Sparky Mark Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The condition is so good, I think you're going to need more pictures of the internals (pots, wiring etc) to authenticate that 1966 date. It's unfortunate the date on the neck is obscured by the red felt tip marking, has anyone seen this type of marking before? Doesn't seem to be in anyones interest to write over the date in this way?

Rumple Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I really don't know a lot about Fenders but I used to have a neck from a late 60's Jazz that the date was faded on and almost unreadable and it had red marker pen over it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Bump for a very fine bass indeed, I'm very interested, but the money is a little high for me at the moment for a CBS P-Bass, top money, but then it is a top bass. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Mark Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Precisely, it's the best condition 1966 bass most of us will ever see. As such it might even be undervalued at £3750. However, it is usual in these circumstances to have a few 'gut shots' as well as a photo of the inside of the neck pocket to back up the other evidence.

Secondly, I've seen what these go for in Denmark Street, but once you get into vintage territory it pays to be absolutely certain of everything. This just might be a bargain....can I say that?

[/quote] I've got a '66 CAR Jazz Bass... which has that very same red marker zig-zag over the date stamp. It hasn't obscured the stamp, which is clear as day right through the marker ink. Gorgeous P Bass. Dosn't look like the truss rod has ever been touched. I don't think that thing needs the 'internals' checking to authenticate the date. The details are spot on. *drools* .
