#ThumpinThursday #GOTD #63FJgoldielocks 1- groove is in the heart / Deelite (Bootsy) 2- talking in your sleep / romantics 3- limelight / RUSH what up mark, what up Jen 🎸🤘🏻
I used to own that, bought it at a music store in Longview Washington in 1982, and sold it to Norm in 1984 (for $1500), it can be seen in Norms book on page 77, the music store had changed out the original Fender flat wounds, putting them in the case, and in the process of putting on new roundwounds, they took off the mutes, and the gold paint stuck to three of the mutes, pulling the finish off the body, the mutes were in the case also and you could see how each one could fit back into it's spot with the paint chips lining up, at the time my partner and I had 6 different custom color clay dot jazz basses, and this one was by far the best playing of all, with a perfectly straight neck. I believe it is Shoreline Gold, as we had other pre-CBS Fender guitars in Shoreline that were the same color, an exceptional original example that just happens to play and sound fabulous also.
That is a nice bass! And I thought looking at the thumbnail. Ugh. It’s Thursday. I’ll watch it anyway. .. I am glad I did. Nice Dee Lite groove. Or Herby Hancock maybe according to the other guy. Great job Mark and Jen!
That looks like pink gold colour to my eyes. It might have some light green as well. I like the bridge guard, very cool. Mark bangs it out on Thumpin' Thursdays- yeah baby.
eriko222 Song #1 was also sampled/replayed as the bass line for Dee-lite's "Groove is in the Heart". Probably more familiar to people than the original from the "Blowup" soundtrack.
Mark: Never do away with Thumpin' Thursday! It's required viewing for my fellow bassers and I. We love to see 'who can 'guess the bassline' in five notes or less. I'm sorry you're just a guitarist as we all think you bass really well. Of course we get a chance to see great instruments put to the test with the perfect amp. I'm just a working class guy (well we all are in my little bass coffee posse). If were ever to win Megabucks I'd be coming over to meet ya
3:00 "You had Foam Green, you had Surf Green...." Yes! The official vintage Fender color back then was Foam Green, NOT Seafoam Green. Foam Green is the actual name on the old color charts, but everyone calls it Seafoam Green. Thanks, Mark!
YOU DISPARAGE THUMPING THURSDAYS ~ NICE JASS ~ WHAT A BEAUTY ~ THE FRONT IS SOLID ~ THE BACK IS GREAT ~ THIS BASS WILL NOT LET GO ~ VERY COOL ROCKING BASS ~ ME LIKE LOTS ~ L SERIES ~ CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA
That's something, ain't it? Spend a lot of money on a bass from 1963 that looks brand new. Or spend a lot of money on a brand new bass from 2017 that's a relic edition that's made to look like it's been played hard for 54 years. I dunno. Me, I'll take pristine like new every time and take care of it and let it age naturally over time. Relic is for posers. This bass is effing beautiful - somebody loved this bass. Thanks Mark!
Hello Mark, I have been researching and I found an official Fender Custom Color chart from 1963. The only gold from 1963 was Shoreline gold, so this bass had to be Shoreline, and not Harvest gold. I am not saying the rarity of Harvest gold swayed Norm's decision, but you know :)
Peter Hey Peter, I have been looking for a way to find the colors , stock and custom from year 1 until present. If you could help a bit I would appreciate it. I'm in my 60s and have only been on the Internet for a few months. TY
Top 10 things Mark needs to do: -Cliffs of Dover on a '57 Strat -Xanadu on a Rickenbacker Bass + 12-string Doubleneck -Back on the Chain Gang on a 60's Tele -Comfortably Numb solos on a 70's black Strat -Refugee on a Rickenbacker 620 -La Villa Strangiato on an ES-355 (preferably white) -Go Your Own Way on a Rick Turner guitar (or a white Les Paul Custom) -Mr Crowley on a Jackson V -Long Distance Runaround on a ES-175 -Black Dog on a '59 Les Paul Just sayin'...
Can't we have Norm do Thumpin' Thursday? He was a bass player when he wasn't playing keyboards wasn't he? (sorry, it's been 6 months since I read the book)
THIS is the best GOTD for the following reasons. 1) Its a bass 2) Its a Jazz bass 3) Its a gold jazz bass 4) Mark throwing down the good info 5) Jen is in it 6) Rush 7) ITS A BASS
Agree...you should make Wed & Thur just open days. Open to whatever cool stuff you have around. The other 3 days are good as is though. BTW. Does Jen play guitar? Because I always ask for a reverse GotD. She plays. Mark records :) If she don't then teach her.
OK Mark so you are not steve Bailey mbsc but who can play even Bass as good as you / and then the smoke u put on guitar .. your bass is just fine , like fto watchum all . Thanks
Jacob Reece hey Jacob, hope you are doing well. I just got back from a trip to San Diego, I went by Norms on the way down. They want $40,000 for it. So in all actuality you were correct lol It was beautiful in person , I would be afraid to own it . Even though I couldn't afford It.......peace
Fender jazz 62 WOW! may need to check my math here: GOLD spot price $18,724 / lb * 7.5 lbs = $140,000 would be a 59 les paul equivalent. So still pricey indeed. so it cost approx 1/3 the cost of gold per pound. what a discount! 😂🎸🎸🎸
So, from seeing it in a video (which obviously isn't in person), and not exactly being the expert you guys are...it's looks like Shoreline gold to me...Norm thinks it's the rarer color, which I assume would make it worth more. I'm not suggesting anything but, perhaps that's swaying his opinion? : ) Just saying...Awesome bass all the same!
#ThumpinThursday #GOTD #63FJgoldielocks

