martthebass Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Chris...........if you ever even contemplate selling this I suggest you be taken outside and shot. Great bass, now where will I find a Feb 63 Jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Meh.....it's alright! I jest! Wonderful news I just got hold of an A series Jap Squier as my first foray into 'vintage' Precisions (I'm a Jazz guy you see), that alone is brilliant....so this must be truly sublime, especially with such a great life story behind it!. Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but is it the original case and appropriate candy as well? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Stone the crows! Stunning bass, you must be like a dog with two, er, appendages. Great story, perfect ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Guys, many many thanks for the replies. I've just wasted 20 minutes trying to reply to all in one post (i.e., quoting all), firstly falling foul of the 'too many emoticons' error message, then the 'too many quotes' error message, so I gave up. Just spent 4 hours with this baby and Stuart Clayton's Entwhistle transcriptions, and I have to say that the first few bars of 'The Real Me' sound as close to the Ox's tone as I'm ever going to get Clarky, it was insured before I left the shop mate C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 C'mon Chris .... No pics = no bass Stop playing and snap some pictures ... I am so lucky I don't like the Precisions they made in my birth month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakenewmanbass Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Chris I take it we can presume there is a significance to June '64, which makes [i]you[/i] a pre CBS model too doesn't it? Well done mate... now then... if after 6 months you return to Beedster form and let this go, I think for the sake of the forum I shall simply have to exterminate you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
