[@newlightdancer]

Where have you been? I've been looking through the comments every GOTD upload!

[@Music10161]

I was hoping for Warpigs

[@mikeymojo8299]

Grant Higashi sometimes my comments drop off. KZbin bug

[@newlightdancer]

I should have added the "Mike M. ---" before my comment (my bad)

[@ethancastonguay5220]

Three great songs.

[@wtcornet]

Now that's a heck of a relic job 53 years in the making.

[@jeff1586er]

That's the only to make that otherwise you're a poser.

[@skeltergaming1643]

jeff1586er so true

[@daverando]

I don't play bass and I want that bass.

[@lw1381]

right!

[@michaels2136]

I play bass and I ABSOLUTELY want that bass.

[@samskijd]

Nikki Sixx took this,this one is awesome!

[@davidallen346]

Fender custom shop relic bass in today standard

[@colevanbalen7205]

still blows my mind the amount of knowledge Mark has on guitars, seems like he knows everything

[@babayaga1767]

cole vanbalen google

[@simonpreston1693]

Not Google, he only uses that for the makes he's less familiar with. He's an acknowledged specialist regarding a few makes...Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker, Gretsch & Martin.

[@barrysoetoro1543]

Prevagen???

[@TheBassplayinggoalie]

Jazz basses have always been my go to bass. Lot of range in tones. Simply awesome vibe.

[@tangoalfa1970]

Nothing like a Fender that's been there a done that.

[@blakevanhouten1672]

Coolest bass you’ve done yet.

[@thomasnettleton289]

That awesome narrow neck...and that TONE.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

I enjoyed the Ramble On. Tasty licks, lovingly played. Real mojo, not factory-made.😎

[@durster27]

God damn is that ramble on bass line smoooooth

[@fionabirkmire2874]

I’m in love with this bass, super tones, super vibe, it’s been places.... Marc, never seen you smile so much over a bass. Norm should gift it to you - you deserve it. Just fab! 👌🏻🖤 thank you!

[@lordjs9726]

Nice. I actually like the green color it has transformed into.

[@codywhite96]

Nice Bass. Love the "Pond Algae Green". This looks like a good bass to sell to Ron Blair! I bet he would like that Jazzy Goodness.:)

[@jasonbrooks633]

That is the coolest bass I have ever seen....and I am not kidding. Whoever owned that...it was their only bass no doubt

[@melvynobrien6193]

And some idiot commented that they'd like a refinish. How insane is that?

[@jasonbrooks633]

mel obrien ummm yeah....really insane

[@brewer9565]

The comments here are excellent and show appreciation for something real. In this poseur world of brand new ripped jeans and brand new relic guitars, it’s a beautiful thing to see and appreciate something genuine. Much love for this - even Thumpin Thursday haters have to stand back and admire this treasure. Great job Mark!

[@OrionsVantage]

That tone with both pickups on.....fucking so good.

[@johneason6540]

What! Think about the play history on that bass. Awesome as always.

[@GeoffreyGentryMusic]

I ain't no soothsayer, but I predict that this bass is gonna go real fast. That is fantastic!

[@stkbkr1]

As Jen would say "Byeeeee."

[@anthonynonya]

Oh wow. I've never wanted a bass more in my life.

[@beta14ok]

Perfect selection of tunes for the "Creature"....love this bass.

[@DietzCE]

Thanks for this demo. I forgot how fabulous an old Jazz Bass could sound. Plus the babes loved Jazz Bass players long time.

[@idleave]

That sir, is ridiculous!!

[@chiiitmeng]

That has to be the best bass I’ve seen on this show so far! I said “GOD DAMN!!” All the FEELS!!!...and I’m not even a bass player.

[@TheLocalZeroChannel]

Damn. Old Fender bass that's seen some playing. i always feel like the story of rock and soul and all that good stuff is right in front of me when i look at one of these. i think i'm in love. Again.

[@40spinup]

Holy shit that’s cool! My fav Thumpin Thursday bass to date!!!!

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Does this Lake Placid Blue Fender Jazz make you non flaccid? Ahhh (it's a cover soo).. 1.Hey Joe" 2.Rush "Spirit Of Radio" 3.Led Zeppelin "Ramble On"

[@catfishmudflap]

Yay! I have a jazz bass in my music room. Great show Mark and Jen.

