  • Description: It's a 1966 Lake Placid Blue Jazz Bass®. This matching headstock beauty has it all. It will ship with its original hard shell case. This splendid example has a neck date of July ’66 and is an “A” neck width. As you can see in the photos, the neck has the more desirable dot markers rather than the block markers which appear later in 1966. The neck is straight, plays great and the truss rod works as was intended. This bass has been professionally refretted and has plenty of meat left on the frets. The electronics and wiring are original and work as intended. The pickups measure (at the pots) 6.61 k ohms for the neck and 7.85 k ohms for the bridge. The potentiometers are all dated 1966. It is difficult to see (due to the solder), but it appears that they are coded 17th week (of 1966). All hardware and plastic are original and this baby still retains its ashtray and pickup guard. The bass weighs in at 9lb 9.8oz.
