0353203 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Hi All, Up for sale is my transition period dot and bound 1966 Fender Jazz Bass with its OHSC. It is all original bar a recent professional refret / new nut by Gruhn Guitars in Nashville. It has signs of play wear, mainly on the body rear with buckle rash and also cord marks. Weighs in at 8.9lbs and plays wonderfully well with a low action all the way up the neck. Trades for vintage Fender considered. Cheers, Si [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0729_zpsfwy36uke.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0721_zpsoa9hp3ak.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0719_zpsbjzrorqa.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0722_zpsxq4vimxl.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0739_zps9d20i30x.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0741_zpswws5xhzf.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0746_zpsh4nxtn1r.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0745_zpsdiwdhbik.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0743_zpsbiqdxuoe.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/1966%20Jazz%20Bass/IMG_0742_zpsr6euvvlp.jpg.html"][/url] Edited February 21, 2016 by 0353203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All any of us could know for sure is the neck was made in May 66. Could have been the 3rd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You learn something every day - I always thought that first number was the date - didn't realise it was a model number. Do you know the model number for the Precision bass by chance ?

william64 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1454743280' post='2972505'] Precision's are 5 I believe. [/quote] Right. My 1965 P is 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH161 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes indeed, from 1962-1968: 5 for precision, 7 for Jazz, 6 for Bass VI, 11 Bass V, 17 Mustang Bass, 18 Coronado bass and 23 Telecaster bass. Until 1969 when it all changes! Anyway, to get back onto the topic at hand, let's not forget about this lovely 66 Jazz for sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
