Owen Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) It is lush! My '66 came with a huge "F" stamped on the bridge cover. No idea if my cover is original or not, but the cover with this one is blank. It lush even without an "F" cover Here is a link to an auction for a 63 cover with an "F" [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1963-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-BRIDGE-COVER_W0QQitemZ180098357428QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180098357428&_trkparms=72%3A1298|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1963-FENDER-JAZZ-BAS...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Edited October 12, 2008 by owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P[/quote] ... and that one transaction was purchasing some screws for a 74 Strat/Precision/Jazz! Hmmmm I have to say that I'm not convinced by the wear and tear on the body of the bass and is it me or maybe the camera angle but is the view up that neck looking distinctly twisted or what? The tortie plate and the general look of the fingerboard look distinctly old but the whole listing/bass smells a funny colour to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It's attracted a few extra bids since I 1st saw it, but when I did I thought... shy for PayPal, very low fb and no reserve - hmmm. I know nowt about real Fenders so kept schtum. If he could link to his 400 strong fb account it might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6stringbassist Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 To me the wear looks odd, it's all on the face of the body, (looks a bit like a dart board). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd just have to email the other account to see if it was truly associated to him. You'd have to be a right mug to risk your 400 fb's for a mate knocking a scam. And yeah that neck does look a bit dodgy. You could possible say that the machine heads are making it sit at a funny angle and the perspective is bent by the camera, as I initially thought but I just a wee experiment. I put a loaded neck on my carpet and the heel sits flat on the floor as though it it never had any machine heads at all. YMMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 That bass is more fishy than a fishy thing that smells of tuna... a REAL '64 would have a start price with an extra (or maybe even 2) zeroes behind it. Its just wrong. At best its a re issue reliced, at worse just a reliced MIM..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebo1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I spoke to the guy about this, and he has said that I am more than welcome to come and look at the bass and perform any checks I like. It wouldn't be too hard to see whether this one was a 'good un' or a 'bad un'. On first impressions, I'd have concern about the finish, the covers and the straightness of the neck. Same as anything of this value (and age) you'd be daft not to go and check it out and take her to bits... I'd say the seller assumes it's genuine, but probably has no real idea of how to check that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Any idea why this would have been pulled the first time around? I can't remember the listing breaching any spamming/payment/PayPal conditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 he says in the listing, it was pulled because he said he PREFFERED not to be paid by paypal god i hate that website and their monopolising ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well someone must want it pretty badly, it's up to £3500 with 4 days to go! I sure hope the winner knows his stuff when he goes to collect, as I'd want to be ABSOLUTELY certain that was original and genuine for that much money.

They were using philips/crosshead screws on pickguards from 1952/3 onwards. And the mounting screws for tuners changed around 1957 to philips/crosshead.
