I thought the 61's had the stacked volume and tone controls for each pickup. The single master tone control didn't come out until mid 62. Did you switch to the control plate and potentiometers?
Superb playing. The bass sounds either compressed or one of "less fortunate" sounding. It is really interesting how some basses from that era are just noticeably more responsive than others (more general thought, rather than specific to this instrument). Vintage does not mean necessarily desirable (other than collectible)
Probably a 62. Fender transitioned from stacked knobs to three pots at some point in 62. John Paul Jones' jazz bass is a 62. That's the year he bought it.
What a treat! That’s the right way to demonstrate such an iconic instrument. Finally, not by done by an arrogant overconfident guitarist who thinks he can bass as well.
I can hear the years of experience. A pleasure to listen to. GREAT PLAYING LUKE.
Great sounding axe! Compliments to the professional bassist who played it!
Finally! A pre - CBS jazz bass.
Some very cool playing on this. Thanks.
What a great sounding bass and in no small part as a result of Luke Capon's playing! Wow!

This guy can play
Where is the best place to buy a guitar like that ?
How did he get rid of the buzz?
Andy this one has a very nice sunburst. not the usual 66 target sunburst. ;-)
Great video. Now I get why the early 60s basses are so coveted
Which strings were used on this Bass?
Sounds like Flatwounds
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i though 1961 had concentric knobs???

Its a 62/63.
Minimal compression? that bass sound too compressed
Как они надоели когда играют пальцами, а не медиатором...
Sorry, with this bass player it is impossible to note the tone of the bass...
Nice playing but very poor and boring bass tone.
