It could well be a '66 by the way. In the ad they say all necks we're having binding from January '66 and on. On production level this could be true, but can't be used for exact dating. I've owned a bass with pots dating to week 12/66 with a '65 unbound neck. And that is not unusual, I've seen them a quite a few times being on '66 basses. Apparently there was a stash of '65 necks that made it well into '66. Looking at the lollipop tuners, I'd be tempted to take this as an indication that this bass has been finished in '66, as that has been a feature the mentioned '66 basses w/ '65 necks had in common.

What Guitar would a Bassist grab?
SurroundedByManatees replied to StickyDBRmf's topic in General Discussion
I've got an Epiphone Joe Pass, which is a very nice guitar. Otherwise I'd feel at home with a strat or Fender offset models -
Beautiful handmade bass by Mirel. It's a light weight, modern interpretation of a Jazz Bass. Specs: - Alder body with bookmatched Olive top - Quartersawn maple neck w graphite rods - Ziricote fretboard w/ medium frets - 34" scale, 24 frets, 40mm bone nut - Hipshot B bridge - Hipshot Ultralite tuners - Aguilar humcancelling pickups - 3,64 kg The bass is in used but good condition with great playability. Soundwise it's like a good, little bit different jazz bass. Sounds are great with both pickups engaged or with the pickups solood. Especially the bridge pickup does a nice job solood imo. I received this one as a partial trade recently. How nice as it is, I don't need it. Lowered asking €1250 (fixed) I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk.

My pickup has bevelled pole pieces which I don't see on the CS. Perhaps it's an "original". -

Nope, no markings to identify. -

Thanks for all the responses, they are very helpful. I haven't checked the top of the bobbins, I'll see if they say anything. -

Anyone recognizes this pickup? It came to me in a Nate Mendel. It's clearly not the OBP-3 that should be in there, but I have no idea what this replacement is.

A good jazz bass is a good jazz bass! I've played affinity's that were better than some USA standards I've also played.

For sale is my beautiful Alembic Europa from the early ’90s. The bass is in very good condition. Everything works like it should and the neck plays great with a very low action. The neck is straight and well adjustable, frets are still good too.This bass has a broad range of sounds with it’s 2 pickups, eq and filter controls. Weight is 4,45kg on my kitchen scale. Balance is good, it’s ergonomically a comfortable instrument. A softcase is included in the sale. Not sure if it came originally with the bass. I've been told it is by the previous owner, but it's not branded. It’s a fantastic bass, but other type basses fit my needs better. Lowered fixed price: €3.650 I am located in the Netherlands, so probably EU offerings will be the only ones that are interesting. Partial trade concerning a much cheaper instrument (bass or guitar) is negotiable. Per example; 5er with narrow stringspacing, strat/jazzmaster or other offset, good acoustic guitar, stingray 4 with lacquered neck and maple fretboard..

This one is for the weight watchers amongst us!! For sale is a Fender American Professional Jazz Bass from 2018, with selected lightweight ash body. In appearance it reminds a lot of the early '80s, with its sienna burst and white knobs/pickup covers. Apparently this model was limited to only 300 pieces available worldwide. This beautiful bass only weighs a pinch above 3,6kg! The bass is in used but good condition. It has some small damages and usermarks, but nothing out of the ordinary. All hardware and electronics work like they should, and the neck is straight. The frets show a bit of wear, but again nothing special. Playability and sound are both great as you would expect from a good USA Fender. The original hardcase is included, which has a damaged corner. Also included is a COA and some other stuff. Lowered asking €1.500 I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

Music Man Stingray Classic For sale is my Music Man Stingray classic in coral red finish. You don't see these very often. The basses from this range are based on the original Pre-EB model. As you can see it has a beautiful flamed maple neck. The bass is in very good and clean condition. There are a few small damages, but nothing significant. The neck is straight and allows low action. Frets are still good too. Weight is around 4.6kg Included is the original branded hardcase. Asking €2.200 Tradewise I am interested in a player grade lightweight vintage Fender J or P (up to mid ´60s) or a Modulus 34´´ Quantum or early version Flea. I´ve got more basses that I could offer in a trade deal (Fender, Alembic, Modulus). I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.

I'm missing the hole for the strapbutton on the back of the headstock. The price suggests it's a reissue and they are aware of that. They probably mean " '59 type neck". Though it wouldn't be correct with a 40mm nut anyway.

Sound legit, it's Fender 🙂. Parts being dated a few years apart is nothing unusual.

Relisted: Modulus Quantum 4 For sale is this beautiful Modulus Quantum 4 with a nice cherry burst finish and stunning quilted maple top. Preamp and pickups are made by Bartolini. The preamp functions are; volume, pickup selector, mids, bass/treble stacked. Mini switches are for active/passive and mid frequency selection. The preamp output can be controlled by a trimpot. The bass is in very good used condition with a few small damages and usermarks. The scale is 35", which is too much for me. I had this bass for sale before and withdrawn to give the scale another try, but it doesn’t work out for me with my small hands I must have the Dunlop straplocks somewhere, but can’t find them at the moment. So I can’t promise they’ll be included. They are available everywhere though. Fixed price €2450 Tradewise I am interested in a player grade lightweight vintage Fender J or P (up to mid ´60s) or a Modulus 34´´ Quantum or early version Flea. I´ve got more basses that I could offer in a trade deal (Fender, Alembic, Modulus, Music Man). I am located in the Netherlands, but happy to ship at buyers risk and expense.
