What are the differences between them tonally?

I'd say the '72 is a bit brighter and louder to my ear but I'm definitely no expert. They both have a classic Jazz Bass honk.
And here with my 1964.

I was saving money for a Fodera when this came up and scuppered my plans!

I currently have around 16 Fenders and I love their playability and simplicity, tbh having a preamp just makes things complicated for me and a jazz or P bass does everything I need.

Couldn't agree more.
And got a gallery with your 16 Fenders? I'd love to see them!
I was going to place an Item Wanted advert and having browsed the first 10 pages I couldn't see one response or bump and wondered if many people get a lot of success on there.
I'm not totally sure but I think that if early issues of a De Agostini set don't sell as well as they project that they discontinue the collection before it is actually complete.

But there's also a lot of people who have come out the other side of financial and family responsibilities. They are in their 50s with the mortgage paid off, the kids if they had any left home etc. Many will have taken "early" retirement or be self-employed and a lot more flexible about taking time out of work to do music.
A lot of older musicians are still young at heart or more realistically have really ever grown up and just went through a phase at preventing to be a responsible adults. I know I did.
My current band are all in their 20s except for me...

I'm not knocking anyone - it was more a laugh at myself really. If you have a lot of mates who play, go to music college or live in a city with a lot of people then I reckon you've got a decent chance of putting a band together. And I suppose the internet helps nowadays - the net was only just starting when I was 16 and I lived in rural Dorset.
