This is just me playing some random riffs on my fender bass v. I haven't seen a video of one on youtube so I decided to share mine. I apologize for the poor sound quality, but at least you get to see it. Mine was refinished to a metallic blue color prior to my acquiring of it, but other than that it is all original. The neck is stamped January of 1971, so this was probably one of the last ones made. It is strung EADGC, like it should be!

fascinating, whats the scale length?

[clerkfiesta]

@TimB4452 34" the body is extra long to make up for the short neck

This thing was way ahead of its time. How many frets does it have?

[clerkfiesta]

@WoWintosh 15 frets

What would you compare this bass too? a Jazz mixed with a Mustang?

[clerkfiesta]

@TheBlackOctane it has a split single-coil pickup, so i guess the sound is close to a mustang or musicmaster bass. the body and neck feel like no other fender bass though

John Paul Jones used this type of bass. Very rare! My congratulations!
