Nice to see the CS doing a similar bass (and that seems to before the price hikes 😬)

I must have missed the posts where people weren't?
We've a shop selling for a very large amount of money an instrument that I doubt they have the expertise to fully evaluate (examples being misinterpretation of serial number, supposed originality of case, and the fact that if you go back through their sold inventory they generally deal in basses that sell for a small percentage of what they're asking for this), and a few folks have pointed out some of the issues. Even if the PG were original - which seems unlikely - the finish looks like no other '62 I've seen - and yes while each instrument fades differently there are some boundaries to how far that difference operates. I won't go into details but I suspect at least one member here has been drawn into buying a 'rare' bass from a reputable seller only to find that it's not what they believed they were buying and the seller hiding behind the commission sale excuse. Feels this thread and the other thread about the same bass are doing a public service? OK, might be 100% genuine and original, but there's nothing like enough info from the shop to suggest that's the case, and a lot of reasons to suggest it's not?
Agree with you 100% Chris. If we’re getting into it, what winds me up here is that the photo clearly shows a solid colour. but the text only states neck refin. Ambiguous adverts are such a red flag.

Is that guard definitely not anodised?
It’s not, I’ve seen the bass in person. Shame can’t find a better photo, looked great. Was ordered to match the Strat.

should this not be a 3 tone burst with a tort guard?
From factory yes, but Fender did sell on that guard as an aftermarket option back then, like mentioned in my post above. Her bass started with tort, but very soon after she got a new guard to match his Strat, and gold hardware too I think. Classic family photo below…
Or if it was red then resprayed ignore the above.

Love the burst with aged guard.
Years ago I saw another like this, belonged to the wife of Chas McDevitt, they played in a duo and ordered the guard to match his Strat, think that was in ‘59 IIRC-

Still for sale?
Yes… well in theory anyway as it is currently stored at a friends house in Berkshire because I’m preparing to move home.
Please send me a direct message if you’re interested in a collection from there, we’ll see if we are able to work something out. Unfortunately shipping won’t be possible for quite a while.

Does anyone know if the j-tone will fit in a Fender American Professional Jazz bass V-string?
They are designed to retrofit a Fender, so would be surprised if it didn’t.

Just in case… last chance to make an offer as I’m looking to put this in storage tomorrow. Cheers

Last bump for a while as much of my gear is going into storage on Saturday for at least a few months.

The white one in 2018 wasn’t with black hardware, so I guess this has either been modded or is from the EB Vault shop. Looks great.

August update - no longer withdrawn.

That’s a colour from 2008. I remember looking into this when I got a 2008 purple one.
I had a pdf of the brochure but can’t find it, @hiram.k.hackenbackermay still have my paper copy?
edit - may or may not been that brochure, was a while back, but I recall a print out stating green, orange and purple flake options, perhaps others too.

Thanks for moving this mods 🙏

Tone Hammer DI / Preamp. 3 band EQ, sweepable mids, footswitchable AGS gain circuitry for overdrive or aggressive tones. Can be used via battery, power supply, or phantom power. Pre or post EQ on the DI. Heavy duty steel construction. Ground lift switch.
Good condition, works perfect. Home use only. About 10 months old but I no longer need a preamp pedal.
Comes with box and Dunlop 18v power supply, which is sold separately and most importantly not a cheap noisy one.
Cheers.

The Saudis expand from football and move into YouTube and music. Scott moves to the desert, earns £800k a week, and performs in traditional Saudi attire while bathed in luxury.

Did they do 2 different fingerboard woods for the JMJ? Some I see have dark and some have lighter wood like yours.
See what I mean below,some seem
to have dark Rosewood and some look more like Pau Ferro or a light rosewood
They’re all rosewood. Which being natural can vary between light or dark.

I’ve played this one, it was spot on. And when I heard it in a mix v’s a Custom Shop Pino, we’ll let’s just say the Pino was more of an embarrassed red than fiesta red 😬

12 New Stingray Special Bass Colours and Bass Custom Design Announced at NAMM
in Bass Guitars
Posted · Edited by Chiliwailer
Absolutely. The older I get the more SLO appeals, but my buying days are well over here for a new MM, a bit over £2k for an HH Special in 2018 was already pushing it for me personally.
