    [quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1341767137' post='1723798'] I don't mind blocks, but I'm with you on the dots and bound. [/quote] Yup, like them too! In fact, maybe I could put some Hipshot UltraLite ovals/paddles/lollipops/whatever on one of the Jazzes...Hmmmm...

    [quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1341755709' post='1723575'] I always look at the neck, because it looks gorgeous. I also love the silky feel of the back of the neck in my hand. [/quote] This! And he day you see John Williams playing a classical piece without looking, I'll be concerned about looking at the fretboard. The guitarist/bassist who can play a set without looking at some point has yet to be born. And if he was born, it would probably be a sign of boredom rather than 'cool as f**k', IMHO...

    They ruly are wondrous for the money. Having developed an unpleasantly inense thing for Jazzes lately, I was stunned, in Manson's the other day, to see the Squier VM 77 Jazz. It's on the llst...

    Stunning!

    Having had something of a Damascene conversion to the A necked beasties recently, I've decided that henceforth, all my basses, including the black Precision, will eventually have bound-and-blocks 'A' necks. For example the ex-Shockwave bitsa now wears an Allparts black blocks neck. Lee's (Rasta) jazz (swapping for 51RI tomorrow) has white binding/pearl blocks. When I can afford it, I'll get anoher Allparts black blocks jobbie for the P bass, thereby making it like the custom one-off shown on page 54 of The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History., except mine has a b/w/b pickguard. Anyone else as blocks-bonkers as this?

    I've owned one. It was great quality. My current bitsa Jazz has a really nice Squier body. But one thing really, really bugs me. If I wrote that I palyed a Fendre Precision, all would chortle merrily. Or Gisbon. Or Rickenbarker. So please, spell it right. It really IS NOT Squire, it is [color=#ff0000][b]SQUIER[/b][/color]. Rant over.

    Ah, I see! In fact, for a standard neck, it's now a bit deep! However, it works fine with the Allparts jobie that's on there now. I'm loving it!

    Squier, so far as I know, although there are no markings on it.

    Starting to look like a sunburst Geddy! [attachment=112414:Dsc00002.jpg] Still some work to do yet, so the bridge will be changed for a chrome one, and some Wizard 64's and a KioGon wiring harness will be installed at the earliest opportunity! [attachment=112415:Dsc00004.jpg] What's been done so far - new neck (thanks Higgie!) and a genuine Fender control plate in chrome. Just need a proper Fender string tree!

    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1341580252' post='1721254'] These are fantastic, I think the single most useful bass related gadget I've bought. Everyone knows about the tempo/key alteration and the bass enhance/cut. I use it for silent practice but it can also feed an aux input on an amp, I use it in conjunction with a 2.1 computer speaker at work. I even used it once for two basses with one amp for lessons - one bass in the normal input and one via the Tascam into the aux in [/quote] + the ome!

    Damn, trying to swap my 51RI for one of these - have suddenly had a Jazz Bass epiphany!

    Joel, I'll do the proof reading for a free subscription. Nothing puts me off a mag more than poorly proofed bits! Den
