    I have two 65/66 jazzes. One has a July 65 neck fitted with padouk fretboard: it's a bit more orange and swirly than rosewood. Apparently Fender did this a few months in '65 as kind of an experiment.

    Nothing wrong with a nice sunburst P! Great weight too. The fretboard could be padouk

    Very nice. I like that Dakota red finish on these basses. The mods seem to have been done with love and care too, that's not always the case with mods on "student level" Fenders from that era. A few weeks ago I almost bought an unmodded one that was for sale in Italy at a vintage shop. Unfortunately the seller turned out kind of a rude *sshole in the first communication already, so I'll be waiting with patience for the right one that deserves my cash Enjoy 🙂

    Still looking for a nice trade, but good cash offers are welcome too.

    I don't have it near me at the right moment, but enter "b25b dimensions" on Google and the first hit is a complete spec sheet.

    It has a set neck instead of neck-through construction.

    My 66 jazz has a padouk fretboard. The neck is dated July 65, as apparently many of them are. This seems like rosewood indeed. Very nice bass.

    I've listened to the Unlimited Love quite a few times now and really like most of it. I think it's the best album since Californication. So I'm actually pretty excited that more is coming 🙂

    Superb, what is it?
  15. SurroundedByManatees
    That's correct!

    The guard is a modern replacement. Also I doubt the neck is original.. the logo positioning seems a bit weird, and I don't think these are supposed to have a skunk stripe. String tree appears to be lower than usual..
  17. SurroundedByManatees
    Lowered to €2.600 cash

    I wouldn't think much of it, other than that it's probably helpfull to get a low action with correct break angle over the bridge saddles. Many old Fenders even came with shims from the factory.

    She's also for sale now!

    I've sold a bass post brexit a while ago, and used ups and their customs declaration procedure. I assume the process for a straight sale and trade will be pretty much the same.

    Fender '75 Precision Bass Cool Mocha precision from the '70s. The pickups are dated to 1975, the pots are dated 1974. It's a well playing and good sounding P bass. The neck is straight and adjustable, and allows low action. It's a pretty light instrument too, just a bit below 4kg! with covers unmounted. The neck is pretty small at the nut for a precision at 39/40mm As you can see, the bass has a lot of small damages and honest playwear. The tuners and pots have been replaced, but the original 1974 pots are included in the sale. The chrome covers and thumb rest are not original to this bass. Asking €2700 Ideally I'd offer this bass in a partial trade for a player grade <65 Fender Jazz with Brazil fretboard, max 4kg, and a refinish (as it keeps te value a lot lower). I've got more stuff to add in a trade! Otherwise I'd might be interested in (partial) trades for; old Music Man Sabre with rosewood fretboard, Modulus Flea in fancy finish. And maybe a nice vintage Mustang Bass. The bass is located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am also happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Payment wise I accept cash on collection or PayPal friends.

    Today even basses from the late 90s get offered as being "vintage" more than once... I've owned a '79 Fender that had soft areas in the dark part of the sunburst. In some places fibres from the case interior were stuck in it. It were just a few little places though, not as bad as the lefty from the reverb listing.

    I'd happily exchange a combination of this basses for a good <65 jazz bass with Brazil fretboard; - Rickenbacker 4001 Azureglo '74 - Fender Precision '75 mocha (not for sale, only available for trade) - Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazz Bass (also for sale here)