Great to know I got to see one of my favorite basses on my birthday!
I used to own that, bought it at a music store in Longview Washington in 1982, and sold it to Norm in 1984 (for $1500), it can be seen in Norms book on page 77, the music store had changed out the original Fender flat wounds, putting them in the case, and in the process of putting on new roundwounds, they took off the mutes, and the gold paint stuck to three of the mutes, pulling the finish off the body, the mutes were in the case also and you could see how each one could fit back into it's spot with the paint chips lining up, at the time my partner and I had 6 different custom color clay dot jazz basses, and this one was by far the best playing of all, with a perfectly straight neck.

Wow , that’s so cool !
Holy shit, I'm in love!!
I live for #ThumpinThursday!
Great job Mark. I think your bass playing is absolutely fine. And that bass is crazy insane nice.
That is a great looking and sounding bass.
This is my dream's bass. JB with matching headstock are so nice.
That is a nice bass!
And I thought looking at the thumbnail. Ugh. It’s Thursday. I’ll watch it anyway. ..
I am glad I did. Nice Dee Lite groove.
Or Herby Hancock maybe according to the other guy.
Great job Mark and Jen!
thumpin' thursday is soooooo essential.
That looks like pink gold colour to my eyes. It might have some light green as well. I like the bridge guard, very cool. Mark bangs it out on Thumpin' Thursdays- yeah baby.
Coolest bass I have ever seen!!
Looks like shoreline gold to me. Thanks for another excellent video.
Nice job! Romantics-Talking In Your Sleep was one of the first albums I ever owned. 45 single, I still have it in my vinyl collection. 👍👍
Beautiful Bass! 👍🎼✌🏼
Hi Mark, Hi Jen! Love you both.
Man, that is sweet. I don't even play bass and I'm in awe of that one!
Not even a bass player, but I love thumpin Thursday! :)
Nice to hear all that jazzz
Shoreline gold. That was the only gold on the color chart in 63, beauty!
Long live Thump'n Thursday's!!!
Your right Jen...WOW..!!
Look if I'm sick I'll still watch this show lol :-)!!
Sooooo sweet that bass is..✌👍
1. Bring Down The Birds, Herbie Hancock
2. Talking In Your Sleep, Romantics
3. Limelight, Rush
Happy Thumpin' Thursday!
You forgot the "Hi Jen!"
No soup for you!
Pannemat shit

Let's de-rail this comment thread again 😂
Jacob Reece
LOL 😂
Mark, I hear you are a fellow Belmont alum - miss those days!
Love the shirt!!!!
Love the shirt‼️
Best T-shirt ever mate
Awesome shirt!
Nice shirt! The bass was pretty cool too... ;)

Ow and nice shirt love prince purple rain and 1999 is my favorite songs
love the shirt!!
3:00 "You had Foam Green, you had Surf Green...." Yes! The official vintage Fender color back then was Foam Green, NOT Seafoam Green. Foam Green is the actual name on the old color charts, but everyone calls it Seafoam Green. Thanks, Mark!
because seafoam green is the colloquial name for that color outside of the world of guitars lmao
Thanks Mark, Hi Jen.... (Steely Dan)
NICE BASS!!!!!! Hey mark please do another 1950 broadcaster.
That Jazz sure is pretty. As mark said, if that's Harvest Gold very rare indeed.
I can dig it.

Awesome shirt
Happy THUMPIN' Thursday
everyone! Hey look, it's a bass!
:O The bridge cover also had a 'mute' piece of foam in there. Not sure for what, but there you go. Love me a matching headstock Fender though....
thumping Thursday is the only reason I tune in other days ... I doubt I'm the only one too.
I love thumpin thurs
Thanks for the Rush song
Is mark a Rush fan? he seems to play it often...
Seal Clubton
He doesn't play it enough though😂
MusicLovinMotherFckr ikr
That's something, ain't it? Spend a lot of money on a bass from 1963 that looks brand new.