[@francomatiasmarron1274]

I seriously think this is the best sounding bass in this youtube channel.

[@chrisbassani1152]

This bass is so rad: I love Guitar of the Day! I’ve showed the series to my friends at college (and they really love Jen)! My 20th birthday is tomorrow (5/18) and if it’s not too late to request a shout-out I’d love one: my favorite day is Flat Top Friday so I definitely lucked out this year! Rock on, guys -Chris Bassani, NJ (bus-on-ee)

[@PicksPaints]

That thing is just monstrously AWESOME!!! Lake Algae Green, and sounds KILLER!!!! Hey, what's this? a Thumpin' Thursday that I enjoyed!!! Bet that bass doesn't stick around very long! Congrats to the highest bidder!

[@Alanoffer]

Now that is a real relic ,,

[@thomasrichmond601]

Oh man, the 61 oh C-Mon maan lol , thanks Mark ✌️ and Jen 🌷

[@thai620]

That has to be the best sounding old J bass you have given us a demo on!!!!!

[@timothycormier3494]

Very well loved instrument. Somebody poured a lot of emotion into that thing. I bet if you play it right. It’ll tell you some of its secrets

[@ericfaley9019]

Dude that is fantastic. It vibrated my floor.

[@XLBiker13]

I'm typically happy when we pass over Thumping Thursday but even I want that bass.

[@slee6261]

That thing sounds amazing.

[@maurocezar02]

Beautiful ...

[@cpost1558]

Really liked the sound of that. Great song selection too. Im kinda getting into thumpin Thursday.........

[@shisharke]

I'm in love! (again)

[@phongle1564]

An instrument with a story to it, just lovely. @3:00 I wonder if any of the custom shop's master builders would think otherwise if they had watch this, man a replica of that finish would be so cool!

[@angryheb1]

Now that is a badass bass! Love it!

[@kenwinston2245]

Nice choice, very cool swampy vibe thanks !

[@christophermay4998]

Freaking rad bass......I like the minty stuff.....but the stories that a worn guitar would have is cool too.....nicely done as always Mark and Jenn......👍👍

[@johnwallace7694]

Shes been around some gigs i like it !

[@andy4731]

Awesome set list to match the vibe!🤘

[@daniva]

this is the most coolest bass ever, the sound and the look its amazing!!! I wonder how much cost.....

[@jodyhendrix5876]

Wow! Love it!!!

[@octopaul]

this thing sounds incredible, hope the next owner continues its legacy!

[@maxwellbrand]

Sorry to say that I haven't been watching as much lately, but I'm glad I caught this one. Ramble on is one of the only Zep songs I can really get into. Love that bass line! Play some Zappa some day...I dare you.

[@harveysbricksandcollectibl8736]

That thing is sick do so rad!!!!!

[@RockHardRiffs]

Blue, green or purple...sounded great

[@aspiniou]

Wish my usa 2015 jazz sounded and looked as good. That's a great bass.

[@och70]

It's not mint, but more importantly, it's not fake wear and tear on it from the custom shop. That bass is fucking gorgeous.

[@martingray165]

Sounds great!

[@Chrispy_tV]

I'm probably the biggest HATER of thumpin Thursday, HOWEVER I gotta give this one up to you bass guys! This guitar has IT. FUCKING RAD. Thanks guys! BYEEEEEE 🎸🔥🎸🔥

[@lazaglider]

Damn I bet that one could tell some stories. Coolest bass I’ve seen on here? Quite probably.

[@poopskipper4070]

FUCK! so much vibiness oh my God! You’re on a roll this week hoping for a sick straturday. Keep it up my brother

[@tinyb69]

That worn part on the upper body cutaway, is from the sleeve zipper of the former owners leather. Same as the wear on the back, all zipper.

[@timlilly]

As 4 string guitars go that's pretty amazing. 3 great songs too.

[@carlson123carlson3]

Screw the Hendrix Estate

[@goldwold]

Love it. You couldn’t make that up. Great song s.

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Mr.Stranger DUG

[@fenderjazz6213]

AARRG........it's beautiful....

