Buying new bass, need advice
-
18-09-2015 12:45am#1Hey guys. I would just like to have advice regarding authenticity of the bass I have my eyes on. I am not doubting or anything, just wanted to make sure what it is I am actually buying and also its worth
. Below are a few pictures from the ad that I'm looking at. To my understanding, it is an Fender American Standard Jazz bass but extra special due to the 60th Anniversary thing. Anyway, please do let me know if there anything I should know about this bass. Thank you very much 0

The amount of people who try to make out that a completely mundane instrument is special because of a sticker on the headstock pains me.
well our agreed price for it is around the same price for the other american standards on adverts. It is 50 euro more than an asking price for an american standard that I saw. I don't mind paying the 50 over as long as the item is genuine Thanks a lot though 0 -

I think pretty much every instrument made in that year (2006?) had the 60th anniversary stamp on it. The later 50th anniversary (of the Jazz bass itself) is much nicer IMO.
Well I was only looking to buy an american standard anyway as this is my first bass so wasn't looking on anything 'special' at all, just an american standard jazz. So the 60th anniversary thing was just a little bonus.
I have actually bought it earlier today and I really think that it's the real thing and that's all that's important to me. It's a lovely thing to play. I'm amazed.
Thank you all for your time

Glad to hear it's a good one!
Oh yeah. It really is amazing. All the bits and pieces are here as well which is why I am believing that it's genuine. The 'genuine' tag with the serial number written on the back..All the manual, stickers, tool thing, and even the cloth was there unused. Even the actual jack wire that came with it was there. I'm really happy about the purchase.
The guy I bought from was really helpful too. 0 -

The 60th Anniversary Jazz Bass doesn't exist (yet). It's not been around for 60 years yet! What you have is a Jazz Bass that was produced in the 60th anniversary year of Fender. So, there would have been a sh!t load!0 -
