it looks like a true jazz body... the neck is how i like it 2/2 tuners the bridge reminds me of badazz havent a clue..

it either falls into the category of 'relic' on which i would pass or a collectable piece i couldnt value it but see it as an open market auction piece... see what its worth in the states and apply our rip off conversion rates..nothing to do with forex..and that might give an idea of its worth or look here [url="http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/our-catalogue/Fender/Electric-Basses/item/4082"]http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/o...asses/item/4082[/url] i suspect a touch over £2000 might get some takers...

getting more out of a pickup means getting a hotter one or turning up the gain on the amp i never went along with overwound pups..preferring good tone which could be amplified bartolini

many have endorsed them...and many like me wont use them again but for a freebie shot...endorse them anyway...and so you get to learn about them free it took me around 4 sets to go off them..the flats as well but i am a TI man so i am biased

electronic keyboard which is programmed for lots of different tones and sounds ours has clapping and hurricane noises we use ours to add string sounds and occassionally flute etc some of the sounds are naff clarinet and sax especially...i play both and my skin crawls when i hear the sounds better for electric piano, jazz piano, honky tonk and mainline keyboard effects you can change pitch by just pressing a button very versatile and goes lower than a 4 string thats why 5 strings were used by session bassists originally to get lower than the synths..iirc

Since playing five and six string bass, I have found myself hunching over the neck to see the finger board better. I've just tried (as a temporary experiment) wedging a piece of foam between my waist and the back of the bass body, and low and behold everything is tilting up at me and I don't need to hunch. So, does anyone else experience this and do luthiers ever make compensations in body profile for it? Or have I had too much coffee and am seeing an issue that no one else is bothered about? [/quote] i do that as well with a 5 and a flattish fretboard curve i hadnt thought of packing it out but sounds like a good idea i had thought of changing the strap fixing position to tilt the bass a bit going back to a 4 so i am hoping that will improve my 'sight' reading
