99ster Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Oh my goodness: [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-1961-Fender-Stack-Knob-Jazz-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ360035783175QQihZ023QQcategoryZ64400QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-1961-Fender-S...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] Interesting how much black there is in the sunburst - the one featured in the Entwistle book is also finished like this... [i]Apparently the OW left hander at the bottom of the page used to belong to Joe Long (from 'Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons').[/i] Edited March 24, 2008 by 99ster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Our old friend has yet another stonking bass! That neck looks 'too' good to be true... One point of note - In the past he has always made reference to detailing about pots, such as 'original untouched solder' etc using specific language (at times stating original pots but NOT stating untouched solder etc) and yet his listing makes no reference what so ever to pots or solder! He is quite meticulous in his choice of words (not overly detailed but 'meticulous') and I tend to look for what he DOESN'T say! Stunning looking bass though!

Paul Cooke Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 that "original untouched solder" can mean that the cloth insulation has been pulled back and the wires cut and soldered there... it is no guarantee that the pots or pickups are the original ones that came with the bass.

Funny isn't the word I'd use though I see he's had 6 offers. I wonder what abuse he poured out on to those poor unsuspecting individuals.

ednaplate Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I noticed the crosshead screws on the thumbrest appear to be different sizes. Is this normal? I was going to email the seller but I'm scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
