Muzz Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 OK, so I've long had GAS for a Year Of Birth bass, and it'd be a Precision, but it'd really need to be a maple board. From 1964. Does such a puppy exist? Any Fender experts out there care to elucidate? Ta, Muzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did I miss that one? The phrase 'very rare maple' might be an indicator, though. At $12500, mind, it'll be staying in the States with Norman. In Tarzana, Ca.

gary mac Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Being an old git just made it too expensive for me to even consider. So that's why I built my replica YOB over the winter months. Not totally period correct but reasonably convincing and didn't strain the finances too much. It's been seen before but here's a pic anyway [attachment=80543:complete12.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I don't think I can get a '68 MM Stingray... but I'd take a '68 Jazz bass in olympic white with maple fingerboard, if such thing exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I don't think the YOB bass I would want exists - I miss out by 6 months on a late '59 Jazz as they were first introduced in March '60 Although I don't know when the very first ones were actually built - I guess some may have been started in '59. . .
