Fender Jazz Bass 1966 Sunburst Dots&Bound £5200

Selling my Fender Jazz Bass 1966 in sunburst "Entered Special"  

Specs:
Sunburst Finish marked "ES" under the pickguard beneath the bridge pickup (see below)
Rosewood board with dots and binding
Lollipop tuners
Serial 1658xx
Neck date 7MAY66A
Potcodes 6631
Original 66 hardcase

Non-original:
Frets have been professionally renewed
Pickup wires are replaced by shielded cables
Some screws here and there

Everything else looks original. Bass is ready to gig and perform and plays wonderful. Truss Rod turns easyly and the screw is still flush with the neck end. Body and neck are well worn, but nothing which affects playability or sound. I like the look&feel of real road wear.

Original Sunburst marked "ES" as "Entered Special" means:
"In 1966, Fender used the "ES" code a lot on their custom color instruments. At least for 1966, the ES code was used as some sort of default for custom colored instruments (be it Teles, or Strats or Jazz Basses). This two letters ("ES" for "Enter Special") seems to denote a special order, at least for 1966. Again this is has been seen lots of times on 1966 documented original custom color instruments. I have also seen the "ES" stamp on some 1966 sunburst instruments! (Perhaps these guitars were special show models, so extra care was taken in their finish.)" www.Guitarhq.com

The bass comes with original pickup covers and fingerrest.

Asking 5700 EUR plus insured shipping to EU from Duesseldorf / Germany.

This bass was made exactly 3 months after mine, thought it was the same day for a minute.
