20 years into the furure and some young players will be saying WoW those vintage 60's 70's 80's P&J Bass's were cheap in the 2023's cost of living crisis I sold a 1968 Gibson les paul for £500 many years ago along with a 1973 Pbass for £750 a few years later.. at the time I had a young family and needed the cash.. they both would have made great investments though...

Opps..no probs..you never know with online life whats real and what isnt..😉

Bog Standard Olympic White..Fab neck and excellent to play, pups are a bit weak in comparrison to modern versions but the old girls over 61 years old and can still do the job colour is a personal choice and makes no difference to the sound it produces IMHO 🙂

My 1962 Jbass:

Mucho Expensive...what happen to a bit of paper on the for sale board in a rehersal studio

Id be tempted to leave it out in the sun for an hour or so on fine summers day and screw it back on the body bit at a time and when it cools hopefully it will go back to its original shape...

In desperate need of a refin any colour but natural.. possible project for someone though

Most musos Ive met who own vintage bass or guitars do so because they love them.. money is secondary..

Being the owner of a vintage 1962, which I bought some 13-14 years ago the price has more than doubled now

Ive played and owned lots of bass's from Rickenbackers Musicman Stringray Fender Pbass (1973) and 1966 but I prefer Vintage JBass (1962) fantastic neck the pickups maybe weak but nothing a good amp cant sort out at least you get two pups with a Jazz unlike a Pbass which is one cut in two everyone has there own preference..theres a lot of choice out there 😉

all is work fine...😉

Many thanks for you help and guidence...😁👌

OK...😉

Thank you so much..youve been a lifesaver...appreciate your help👌😁

How about this beauty, Im a regular visitor to Norway, this came up there kind of version of eBay at time of posting (25 August 2022) the exchange rate would be roughly £17105 GBP Norway isnt in the EU.. in case you want to buy and ship..Enjoy https://www.finn.no/bap/forsale/ad.html?finnkode=270227663

Decal on the lower back of headstock..bizarre Bridge saddles are misaligned screw missing from tuner (G string) nice muffling /damping ( Not) on the first frets due to short scale strings ..looks like a DIY bodge job thats for sure..😬

probably been saying that since 1965 .. 😉

The US is the place to sell also Sweden and Norway..many living in those nations have large disposable income..even 1980s are becoming collectable now I believe Im a regular vistor to Norway most months.. one of the richest countries in the world

Buying a guitar or bass is always a personal choice, when I was young all I could afford was absolute rubbish instruments there is always something to suit all budgets, I personally love the older stuff... ps. bought a house first then much later bought the vintage stuff..

If I were a young player Id be buying.. yes you need to inspect them and know what youre buying ideally direct from the previous owner or a reputable retailer what one person finds expensive to another is fairly priced ...in 5-10 years time todays prices will look like a bargain..IMO

I left school at 14 years old, these things happened in the 20th century, my first bass was made by a UK manufacturer WEM who made amplification too I clawed my way up the ladder Fender Mustang.. Pbass.. Rickernbacker 4001 stero bass with stereo amplification..(I should be deaf ).. MM Stingray, eventually owner of a 1962 Jazz bass and Fender Stratocaster from the same year ...(not bad for someone with learning difficulties ) and zero education..

Lollipop tuners came out around 1966 I believe, those look almost new
