I think then we’re saying the same thing a different way!

I’m not an expert but I didn’t thinks that’s how OMG worked… On L1000 forward switch is the pickup in parralel, middle single coil and rear is OMG - which is essentially series with the bigger bass and treble you expect with series - Leo then wired a cap to send the treble to ground - leaving the massive bass boost of series but without the top end

I’ll leave this here for you Owen - they ship to Wales https://www.andertons.co.uk/g-l-usa-clf-research-l-2500-lake-placid-blue-caribbean-rosewood-fingerboard-l2500-clf-lpb-cr?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=CjwKCAjwhOyJBhA4EiwAEcJdcZRn9a2jli7Y75YSiM1PJBiqP3Y36ZD3r23jAdJwnDDjF9GVekX5tRoCVV4QAvD_BwE

The catalogue above lists the neck wood as Bete- which I think is what we would call African Walnut

Untill we see the critter on a tuning peg it hasn’t happened!

Or if it’s the other type this guy is doing custom colours - just ask not to drill… https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PICKUP-COVERS-burn-orange-custom-made-to-fit-5-string-MM-factory-type-/143938166582?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Also - try amp blocks on own without cab. Some of the cab sims sound mushy

I almost don’t think I should question bassassin - but I think that the JD range are very recent ones made by Dyna. the fender japan range seems to had a bit of a reset in the last 2-3 years with differet series and model names so it’s possible they changed manufacturer?

Trying to correct the typo in my post, unfortunately you quoted it before I managed it. but this is pointless chat - get recording so we all can hear this technological terror

who quotes themselves?? Mistake post

(Which if you are, stay away from eBay and digimart so you don’t buy another two or three of them!)

Andy - you’re drunk

See I thought that, and then I saw a photo of one in its case - the headstock fit perfectly in the corner of the case… I imagine in the 70s that was Apple like packaging and product design!

How’s it play? How’s it sound? Short scale?

He’s going to find it hard enough to not get a new bridge and scratchplate for it, let along get it refinished!

That’s what’s annoying about fenders - you might play 100 to get a good one

Which says something about (my) GAS… Fullerton! 60s! 70s! “I mainly play the Mexican…”

Hold up… a what?!