I'd be really interested in the going price for an instrument of that rarity
The Jazz is the best bass for sound and playability.That Jazz should be mine.
G & L
panama jeff yes please.
Top 10 things Mark needs to do:
-Cliffs of Dover on a '57 Strat
-Xanadu on a Rickenbacker Bass + 12-string Doubleneck
-Back on the Chain Gang on a 60's Tele
-Comfortably Numb solos on a 70's black Strat
-Refugee on a Rickenbacker 620
-La Villa Strangiato on an ES-355 (preferably white)
-Go Your Own Way on a Rick Turner guitar (or a white Les Paul Custom)
-Mr Crowley on a Jackson V
-Long Distance Runaround on a ES-175
-Black Dog on a '59 Les Paul
Just sayin'...
I played a black 70s Strat once. I don't know any Gilmour solos, though.
Can't we have Norm do Thumpin' Thursday? He was a bass player when he wasn't playing keyboards wasn't he? (sorry, it's been 6 months since I read the book)
I thought in addition to killer looks, the covers also helped a bit with hum?
THIS is the best GOTD for the following reasons.
1) Its a bass
2) Its a Jazz bass
3) Its a gold jazz bass
4) Mark throwing down the good info
5) Jen is in it
6) Rush
7) ITS A BASS
Agree...you should make Wed & Thur just open days. Open to whatever cool stuff you have around. The other 3 days are good as is though.
BTW. Does Jen play guitar? Because I always ask for a reverse GotD. She plays. Mark records :)
If she don't then teach her.
this video is five years old, bass is long gone by now, but it kinda looks like Burgundy Mist to me !
I have two but now I want that one. Thanks. I'm about to go broke
mark can you do a lefty please?
Happy late birthday Geddy
I love limelight
Local Music store has a 63 NOS Fender Custom Shop factory reliced
2:37am, somewhere in LA: Mark bolts upright from a deep sleep screaming EQ's at noon! EQ's AT NOON!
New camera? Nice
IT's CHAMPAGNE !!!!
what's Bonamassa's opinion on what color it is? surely he's a "collector who knows what they're looking at" haha.
Jalan Hart whatever colour it is its obviously not Joe's thing or we wouldn't be seeing it here.
Lovely Bass. I thought the covers we fitted to stop interference.
Bro why u keep complaining about thumping Thursday?! It's an essential stringed instrument and it's awesome. It's rock n roll man show us some love
Pyscho Clown yeah I'm a guitarist but bass is the foundation of music. Guitar is just the icing on the top ☺
THE WOW FACTOR!!!
HOLY SHIT BATMAN
Is it Polymist Gold maybe? Or is that strictly Gibson? It looks similar to the gold Firebirds
This was episode was scary quiet. I'm so used to store noise in the background.
How much does this cost?
Where'd you buy the t-shirt, Mark? I wanna buy one!
Found it : bestideasindustries.com/products/produced-arranged-composed-performed-by-prince-helvetica-list-shirt
So I'm guessing Geddy's already been on the phone about this one?
I'd wager most people don't like Thumpin Thursdays because they can't hear a goddamn bit of Mark's playing while watching on mobile.
robotsongs you're not supposed to listen to music with cellphone speakers
there's rules to music now?
Freaky le chique bass!
OK Mark so you are not steve Bailey mbsc but who can play even Bass as good as you / and then the smoke u put on guitar .. your bass is just fine , like fto watchum all . Thanks
"Groove is in the heart"? LMAO
Awesome way to throw the trolls off of the scent!
I bet that costs as much as a gold bass
Jacob Reece just love that sense of humor
Fender jazz 62 Haha thanks. It's just a mindless comment. I'm glad you appreciate it. 🙂
Fender jazz 62
😂
Jacob Reece hey Jacob, hope you are doing well.
I just got back from a trip to San Diego, I went by Norms on the way down. They want
$40,000 for it. So in all actuality you were correct lol
It was beautiful in person , I would be afraid to own it .
Even though I couldn't afford
It.......peace
Fender jazz 62
WOW! may need to check my math here:
GOLD spot price $18,724 / lb * 7.5 lbs = $140,000 would be a 59 les paul equivalent. So still pricey indeed. so it cost approx 1/3 the cost of gold per pound. what a discount! 😂🎸🎸🎸
So, from seeing it in a video (which obviously isn't in person), and not exactly being the expert you guys are...it's looks like Shoreline gold to me...Norm thinks it's the rarer color, which I assume would make it worth more. I'm not suggesting anything but, perhaps that's swaying his opinion? : ) Just saying...Awesome bass all the same!
Haha from the thumbnail I thought it was Inca Silver
I thought shoreline aswell tbh but I'm not an expert
Holy Snap look at that color finish imagined if John Paul Jones play that bass
Custom colors are the coolest fucking thing ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Who in the mother "F" gives a thumbs down for any of the GOTD videos?
That's a dandy of a bass.
So .... I'll add my guess as to the original color for this bass ...
Alamo Beige (from '58 color chart)
It's Geddy Gold (tm)!
Nice Prince Shirt.....
I'm not a bass player but I would become one
Do a Taylor if you guys have any
Although Harvest Gold was a colour commonly used for automobiles, it was never an official Fender custom colour. A one-off customer request, perhaps?
Yeah, Mark might not be a “bass god”, but at least he does a good job of showing you a little bit of what the bass sounds like.
Still waiting for a Burns Marvin, Gibson Victory & Harmony Sovereign.
The bridge pickup is oddly hidden for a non-70s Jazz.
I'll take it. You comrades accept rubles, right ?
Does Fender know what color it is?
I miss Freddy.
play automatic by gg allin and the jabbers next time you do a bass review its a killer bassline
new shirt?
NEED HIS SHIRT
