99ster Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) A treat for all you vintage lovers out there... Following on from the lovely '1966 Playmate Of The Year' ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1543"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1543[/url]) - here we have her gorgeous older sister! My latest purchase - a very special 1965 L series Fender Jazz - 100% original. And clean as a whistle. Enjoy!

Sibob Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 That's beautiful!!! Where did you manage to find that? Bet it cost a pretty-penny! Nice one dude! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 That's just beautiful, the perfect bass as far as I'm concerned, and the same age as me too. My "Dream" bass now is a vintage Fender, Jazz or Precision, probably a good 70's model, anything older is out of my price range. If I came into some cash, that'd be what I'd be looking for. You lucky bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet it cost a pretty-penny! Nice one dude! Si[/quote] Thanks guys! That has taken me a LONG time to find...many months of rejecting other 1965's (& other years) until I was finally offered this one. Also looked at buying some from the US - but there's no difference in the price when you add on duty, vat & shipping. And I wish I could say I got it for a bargain price - but they don't exist...there are no 'bargains' for one in this condition. So I did cost me a LOT of money.... But it's what I've alway wanted - & makes a beautiful pair with my mint 66 Precision. I may well sell my very nice '72 sunburst Jazz now...not sure how much interest that would get here?

Hutton Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Many congratulations. Your patience has paid off in a big way. That is a truly magnificent example of a pre-CBS Jazz. May you have all health to enjoy it for many years to come. Edited June 11, 2007 by Hutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came from France - after many months of patient searching... & VERY large dent in my bank account. My 66 Precision is probably in even better condition - basically mint.

acidbass Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Another simply stunning example of a bass! This is how they should look IMO! May you have many happy years of playing it!
