1963 Fender Jazz Bass, Total Original - $27000

[4SG]

Good news for vintage bass collectors! This 1963 Fender Jazz bass is a "total original" and only costs $27,000! As you can see, it has the totally original body stripped of bothersome paint, a totally original 4th amp knob that Leo Fender himself probably originally stuck on the pickguard next to the neck pickup, and a super-original white selector switch on the smaller horn.
Pics below!

Oy. No hootenanny button? Not what he says it is...

Somebody threw an extra zero in there.

Edit: Ok, so maybe a couple extra zeroes

Worst fake headstock decal ever.

Somebody threw an extra zero in there.

I'd be interested if they dropped 2 zeroes

Someone threw an extra two zeros in there..

Looks to me like someone scratched something off of the back of the head-stock. That's sometimes where a serial number is or "made in mexico."

 

[Misfit toys]

Idk... thats a common area for wear on a bass

 

[kesslari]

Does anything on that bass look like it was made by Fender in '63?

 

[Misfit toys]

maybe the straplocks?

 

[Slater]

Totally original amp knobs too!

 

[BassUrges]

Again with the bad stringing and screwy bridge? It’s like these fakers don’t have access to the internet to find pictures of basses.

Oy. No hootenanny button? Not what he says it is...

There’s some hootenanny gouges and a hootenanny discolored area, which I have to think are original.

 

[Misfit toys]

the headstock looks a bit chubby

 

[mikeswals]

Is that in yen?

 

[Michael4bass]

Not only all of the previous comments, but the pickup spacing is way off as well.

Bassically, Michael

Wait, so all you guys are saying I shouldn't have paid the full asking price? Dang!

That ad has been running on and off for months. Proof of the drug problem here in the states and the mental problems in California.
