    Oooh my word, this looks interesting. Is the board flat or radiused please? i.e. enough to play with a bow?

    I have a couple I keep swapping back and forth between at the mo, namely 'Music Has The Right to Children' and 'Geogaddi' Im not a massive electronica fan, but do listen to all sorts. Id like to delve into the genre a bit more, can you recommend me some stuff? Are Carbon Based Lifeforms worth a listen? I noticed their albums seem quite expensive

    Jazz

    This is rapidly becoming one of my favourite basses. It may appear in here already, as it was purchased from a BC'er, a J&D jazz (I'm not a man of expensive tastes) in seafoam green (was the colour that made me go for it) upgraded with some Wilkinson tuners, bridge and control plate in black, and a Fender logo (who are they when they at home?). Since bagging it I've replaced the chrome pickguard screws with black, attacked the back of the neck with a rasp and sandpaper to slim it a bit, wirewooled the sticky varnish off the front of the board and strung it with a set of Status Black Nylons. It plays great and seems to be the bass I find myself going to at the moment. Love it. Even splashed out an a nice new leather strap for it

    Do you know the history of it? Only that's is fairly significant wear n the back yet those frets look like they haven't been played. That is absolutely beautiful tho, did you get the ashtrays with it?

    Thanks I think its high time I learned some about some proper stuff rather than just winging my way thru life

    Wow! that has taken really well, looks the business! So, you gonna try darkening a maple board next? 😬

    Not sure if I understand any of this thread. How can I find out more about jazz standards?
  18. sprocketflup
    What a cracking looking bass
  19. sprocketflup
    38mm nut? I always thought these had really thick necks

    Hi, the Fender humbucker is that a Jazz pickup? As you say the P pups are Bareknuckle?

    I'm in a Kate Bush trib, we do ok. We have a lot of fun, and make a few quid to boot. Whats not to like?

    My fretless is an Ibanez, (SRF700) and is in my opinion the finest bass I've ever played, so I have history with them. I nipped to Mansons in Exeter yesterday and had an hour or two noodling around on various Ibanezeseses, a few Yamahas, tried a Warwick Streamer, a couple of denominations of Music man stuff and one or two miscellaneous items, none of which seemed to sit right. I think I'm doing what I used to despair of in others - needing a P. (fnerk) Albeit with a J neck. The search continues. Loving the suggestions - many thanks all! In the meantime I'm also gonna look at Chris_b 's advice up there and see about bringing my existing bass back up to scratch.

    Thanks for all the recommendations so far everyone, I had chance to try a few bits and bobs out today, including a few Yamahas, not quite found 'the one' yet. Im gonna have to try and locate a Sire and a G&L to try I think. Well, that will probably happen as well at some point tbh…..but.....new bass! Ooh! yes that was a fun show, thank you very much for coming along, hope you enjoyed it
