1963 Fender Jazz Bass, Total Original - $27000

[4sight]

It's certainly an original, just not Fender, or 1963.

That extra knob looks like a superfluous nipple.

 

[2tonic]

Yeah, but.............TORT!!!

Is it just my phone screen's poor resolution, or does it appear there are no screws in the tuners?

 

[MEKer]

Glad you guys clued me in! Damn! I was going to offer a cool $35K just to make sure I got it in case of others bidding to the seller. whew...close call! So what should I do? Just offer only $100 Trillion maybe? Don't tell seller---it was like 300 trillion = $1 US dollar in 2008....worst inflation in history.

Shouldn't that seller be sued by FMIC for using the registered name Fender Jazz Bass in his ad?

 

[Kirk Bryant]

Is it just me? Or is the Ox on the Zimbabwe 100 million dollar bank note crying? He's a sad Oxen.

Did Fender make 50,000 Jazz basses in ‘63?

Father! Is that you??

I dig the colorway, but that's about it.

I was thinking about bidding $02.700000 for it

 

[Spidey2112]

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

Don't worry... he'll come down... or jump.

 

[Spidey2112]

The garbage bag he's using for a backdrop... I'm putting a bid in, before fall... of 2030, as both the bass and the backdrop will still be available, by then.

I feel kinda bad for the seller. They probably think they have an instrument that’s worth a lot of money, and as it turns out it has no value at all.

Unless they know what they have and are just trying to scam someone.

I would think the former, as that asking price is so ridiculous it borders on mental illness.

 

[Thaibassman]

The ad, being void of motivationals such as "minty", studio use only, previously owned by Jaco's long lost 4th cousin and not consecutively listed by 4 Japanese ebayers as being "in store and ready to ship free of charge " is seriously clouding my judgment to press that buy it now button.........................not!!

 

[Axstar]

The abhorent modifications are totally original.

I want to know what the extra knob does, what the switch does, and how much wood is missing between them.

No patent numbers under the decal logo on headstock.

It must be a prototype!!!!!

 

[klejst]

I'd pay $30,000 for it just to keep it a nice rounded even number...just sayin'...
