gary mac Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) [center]For sale, my lovely, 1966 Sunburst Fender Jazz.[/center] [center]With original Hardcase.[/center] [center]Not really sure I want to sell this as I am starting to enjoy Jazzes, but I do like chopping and changing and I’ve got my eye on another sixties one. This may get withdrawn if I miss out on the other one, or if I just change my mind.[/center] [center]This is a very good example of these increasingly rare dot and bound Jazz basses, only produced for a few months in 1966.[/center] [center]It is a pleasure to play and the neck feels great and there are no dead spots.[/center] [center]Lollypop tuners.[/center] [center]Very clean neck, dated 7[sup]th[/sup] Jan 66.[/center] [center]Frets and board are in excellent condition.[/center] [center]Neck Binding is perfect.[/center] [center]Headstock in very good condition.[/center] [center]Width at nut is approx. 38mm.[/center] [center]Fretboard radius is 7.25[/center] [center]Weight is just 8lbs 12oz.[/center] [center]The lovely tort guard has not cracked or suffered any breaks and is only showing very minimal shrinkage.[/center] [center]Neck pocket is a nice tight fit.[/center] [center]Hardware is all original.[/center] [center]The pots are original and function perfectly.[/center] [center]The pickups have been rewound by Voodoo in the U.S. using period correct wire and winding. The voicing is great and they sound so good, either blended or used separately.[/center] [center]The paintwork has been refinished in period correct target sunburst nitro finish, to an extremely high standard. The finish has now aged again in a pleasing fashion and it’s hard to believe it’s not original.[/center] [center]The case is scruffy but functional, the catches and hinges are intact and function as they should.[/center] [center]Although not shown in the photos, the original chrome covers and screws are included, I just hadn't re fitted them for the photo shoot.[/center] [center]Selling at £3,250[/center] [center]I’m not in a rush, so at the moment the price is firm.[/center] [center]I’m not really looking for trades other than for a good sixties P bass and ideally not a sunburst, as I already have one.[/center] [center]The above price does not include postage costs, as I much prefer collection with instruments of this vintage and value, we can however, discuss postage and insurance options if necessary.[/center] [center]Cash on collection or bank transfer.[/center] [center]I can accept Pay Pal but wouldn’t want to be hit with the fees.[/center] [center]I’m in Hertfordshire and happy for BC’ers to arrange a visit to try it out.[/center] Any questions let me know.

discreet Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) A total delight, and the very rare dot/bound/lollipop variant, as you say. Lovely condition, just the right amount of wear and some delicious tort. GLWTS! Where's Rumple? I think this may be his YOB bass!
