kevin_lindsay Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Well, I guess some of you may have seen the thread I posted regarding the Shell Pink refinish? It's literally like a thin skin Fender factory finish, and the bass sounds more "open and woody" than it did with the original thick nitro Fender finish on there. Here's a link to the thread detailing the refin: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165861-fender-usa-62-jazz-bass-refinish-at-home/page__fromsearch__1 So, why am I selling the bass? The reason is quite simple, I've bought another brand new USA '62 stack knob reissue, and I'm going to refinish this one is Surf Green! I'm looking for £900 delivered in the UK. Here's some pics of the bass, I live it, but I have to let if go unfortunately!!

(new ones now sell for over £1,700 in the UK!! yikes!!!) Edited February 15, 2012 by kevin_lindsay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just drove to Edinburgh and the Shell Pink Jazz Bass has a new home! The bass was bought by John and he seems really pleased with it. John, it was really nice meeting you, and I hope you have loads of fun with the bass (hope your wife likes it also!)

haimesy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks Kevin..I think she might give this one a name , god forbid ! ...Love it...John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Great! Incidentally, if you do decide to change the pickguard, you'll need a '62 reissue one - NOT the '75 reissue I mentioned!! The outer edge screwholes are in different places on the '62 and '75 versions you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
