Wow, great topic, took me right back to some very good times. My first bass was a 1962 Fender Jazz, purchased used in 1965 for $125 and, no, I don't have it anymore....darn it. I bought it from a Milwaukee garage band called Fluid. In 1968 it played on the main stage at SummerFest with our band, The NiteWalkers - its only claim to fame during my ownership, and it didn't even get paid for that! I sold it in 73 to pay the electric bill. No idea how much I sold it for. Talk about memories. But that bass is what started me collecting Fender basses when I picked it up again and, yes, there is an American Jazz in that collection, a younger brother.

I think more importantly would be to ask-- "What was your second bass guitar?"-- WELL THEN....since you asked..... my second bass was a 74 P bass which I still have.

1974 Mustang Bass, my sister bought it for me I got a home made amp from a guy across the street for a few bucks.
I was living above the business my father owned, he did not like the noise, He really chewed on me. I traded it for a mandolin in 1976, turns out the mandolin is a 1907 Martin.

I really would like that bass back... I can dream can't I :)

I have a Fender Kingman Bass I bought yesterday, I also have a Martin 12 string, the mandolin, and an Epiphone Dot.

I'm going to have to find a white Mustang bass :)
Sam.
