Man vintage (only ri's are in my price range) are really looking good to me lately. I'm a pbass man (kid) and the 62' and the 51' are really looking good. I like jazz basses fine but the 62' jazz is really looking good.

Is vintage looking good or am I just crazy, or both. lol

wikipedia on the 51 orig pbass

"Precision Bass was the first mass-produced electric bass. In its stock configuration, it is an alder or ash-bodied solid body instrument equipped with a single split-coil humbucking pickup and a 1-piece maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard and 20 frets."

I don't think the 51 had rosewood as a choice (I could be wrong), they sound full of *crap* (man that other word is needed)

This just in:

"The Standard P-Bass is sanded, painted and assembled in Ensenada, Baja California along with the other Standard Series guitars. As of December 5, 2008, the Standard P-Bass has been updated with CBS era-style decals, a 3-ply parchment pickguard and a tinted maple neck with rosewood or maple fingerboard. Other features include a split-coil hum-cancelling pickup and knurled chrome flat-top control knobs. Models produced before 2003 came with aged white Stratocaster control knobs."

The standerd always had the pbass knobs (knurled chrome flat top)

you know---? it does'nt have. they are black. i bought it over e-bay about a year ago. from a place in florida. he show me pitchures of it broken down the serial # and the stamp on the neck with the year it was made. not knowing a lot about vintage makes i asked him what year it was made to be like he said 70's he thought. he also said he bought it new from the factory in california before he moved to florida. i spent a lot of time reserching, the models it looked like, he also said in his ad that the red color was a hard to find, that fender only made a few in that combination, in 63. according to him he had it made to order, with all vintage hardware, and that color. all jazz basses i looked at from the 70"s had the blocked board inlays. mine are the dots. i ran the serial# and it is corect to 03. but that is all i could find out. it has the rose wood fret board, and a black pick guard with a white border. the jazz basses i found from the 60's era seem to all have the dots. he seemed vauge on the era, so i'm asuming it is earlier. did fender make two or more knob styles from that era? i don't know! it all works, just some questions linger, if you know what i mean! :?:

They moved to the 3 knobs (from the stacked) in the late 60's and they still had the dot inlays so it could be a late 60's, so mabey 63' was the year they moved I don't honestly know.

thanks for the replys. the only fender i'd had any knoledge of was a 58, and a 64 precision in that time period which i played extensivily. the 64 is still in the family, my older brother has it! he's 70 and bought it new. he refinished it years ago for some reason, probably because our older brother with the 58 did his. both of them were sun burst, and exactly the same. the older bro sold his 58 strat 56 tele, 58 p, and his 56 fender bassman, 10 yrs. ago for 9 grand. he had put the tele neck on the strat, and visa versa, he liked the action of the tele better and the sound of the strat so he swaped them, the speakers in the bassman had went south over the years so he replaced them with 2-12's it had 4-10's and we made p.a.speakers out of the 4-10's. he refin, the strat, and the pre, to match each other and left the tele alone it was blonde. he found out they would of been worth 3 times as much as original, but too late! so now in 2009 i'm trying to convince my middle bro to let me use his 64 p. the finish he done is next to nothing it is nasty! the wood is dry, cracking,3/4 gone, he dont play any more. it just sits in his living room buy his 60's sun 2-15 amp. it all still works! the strings on his bass are flat where they come in contact with the fretts! he has only changed them once! he still has the ones that were on new!
i still play out. it just kills me to see this piece of history sitting, he's been offered 1500 for it i told him it was better to keep it in the family, let me ref it again, to stop the detereration of it. he is thinking about it, so far.......