[@fenderjazz6213]

Someone's started drinking a little earlier today......get some help little curtis.....

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Yeah man !!

[@fuzzcous]

Oh man, that bass has seen action

[@rorygallagherfanboy4456]

I'm really happy you played a Rush song but I wish it would've been a different one.

[@xxczerxx]

Do Fender still use paint materials that do this? I love the idea of paint changing over time. Also some of the coolest wear n tear I've seen.... Am I right in saying you'd never get a new guitar to do that over time because of newer paint types? I wish they made certain models from nitro

[@MrSaltycreek]

Nikki sixx bought it...pretty sweet bass

[@GVike]

My lord that bass has bigtime vibe

[@burnit5022]

Someone loved and played the shit out of it.

[@nosaj666]

Wow...

[@JJ-bm2jj]

That's Nice!!!!!

[@luizspindola]

This thing got maaad mojo!

[@riverweaverling7732]

Finally he did Ramble on I have watched all of the bass episodes hoping to hear it suffering through the bass

[@johngilbert1634]

Cool enough for its new owner, Nikki Sixx. Surely out of my price range.

[@stinkybojangles4128]

That is some really nice age on that thing!!

[@sturusk3620]

I wonder who has owned this.

[@lawrencevillegas7152]

Wooo!

[@TheRockyhockey007]

yeah Mark , get the Led out , and a little Geddy Lee for us Canuckleheads , don't know why their called jazz basses , they are thunderous rockers and obviously that one has been around , sounds great , and I love the pea green , ugly as sin just like real rock n roll ,

[@Oris37]

The colour (yes, that's the correct spelling) reminded me of my old Sherwood Green Strat...

[@melvynobrien6193]

Color colour couleur calor, wha'? Green is the colour of my true-loved PRS (that last bit needs work).

[@happyads]

Nice one mark great video,, have you seen Frank lately??

[@Snibborwocky]

annnnnnnnd... Sixx just bought it. Nice.

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

Looks like you could get a disease just picking that thing up!!! LOL Love it!!

[@barrysoetoro1543]

LOL

[@barrysoetoro1543]

It would be perfect for a Lysol commercial... lol

[@john564holloway]

The movie Lake Placid was about an alligator so I say change the color name to gator green...Nice choice of songs, Mark...

[@BuzzcutGtr]

Man, somebody L O V E D that instrument!

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket!

[@slappido9623]

I got 1965 fender jazz bass sunburst.

[@Grayham4]

GEEZ that tone with both pickups... Jazz bass on steroids

[@tomjohn3364]

That's a real players bass. That was someone's work horse. Looks very cool and just years ago if you wanted to sell it nobody would give it a second thought. Just a beat up old Fender. Now it's in vogue to have one so beat up. Gotta love the fact nobody used a can of spray paint on it.

[@greensombrero3641]

How about a little Peter Cetera, CTA early Chicago days.....let's not forget this fantastic band in the earliest days......incredible

[@johnhmaloney]

I'm not normally a fan of Jazzes, they're usually a bit too trebly for me. but this one has some nice midrange to it and I think that Lake Placid Green might just be cooler that Pelham Green.

[@braderrick]

Awesome bass and I’m not even a bass player lol. Look what good shape the case is in! Haha I feel there is a reason for that. Usually either the case or the guitar one is beaten. I doubt this bass spent much time in the case.

[@devilsdoorbell]

THAT'S the kind of authentic wear I love. Not a fan of the styled relics on new guitars, but this natural wear makes me feel funny in the bathing suit area.

[@lordimpaler3899]

That (to my eyes) looks like it faded to British Racing Green. Thanks...now I have to have a British Racing Green Jazz Bass. Great demo tho!

[@joebodynobody764]

Why was Larry the Cable Guy wandering around in the background?

[@ArtForm77]

Sherwood green😊

[@ItRagdoll]

SHEEEESSSSH. Purdy

[@gusdupree2508]

Lake placid spew , i like it " it's not the years ,it's the mileage "

[@gusdupree2508]

Curtis John Cole down the gaslight street

[@francesnieznay6623]

sounds great,if I played a 4 string I would want it,Badly.
