I recently bought John’s Markbass Bass Booster in a totally faultless deal with excellent comms all the way through and next day delivery. Highly recommended and a super Basschatter

Another faultless deal with Alain. Highly recommended and a pillar of the Basschat community

Lovely and barking, Jack; as is the DB. It sort of reminds me of one of those cans of ham you used to see in the supermarket around Christmas time (or in subsequent Harvest Festival collections at school). Im half hoping there’s a giant key on the side of it.... Well done indeed

It’s not too bad and doesn’t feel too thick to me. Mind you, I play P Basses so I don’t think I’d be the best to comment. I’d liken it to the standard B width neck on 70’s P Basses.

I played one the other day in PMT along with the P Bass version. Fabulous basses, excellent build quality, lightweight, well set up and great sounding. The P Bass left with me but it was a close call

Phwoar, that’s a nice pair Michael. They look natural too! 😛

I'm working in London for the next few days and "happened" to find myself wandering past the PMT Store in Clerkenwell at lunchtime. They had a very nice selection of instruments but the two that caught my eye in particular were the Fender Mexican FSR 70's Jazz and P Bass. I have always scoffed at Mexican Basses because I am both ignorant and a bit of a gear Snob, but having recently purchased a Fender Flea Jazz, the scales have fallen from my eyes. The Jazz was lovely and looked a million dollars. It also sounded like a super Jazz Bass with the 70's pickup spacing: a good weight too. The P bass however, was something else.... I've never played a bass in a shop with such a low, easy action. Finish was flawless and the sounds I could get out of it through a cheapish Fender combo blew my mind. It weighs less than 8.5lbs and the neck is gorgeous and for a flatwound addict, I will absolutely keep roundwounds on this as it plays so well. The chap at PMT offered me a great deal and threw a set of strings in free of charge. I can neither really afford it or justify it, but have been looking for a backup for my main P bass to play is some of the less salubrious establishments in and around Bristol; andthis one fits the bill and may (may) even become my main gigging bass. They really are that good. It's not a faithful 70's replica by any means and anyone who knows anything about 70's Fenders would see straight through this one, but it's close enough for Jazz and looking like a genuine 70’s P Bass was not the reason I bought it anyway. If anyone is even remotely thinking about trying or buying one of these, I would say not to leave it too long as they really are stunners.

Another absolutely faultless deal with Pawel. This one was as easy as the first one. Highly recommended
