alive and sharing stories of his days playing bass with Buddy before his death, and the Crickets several times afterwards. I will come back later tonight and post some more updates, and try my best to get some pics up, From what I understand too many people viewed them and they exceeded their bandwidth limit, so Photobucket won't allow them to be seen until the 27th when my account limits are restored to zero. Sorry I'm cheap I know. I will see about putting some up through a different source. My avatar on TB is the only one I know of that isn't blocked. Same screen name. We'll see if this one works............ [IMG]http://i1052.photobucket.com/albums/s453/ShellPink62/163.jpg[/IMG]

Okay guys, Yes I know who one of them was, I have to say I believe he was trying to be helpful, rather than cause anyone grief. Although I did also learn that there was WAY more than the one, and I'm sure there's a mix of reasons behind each of them. I have to admit I can see where some felt as if they were doing the right thing by letting the family know and I understand the logic there. I personally would never involve myself in others affairs to that extent, but I can see where their thought process was and they probably felt as if they had done some good. Others I'm sure w/o any doubt whatsoever did it out of good ol' spite, bitterness, and jealousy. Those are the ones that really get under my skin the ones that had no good intentions not for me, nor the family of the original owner. So I have talked in great lengths with his daughter, She is absolutely one of the sweetest people I have met in a long time. She has been a huge help with information and said that she was happy it ended up with someone who would appreciate it, as well as the story behind it. By my asking her a thousand questions it has given her a chance to bond with her father even more so than before and I can't express how much she seems to truly enjoy that ability to do so right now. She seems genuinely happy to be able to relive his days playing with the Crickets and he told her he even got to play a bit with in Buddy Holley in Iowa a few years before his death. (I think I said that right) Even opening with the Crickets for Elvis at a small Iowa venue. I'm sure a lot of the guys telling on me felt that I had done something wrong and wanted to do the right thing so no I am not holding any hard feelings towards them at all, I am sure some would be glad to know that everything will have a very happy ending, or rather a new beginning as her and I have talked over Email and by phone at least once daily since all this started. She is learning more and more about her father than she had ever known, He is getting to relive all his best memories, I am getting to hear an incredible story, and all of you are getting to somewhat watch it unfold. Absolutely one very cool bass, an even cooler man behind the music, his incredible daughter, and the guy that stumbled into one hell of a story. For the record, She IS a member of TB I'm not sure she's into the whole forum thing but I will let her introduce herself if she wants to. She joined the forum when a member posted links to the TB thread in an email to her so she could see what was going on. She then asked me if I'd give her a poster if I ever was to split the stuff up. To which, she was abruptly told no, ONLY because I had no idea it was her. Had I of known, she would have definitely been given one and has since been given an open offer to have one should she ever decide the pictures aren't enough. I'm actually really considering getting them framed and sending one to her so she has it for herself. For those of you that frequent TB I'll probably be re-posting some stuff back there soon. Stay tuned. I'm sure she's pretty sick of her in box being filled with Emails telling on me lol

Guys sorry there has been some new developments in this crazy adventure and I really can't get into it at the moment until I see where it is going to go, Turns out one of the members at TB did decide to contact the family, so I am trying to see where things are going to go and then I will come back and post again. So far so good I have talked to the daughter twice and it seems everything wil have a happy ending for all parties involved. I will update asap.

Sorry but those are the only ones they seem to want to let me show/.
