Longwheelbass

Thank you very much Nik!

And using fingers... Fake News - T Bass @ 50% tone - 13:12:2020, 18.01.mp3

Turns out you can upload mp3's... Here's a recording from two days ago - done on GarageBand, bass with tone control @ 50% and run through the amp sim Big Stack with all settings on the sim at noon. No additional EQ on the bass. INSECURITY GUARDS mp3- v1.0.mp3

Sorry mate, I was just uploading a pic of the body showing the original white in the cavities as your question came in. Pretty much all of them were Olympic White with the exception of a small number of custom colour versions, a few black ones are still around and even less Candy Apple Reds.

Bass was originally Olympic White of course as most of them were.

Do you still have this Matteo?

I'm re-listing this bass at a reduced price. It will ship in a gigbag at £1700 plus shipping, or if you would like an original Fender case, it will come with the mid-70's one I have listed in the accessories section for an additional £200. I will include pics of that case below. I also have several mp3 recordings of the bass if you would like to hear them - just email me at [email protected] - as I have no idea about uploading a soundfile to these pages! 1968 Fender Telecaster Bass in great playing condition. Original pickup has been replaced with a 1971 unit that has not been rewound and still retains its original black and yellow PVC leads. Pots are 1966 Centralab with an original ceramic disk capacitor rated at 0.05 microfarad. The neck is a slim profile C width and is not as chunky as most C necks of that era, making it very comfortable to play. The bass weighs in at 8 lb 11/16 oz making it a pleasure to play standing up for long periods of time. Neck is in great shape, some wear on the board and the frets have tons of life left in them. Original case is in excellent condition, the latches work but the springs in the two outer latches have lost tension. Shipping £100 in the UK, €120 to the EU, £150 to the US. Insurance included in these shipping prices. Thanks for looking! PLEASE NOTE non-UK buyers contact me before paying to confirm address and agreement on stated shipping prices above. Any non-UK bid will be cancelled if payment is made before arranging and agreeing to shipping terms and price. Thank you for understanding.

Hi guys and girls, Got a surplus bass case from the 70's here - it's in fab shape, all latches work, interior is mint and the ends aren't trashed. Handle is perfect as well. I'll ship it free in the UK, £50 to the EU. It's listed on the commercial sites for a bit more to cover fees, so grab yourself a vintage bargain today!

Body and case have been sold. Neck is sold now as well.

Hi mate, I’ve been trying to sell the bass as a unit for ages but you know how people are - and right now most people are lowballing constantly. Im gonna keep the neck because it’s hard to find a nice neck these days at an affordable price. While I would have liked to keep it together I can’t justify selling it for the highest offer I’ve had which was around £500 less than what I paid for it. I have found some nice reclaimed pitch pine so one day will get organised and knock out a few bodies - one of which will end up going on the neck. To be honest, it’s looking like I’ll just have to pull everything off the body and sell it bit by bit. I had a lovely 72 P that had a battery box rout out of the back which I repaired neatly and refinished the repair area with nitro, and tried selling it for 3 months - complete with an OHSC and Zero interest. Pulled it to bits and sold everything in two weeks. Go figure.

Sorry I forgot to mention it’s a B neck.

68/69 Telecaster Bass body with original bridge and pots/knobs and plates. Neckplate is late 68/early 69 ballpark, pickup is from a 1971 Bass and is original winding. Great weight - the whole bass only weighed 8.8 lbs. Its on EBay for a little more for obvious reasons. Shipped £20 UK. More if you’d like it insured. There is also the option of purchasing the original Fender case if you so desire for an extra £200. Thanks for looking!

All sold, bit by bit. Thanks for your interest everyone. REDUCED TO £3000. Nice round number! Really nice 70 P Bass that I recently purchased from The Bass Monkey (Paul Walsh) but sadly have overstretched finances so it has to go back on the market. It plays beautifully, set up with no shim, original pickups sound awesome, pots have been replaced with 1973 units, original ceramic disc capacitor. Original tort guard and tug bar. Previous owner commissioned a Swiss luthier to re-fret and level off a slight ski jump in the fretboard at the heel end. Neck has a fresh trussrod nut and the truss rod works smoothly. Neck has green batch code date stamp which is faded but appears to be a late 1969 code. Pictured here with oval tuners, but will go with its original clover leaf tuners. Comes complete with both chrome covers and OHSC. Fully insured shipping £100 to the UK EU £125 l also will be listing a nice lightweight fully loaded 1968/69 Ash Telecaster Bass body with original bridge, pots, knobs, control plate and neckplate.

I'm assuming this is sold, señor? Just checking, I am looking for a pre-1973 Jazz.

It really should be a round number so I'll reduce it to £2000.
