Here it is again, plus another original example.

Hi All, Up for sale is my 1960 Fender Jazz Bass - the first year of production for this model, known as the "stack knob". This is a rare and fabulous bass, playing with a low action and super light at 8.1lbs. The price reflects a few alterations, as follows - I have tried to include everything for the purposes of full disclosure. It has a very old refinish (I have no idea who carried it out, but it is a fantastic job) both body and neck, a refret, changed nut and the bridge pup is a 1974 (the neck pup is the original). There are numerous dings and dongs in the finish and some larger areas of playwear on the body rear. The chrome cover screws and machine head screws are replacements (the chrome covers and machine heads themselves are original). Two of the machine head screws are missing (the heads have been sheared off and so the screw bodies are still in the wood). The original pickguard has a missing tip and the brazilian rosewood neck has a grain colouring which is very dark on the bass side, getting lighter towards the treble side. Neck stamp is 11/60 and serial number 67361. Pots date to 1960. Case is a non-original hard case. Feel free to ask any questions or arrange to come and have a look. I am happy to consider trades plus cash my way but only for other vintage Fender. Cheers, Si (I have included a photo of the bass sans pickguard etc a la Jaco, as I think it also looks very cool this way !)

Happy to consider realistic offers.

Hi All, Up for sale is my 1966 Fender Precision Bass with its OHSC. 100% original apart from a replacement pickup ash-tray cover. In terrific condition with a few dings, dongs and rear scratches and light buckle wear. Quite an example - the sunburst is still very vibrant. Lightweight at 8lb 10oz and plays with a low action all the way up the neck. Feel free to arrange to play/view with no obligation. Cheers, Si

Up for sale is my 100% original Natural 1975 P bass with its OHSC. Light for this period at 8.7lbs. In terrific condition - a few insignificant dings and dongs and a couple of checking marks in the poly finish (lengthy one on the body rear). Pots and pups date to '75 - case has one latch broken but is in great nick otherwise. Plays fantastic all the way up the neck - plenty of life left in the frets. Looking for £1950. Cheers, Si

Hi All, Up for sale is my 1963/4 Candy Apple Red Fender Bass VI with its blonde tolex case. 100% original apart from some very minor touch ups on the headstock. Original mute system (sans mute pad) and trem bar included. Rare indeed. Has plenty of checking, dings, dongs, dangs and scratches, but overall in terrific condition for her age. These basses are becoming increasingly collectable and prices have risen quickly over the past three or four years....they never quite caught on back in the day and so plenty can be found with reasonable gaps between compenent parts....this one has a '63 neck date and '64 pots as they were assembled to order. Any questions please ask and feel free to pop round for a play with no obligation. Cheers, Si

Now sold.

The story goes that a Fender employee started writing profane messages (rather than the date) on the neck heel, Leo got wind of it and banned the writing of anything at all for a short period. A bit like my eldest son and the cover of his English Text book, then 😍

No problem

Many thanks Kev - just pop a tenner on us reaching the final - that should cover it !!! 😂

HI All, Up for sale is my 100% original 1959 Fender Precision Bass with its OHSC. Sunburst finish, gold ano guard and maple neck - perhaps the holy grail of P basses. I've owned this one for some years now and although its not without its dings, dongs, scratches, play wear etc (see pics), overall it is in terrific condition for its age.....light also at 8.5lbs. Plays and sounds fantastic - low action all the way up the neck. The sunburst is still very vibrant and the chrome looks fabulous, very few signs of tarnishing. Like many other '59 Fender basses and guitars, no neck date (the mythical reason why is quite amusing) but 59 body date, pot codes and serial number. In summary, a rare bass in enviable condition & priced competitively. Cheers, Si

Hi All, One for the Fender collector here - my 100% original 1966 Bass V with its OHSC. This is an early one, as Fender started making these during the summer of 1965 - and moved to block inlays mid way through 1966. As hopefully you can see from the photos, it is in terrific condition with only a few marks here and there plus one or two dings and dongs (some evidence on the rear of cable marks, albeit very faint). The sunburst is still very vibrant. Unfortunately, the rather unusual dimensions of the Bass V have meant that most are plagued with neck issues, and this one is no exception. The action is set quite high to avoid any buzzing (approx 5mm at the 12th) - any lower than this and it buzzes at the top end like Arthur Askey in full swing (especially the E, A & D strings). The truss rod has given all it has to give. It would need a compression refret to fully fix, I would imagine. Alternatively, you can sit and stare at it lovingly, as I have done for many years !! Any questions, please feel free to ask. Cheers, Si

I live near Woking, birthplace of Paul Weller, Delia Smith, Sean Lock, Harry Hill and Peter Gabriel. What a combination 🤪

Hi All, Up for sale is my practically unplayed transitional period 1965/6 Fender Jazz Bass - one or two dings and dongs but hardly a mark on it. 100% original with OHSC. Lightweight at 8.8lbs. Collector grade condition. August 65 neck date, early 66 pots, typical transitional features. Priced to sell. Cheers, Si

Two cups of tea and a malted milk biscuit
