wally8 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi All [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-60th-anniversary-usa-precision-bass-with-hardcase-550-ono/1072155814"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-60th-anniversary-usa-precision-bass-with-hardcase-550-ono/1072155814[/url] This doesnt look like a 60th anniversary to me. Jack input is in wrong place for starters. Owner said he just changed the scratchplate. Anyone see a 60th anniversary look like this? if it is its not a bad price. I thought the 60th looked like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've got a 60th anniversary MIM Pbass, looks like a standard MIM (when the mods aren't on) with a metal 60th logo on the back of the headstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally8 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Cheers Charic. This fella reckons his is a USA - so if it was, i would assume it looks like the one in the picture in my first post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I think the actual 60th anniversary P bass was a special issue combining various bits from different eras (like my 50th jazz) but there is also a special metal plate on everything that was made in fenders 60th year, whenever that was? so these could be two completely different instruments. All that may also be nonsense but I'm too lazy to google the actual answer... Edited July 10, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally8 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Aha - so mateys may be a USA standard P bass made during the 60th anniversary year, just not the hunky super duper one in the picture on my first post Cheers Camdenrob - cor would love to be in the worlds end or brewdog at the mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It's a crappy pic, but it looks to me like the truss adjustment is at the headstock, suggesting MIM...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwoff Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yep, standard Fender practice for an anniversary - Release a XXth model whatever it is, possibly more than one so you could have a mexi and a USA version Also during that anniversary put a neck plate with XXth anniversary on every single standard one they make.

Oopsdabassist Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Sounds about right, I have a mex with a lil metal badge on back of headstock, plus diamond jubilee neck plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) My 2011 had a special 60th anniversary neck-plate, but other than that was a regular US Standard, no other marks to identify anything out of the ordinary. May be a case of trying to wangle more bucks, or a case of not realising it`s a US Standard. Depends on his Fender-knowledge I suppose. Looking at it, agree a pickguard swap, but the bridge is also wrong for a 2011 - they have the Fender hi-mass, whereas that`s a regular BBOT. I have my suspicions..........

dannybuoy Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've got a US Fender with the same 60th anniversary metal badge on the back of the headstock - it has different tuners to that one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I think it is an original version (c2003-2008) honey blond highway 1 precision with a changed pickguard. The 60th anniversary badge identifies it as being made in 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 A guy I know had a something or other anniversary Jazz bass. That was a mix of the best of every model ever produced over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
