#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 🎸🤘🏻
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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
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!
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'...
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!
This is approximately the 1192nd video on this channel since the channel was started back in 2008. I've watched em all. lol. About another 640 videos to get caught up.
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
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! 😂🎸🎸🎸
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
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)
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!

Let's de-rail this comment thread again 😂
Jacob Reece
LOL 😂
Wow! A gorgeous matching headstock, gold '63 J bass, and Rush on the same day! Thanks Mark and Jen!

wtf
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.
Shoreline gold. That was the only gold on the color chart in 63, beauty!
Great to know I got to see one of my favorite basses on my birthday!
G & L
panama jeff yes please.
Not even a bass player, but I love thumpin Thursday! :)
Long live Thump'n Thursday's!!!
Looks like shoreline gold to me. Thanks for another excellent video.
Nice to hear all that jazzz
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
Coolest bass I have ever seen!!
Holy shit, I'm in love!!
I live for #ThumpinThursday!
That is a great looking and sounding bass.
Great job Mark. I think your bass playing is absolutely fine. And that bass is crazy insane nice.
This is my dream's bass. JB with matching headstock are so nice.
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!
Beautiful Bass! 👍🎼✌🏼
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. 👍👍
Look if I'm sick I'll still watch this show lol :-)!!
Your right Jen...WOW..!!
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.

thumping Thursday is the only reason I tune in other days ... I doubt I'm the only one too.
That Jazz sure is pretty. As mark said, if that's Harvest Gold very rare indeed.
: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....
Mark, I hear you are a fellow Belmont alum - miss those days!
Thanks Mark, Hi Jen.... (Steely Dan)
Sooooo sweet that bass is..✌👍
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!
NICE BASS!!!!!! Hey mark please do another 1950 broadcaster.
Ow and nice shirt love prince purple rain and 1999 is my favorite songs
The Jazz is the best bass for sound and playability.That Jazz should be mine.
Best T-shirt ever mate
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 :)

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.
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.

Love the shirt!!!!
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 ☺
Nice shirt! The bass was pretty cool too... ;)
This is approximately the 1192nd video on this channel since the channel was started back in 2008. I've watched em all. lol. About another 640 videos to get caught up.
Love the shirt‼️
Awesome shirt!
I love thumpin thurs
love the shirt!!
I can dig it.
Happy THUMPIN' Thursday
everyone! Hey look, it's a bass!
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
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

Awesome shirt
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?
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.
I have two but now I want that one. Thanks. I'm about to go broke
this video is five years old, bass is long gone by now, but it kinda looks like Burgundy Mist to me !
IT's CHAMPAGNE !!!!
Who in the mother "F" gives a thumbs down for any of the GOTD videos?
Thanks for the Rush song
Although Harvest Gold was a colour commonly used for automobiles, it was never an official Fender custom colour. A one-off customer request, perhaps?
I love limelight
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
THE WOW FACTOR!!!
HOLY SHIT BATMAN
Happy late birthday Geddy
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.
Holy Snap look at that color finish imagined if John Paul Jones play that bass
Local Music store has a 63 NOS Fender Custom Shop factory reliced
Is mark a Rush fan? he seems to play it often...
Seal Clubton
He doesn't play it enough though😂
MusicLovinMotherFckr ikr
I'll take it. You comrades accept rubles, right ?
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)
Custom colors are the coolest fucking thing ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Lovely Bass. I thought the covers we fitted to stop interference.
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
That's a dandy of a bass.
I'm not a bass player but I would become one
play automatic by gg allin and the jabbers next time you do a bass review its a killer bassline
So .... I'll add my guess as to the original color for this bass ...
Alamo Beige (from '58 color chart)
Freaky le chique bass!
Nice Prince Shirt.....
It's Geddy Gold (tm)!
Mark blinks every time he talks hahah you alright buddy??
I thought in addition to killer looks, the covers also helped a bit with hum?
New camera? Nice
"Groove is in the heart"? LMAO
Awesome way to throw the trolls off of the scent!
Fucking Rush man!!! Super awesome
So I'm guessing Geddy's already been on the phone about this one?
Mark, why don't you love bass, you're trying to pass thursday.
2:37am, somewhere in LA: Mark bolts upright from a deep sleep screaming EQ's at noon! EQ's AT NOON!
I'd be really interested in the going price for an instrument of that rarity
Fender put these covers because they were reflecting the magnetic field over the strings better than without them. In theory the tone was better.
that's a beautiful bass...and a great performance from a non bass player
Very sleek and beautiful bass but I'm telling ya BTO Not Fragile would be a cool tune for thumping Thurs ! Just saying.
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.
NEED HIS SHIRT

That has nothing to do with the HARMONY ROCKET IN REDBURST that I want you to do for a GotD!!!
Limelight was recorded by soloing the neck pickup fwiw
