Just 3 questions

1. What's the width at the nut please?
2. What weight?
3. What's your address and when are you next going out?

Gorgeous bass. GLWTS.

That looks absolutely beautiful and in superb condition.  

 

Although she doesn’t know as yet, I’ve just completed an Autotrader advert for the wife’s car.....well she does keep moaning that we have two cars and only need one!  

 

Wish me luck with the sale!!!

Absolutely amazing 🤩

Wow - and such stunning condition too  

[Woody1957]

How on earth do these beauties survive an absolute mauling and the inevitable buckle rash....just amazing. GLWTS bud!

Could we have pictures of the neck pocket, end of neck, back of scratch plate, back of pickups and dated on the pots.

Many thanks.

I have had a lot of requests for more information on this Bass. I will provide more detail soon.

 

What I do have is the receipt I recieved from The Guitar Emporium  in Kings Road.

 

The serial number is prefixed with an L***

The receipt states that it is all original.

It also states that the Bass was "formerly the property of Bob Paisley and has been used on recordings and live work. " 

[spyder]

Thanks for the info.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

[WishIcouldplay]

BTW...it was meant to say Bob Daisley as the previous owner.

Looks like padauk board?

[known as Signal path]

The fingerboard is Rio rosewood

And I think ‘65 being the last year Fender used Brazilian Rosewood too.

My 66 Jazz has a lovely dark Brazilian rosewood, rather than Indian, board. I've definitely seen it on some (technically) 67-8 Fender basses too so suspect CBS were using up stock.

 

Beautiful bass though ❤️ GLWTS!

Leo Fender have a batch of testing bass with paduak between 65/66

 

My bad eyes cant tell with provided pictures.

Would be perfect to have clear one to observe the color and grain
