  1. Fender Bass V 1966 A rare bass indeed. Only about 200 made between '65 and '70 (although I've seen one or two from '71). John Paul Jones played one during the tour of '73 and it is said that James Jamesons was given one, but i've never seen any proof of him playing one. This particulair bass is in really good condition. Really nice sunburst. Beautiful dark rosewood neck. Everything is original as far as I know except for the case. The case is a newer G&G case which fits the bass perfectly (it's really hard to find a rocksolid case for these basses, as they are an inch longer than a p-bass). This bass even has the original pickups and bridge covers! 34" scale. 15 frets. originally intended to be strung with a high C. So the range is from low E tot a high e-flat. Just like on a p-bass. The only difference is that you don't have to switch positions that often. Currently strung BEADG with flatwounds. It sounds truly amazing! Really nice example! I've had three of these basses, sold the other two because I liked this one better. But now I found out that I prefer shortscale basses. This bass is perfect except for a scratch on the back of the bass and a blemish on the side. Asking price is 2500 euros I am based in The Netherlands [attachment=127571:Bewerkt-8.jpg] [attachment=127572:Bewerkt-9.jpg] [attachment=127573:Bewerkt-13.jpg] [attachment=127574:Bewerkt-14.jpg] [attachment=127575:Bewerkt-16.jpg]
  2. I've had three. Still own one. The Black one in Holland was mine, as was the 66 sunburst which was for sale in the same shop. Unfortunately I was scammed by the shop... the prices for which they sold were not my prices and I got only half of it.... The shopowner even had the guts to tell me he did me a favor! He made a 100% profit AND had a trade-in.. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SHOP! I still have a 66 sunburst which is all orgininal (including the covers) Non original but perfect fitting case (G&G, slightly longer than a regular case). Really good condition. you can PM me if you're interested.
  3. [quote name='4 Strings' post='1307953' date='Jul 18 2011, 03:22 PM']A friend has had a bereavement in the family and has some bass gear to dispose including a 1964 Burns short scale bass. Not sure of the model as I've not actually seen it. I reckoned ~£300 as its a short scale and so would have fewer people interested. What do you think? Was I close?[/quote] It really depends on the model I guess.
