73Jazz

nice rig! ahh..now i see..not many V6 players out there, welcome also here disssa (it`s me, Maurice)

Maybe an older package waiting in the store for you? The newr ones have no recognizable coating anymore, due to this i was surprised about that these were elixirs. your strings, were they shiny as normal steels?

[quote name='Doddy' post='1151643' date='Mar 6 2011, 06:16 PM']and within a week the coating started to flake off over the fingerboard and where I pluck. In fact,some of the coating got under my nail on my right hand,middle finger and caused an infection! I won't use them again.[/quote] The newer ones no longer have that disgusting coating

Imho just keep it as natural and passive as possible and you will find everything you are looking for

I would recommend the Yamaha NE-1, the magic weapon with a J bass, setup: shallow roundabout 1 o`Clock. Try it, you will get them cheap..the only thing a Jazzbass needs, sad thing about it..you will get them only second hand, as they are not produced anymore.

What matters is the difference

[quote name='KiOgon' post='1150676' date='Mar 5 2011, 05:13 PM']What Howard said Just checked my '57 AV case (came with V s/n P-bass bought last year) & it looks identical to OP's pictures, without the wear, + mine has a G&G - Fender original Case - label inside. I'd say it could be anything from '83ish to present, not much help am I? Unlikely to be '60s though![/quote] The inside material is different too. Just checked it. The case you see on my pictures has a really smooth, mellow material like orange plush the 57 RI Case is completely different to that

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='1150685' date='Mar 5 2011, 05:24 PM']Well I am not too far off 70 and can confirm that the memory fades.....or at least I think that's what I just said. [/quote] Don`t know for sure..but to avoid misunderstandings..what i wanted to say is, that i wouldn`t question what you have said. But i wouldn`t do that for the other gentleman as well. So it is me, who is confused and i am far from 70:)

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='1150670' date='Mar 5 2011, 05:02 PM']I find I'm in complete agreement with myself - just checked the 1982 tweed case I still have and all the details you have pictured match mine.[/quote] I am wondering, as i would never doubt your knowledge. The guy i bought the bass from is a very honest nearly 70 year old gentleman, who gave the case additional as a bonbon for free. So he has no profit of telling that this is a 1967 case. Maybe he mixed up with his other stuff or maybe there is a second truth.

With my 64 P Bass came a Fender Tweed case, the previous and first owner told me, that he is not sure, when he bought the case, must be around 1967 he said. As i know that there is a book like vintage price guide for cases, maybe one of you is able to date this case here more exactly or confirms the year 1967. I know only a little about vintage cases, so every hint you give will be really appreciated.If there is even someone how could say something about value, it would be nice too, if not no problem..i will not sell it:) just to have the information for me. Thanks in advance for your kind help here are the pictures. I do not know which parts are important for dating, but i presume colour inside and latches?

Noone has seen these before?!?^^

Hi Guys, today i received 2 of these straps with an old P bass. Does anyone know details about them, are the vinatge?maybe what years?or are these newer ones? What are they worth?Is anypone interested? Thanks in advance for your help

just arrived..it`s like coming home..my new 64 pre-CBS

yes they improved. i played on a bass 2 years ago, which had elixirs on it..i hated them. The coating was some kind of dim/grey and the strings seemd to be some kind of adhesive. 1 month ago i had some really good strings on a bass i played, i was surprised, they were really good and i didn`t know them..the bass owner told me that these were elixirs. If i remember right..the first ones were called polyweb and the newr ones nanoweb..
