pepone2401 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi guys Time has come to introduce a third bass of mine. This is for me a especial one. As you must know , I'v already introduced in this forum my virginal Precision Bass "L" Series 1965 in Oly white color... Here is its sister... wich isnt as virginal as the other one... But this one I dare to play it !!!! Here is a 1965 Fender Jazz Bass L Series with a very little wear... When I first tried my other Jass Bass (the 1968) I though it wouldn't be possible to get better tone with a Jazz Bass... but, but... When I've heard this one I've hardly believed what I was hearing... In adition, This 1965 PB has the most incredible neck I've ever played... I don't like to explain too long how I got it, as a matter of fact, the guy I bougth this bass from, needed the money, and there I was... It isn't something to be proud or ashamed of... if I wouldn't bougth it, the owner would have to sell it for still less money that I've payed for it. Back to the bass, I'd like to say that Pre-CBS instruments are not only a myth Yes Sir... Pre CBS Fender Instruments are really thousands of miles ahead of anything manufactured after 1966.... I can't explain it but, there is an alchemy in the know-how of this era, that they won't be able to reproduce never again.

His name is Tony Carbonare, basse player of "Groupe Machin" (The Thing Band), a very popular underground french band during the seventies !!!! They recognised the bass, and told me that this instrument had a nickname "La Cancoillote". "Cancoillote" is the name of a French Stinky chesse.... They brushed up on tons of anecdotes, but I think that I won't be able to translate this kind of french humor !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
