No, actually, that was the year Leo Fender sold to CBS.
CBS changed a lot of manufacturing methods afterwards, with mixed results.
Pre 1965 Fenders are cherished instruments.
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

It's also worth experimenting with roundwound vs. flatwound strings.
Sometimes the deep solid fundamental tone of flatwounds blends better with other instruments. And others, the wiry grit you can get with roundwounds is just the ticket.
LaBella and Ernie Ball flatwounds are great for woofy old-skool thump while Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats and D'Addario Chromes have a springier, brighter, more modern tonality.
I'm not against active electronics or extra low or high strings, but they can cause the bass to take up way more space in the mix.
