    A couple of videos, one showing the scratchy pots, the other showing the exterior surfaces. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8ccOsRLSKfrUkdXRGlka3pTalk

    Am I right in thinking that the P pickup is closer to the neck on this model than it is on a standard Precision?

    I tried one of these at Windows in Newcastle a couple of years ago. It was lovely. I might have bought this had this come up a couple of months ago as it satisfies so many desires: 70s Jazz styling and comfort, 60s position rear Jazz pickup and a Precision pickup! Still tempted to be honest.

    Would a jazz body with a P neck suit you? I want to pair a P body with a Jazz neck. Maybe we could both benefit.

    Bump.

    Where are all the post-2012 Oly white/rosewood ones? Good luck with the sale.

    Shame it's not Oly White, I'd have bought it in a heartbeat.

    Here's a link to the manual if there's anything else you need to check regarding specifications: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52d881e0e4b093afad1a2ae2/t/54a313cce4b040ef97cdc499/1419973580300/Micro-Bass.pdf

    Do you mean XLR Direct Out? If so, yes, there's one on the left of the front panel.

    The only thing I've found worth bearing in mind when putting flats on a jazz is to not go too heavy on the gauge; some of the burpiness also comes from being able to dig in a bit harder on the rear pickup. I found with higher tension sets (such as fender 50-100) it was difficult to achieve. Better with D'Addario Chromes. 50-105s were still a bit stiff playing by the bridge (but I still love them, especially for the neck pickup); 45-100s seem to work better.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1490367244' post='3264663'] Ah, but what about the tuners and the fret wire? The material of the nut? The thickness and age of the lacquer?? These things can have a massive influence on tone you know... [/quote] He actually takes tuners from the rosewood neck and mounts them on the maple neck. (Though I'm sure your comment was intended tongue-in-cheek.) :-)

    Jasper Høiby is playing at the Voicebox and is stuck for an amp for his upright. Is there anyone who might be able to help out (or know someone who might)? Please PM me. Thanks.

    Hi, what kind of trades are you interested in?

    The pickup switching is different from how you've described it. There's a very good description and diagram on the musicman website here (scroll down and click on "control function diagrams"): https://www.music-man.com/instruments/basses/sterling It's worth noting that this model doesn't do the classic Stingray tone (which is the humbucker in PARALLEL). The HS model only does the humbucker in series. (The single H model does both series and parallel). Still a lovely bass and really cool to have a single coil with phantom in the neck position.

    Etienne recently bought my Precision Bass Special. It was a very smooth transaction. He was very trusting as he paid me up front and was prepared to wait until we could sort out the logistics as he was away on tour. I'd hoped to be able to deliver the bass in person but in the end we arranged for it to be sent to him via courier; this was a couple of weeks later. Furthermore, it was another couple of weeks until he was home and able to try out the bass. Throughout the whole transaction, Etienne communicated clearly and regularly. It was a pleasure to deal with him and I would not hesitate to deal with him again and I heartily recommend him to others. My only regret is that I never got chance to meet this man in person, he's evidently a really nice guy. Maybe next time. Thanks, Etienne!

    Got my hopes up there, until I realised they were 5-strings. Good luck with the sale.

    Argh, if you'd listed this a month ago I probably would've bought it. I just bought a Fender American Standard PJ. Stunning.

    Bump for a great bass. I had the privilege of meeting its owner this afternoon, who is a lovely and extremely hospitable guy and trying out this funky instrument.
