OldGit Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 More info here [url="http://www.lakesounds.co.uk/jazz/jazzbass.htm"]http://www.lakesounds.co.uk/jazz/jazzbass.htm[/url] I think that's great - as a player's bass. Priced about right at 3K, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think I've seen this bass. I'm originally from Barrow (about 10 mins from Ulverston) and remember a band playing a few years back with a very similar bass. Sounded as a jazz bass sounds, but I remember it sticking out in my mind as I'd never seen a vinatge Jazz in the flesh before. Good luck if you go for it!

99ster Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Looks genuine to me - with an honest description. Though, would always want to see it all in the flesh before parting with the cash. An ideal candidate for a nice restoration & body re-fin. Is probably a really great player's bass - from an outstanding year for Fender basses. Yes £3K would be a fair price IMHO.

Beedster Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You can't buy it without inspecting and playing it first. But do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I think the tuners are early 70's! He does mention that they as well as the strap buttons aren't original. If it was something you wanted to restore with a nice refinish, original tuners, nut, pots etc, you're probably talking an extra grand on top. If all of that gave you a refinish with all original parts '62 for £4k, then that seems about right for a private sale, if it was all original at around 8k (refinish=half off usually). Thats if you're bothered about all that malarky, if it plays and sounds like a dream, then just keep it the way it is! But it would be very cool!
