Incoming Dearmond Jet Star!

[Pilgrim]

Couldn't resist this - bought from a gent on TB.  Should be here late next week.

Last year I owned 3 original 1966 Jetstar basses. I wish I had kept them because they are Killer basses, my favorite next to a Thunderbird.

isn't that the 'gumby' bass. glad it's not purple like your jazz bass.

[ack1961]

now, THAT is cool.

You are SO kind...in an elegant, backhanded kind of way.

I was going to way " what, another purple bass!?"  But Nofi beat me to the punch

Seriously, those are cool basses.  Was he selling the red one too?

[Pilgrim]

He had a red, blue and black still in the boxes.  The black is still available.....I seriously debated going for it so I wouldn't get hassled about the blue one, but I do like the color.

It would be cool if someone here ended up with the black one.

Very tempting!  But I took my daughter's 05 Subaru in for an oil change tonight and noticed that the transmission was slipping!   It looks like it might be low on fluid (please God let just be low on fluid!) and if that's the case I could do it otherwise I'll be selling blood...

Here's hoping it's just low fluid!

Fingers crossed for you!

I thought his price was reasonable.  Shipping to me was $30.

[Chris P.]

I once DIDN'T bought a purple one.. And it was cheap:(

But great score guys!

[Highlander]

Nice (and I promise not to infer anything about the colour )

[Droombolus]

Congrats ! I just know there's a JetStar II somewhere in my future .....  By way of some real vintage crooked logic I've convinced myself it's the proper tip of the hat to Zally Yanowsky ......

I first saw the white pickups in these basses on the Angela.com site, and they're usually for sale there.  I'm interested to hear them when it arrives.
