    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='846958' date='May 24 2010, 10:20 PM']Okay, here's as close as I can get - I think I've got RSI now after doing this! Oh bloody hell, I just realised... It's maple, not rosewood! Back to the drawing board [/quote] HAHA thanks Rich. Good effort. Now if you can make it fretless also then its exactly what I am after

    Does anyone have a picture of red/burgundy/candy cola Fender Jazz with rosewood neck and black scratchplate. Would be really helpful if you can post pictures in here. Thanks.

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='846376' date='May 24 2010, 11:41 AM']Just resurfacing this topic... Ive been listening to the clips again, and as my Classic is no longer incoming, I was thinking of just getting a new 4 string Ray, single H. At first I thought it has to be 2EQ. Now listening again, I think Id miss the complexity and sheer grunt of the 3EQ. Its a tone Ive gotten used to for years, and all the bands I like normally have 3 EQ Rays to really blast through the mix. Thanks for these clips Linus.[/quote] You are very welcome. My take on it was this. I wanted a bass that would do big fat driving rock, something that a Precision would do. For me, the 2EQ was better. Its fatter sounding than the 3EQ and has a more simple tone whilst retaining the Musicman tone. The 3EQ has more versatility and more scope and would suit more styles. Both are amazing but I wanted a more simple Precision type appraoch and so it was 2EQ all the way.

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='846361' date='May 24 2010, 11:17 AM']Thanks Michael. It's a good one for sure and would match your eyes beautifully [/quote] Well, my eyes are green and at the moment very green with envy

    Man I love that Precision Nick. It would be sucidal if I asked to try it. I bet it also sounds stunning
  7. Linus27
    Bugger. I would have had this from you. Just not quick enough

    Thanks guys. I've played for over 20 years and recorded fretless before. Plus my ear is pretty strong. I just wondered if there was any material/books that might tell me something I don't already know. I'll just stick with what I'm doing for now then. Cheers.
  9. Linus27
    That is so accurate is scary. Great stuff.

    Can anyone recommend any good books/dvd for fretless bass playing/tuition. Amazon has a few but no idea if they are any good or not. Thanks
  11. Linus27
    I have 2 x GS112 and they really are amazing sounding cabs. I run them with my Genz Benz Shuttle 6 amp and I have no need or desire to change either.

    [quote name='Musicman20' post='837793' date='May 15 2010, 12:37 AM']I can chime in a little. I really wanted to like the ex demo Streamer 5 $$ I had for about 3 days but I just didn't gel with the neck, and more so first fret position. If you already know you like that, you might like the $$ as it sounds very different to the Stingray. Totally different tone to me. Hopefully this helps.[/quote] Hey Gareth, yeah thats a great help. My Corvette has a super thin neck. It did take me a few month to get used to the longer neck and the first fret position but now its fine. So how would you descibe the sound if nothing like a Stingray? Tight, punchy, clean, smooth. Would be really interested to hear your thoughts.
  13. Linus27
    I've sold my 75 Jazz so now I am thinking about getting a Streamer $$ or LX. I like the idea of an LX but its too expensive new and very unlikley I will find a second hand one in natural Ash. The other option is the Streamer $$ but again quite pricey new and again unlikley to find a second hand one in natural ash. I'm also a bit worried the $$ will make it sound too similar to my stingray considering it has the same pickups.

    [quote name='molan' post='837414' date='May 14 2010, 05:33 PM']I think this might have been mine for a while - very nice bass. Replaced it with an NYC Sadowsky which cost over a grand more but wasn't proportionally better![/quote] Hey Barrie, Philly now owns your lovely Fender Jazz that I bought from you. Is there any bass that you have not owned on here? :)
  15. Linus27
    I saw this bass last night and had a quick play and it is a wonderful. The neck is so nice with great action. Its also very light. When Philly pulled it out the case, it was a case of "WOW". Someone's going to get a very nice bass.
  16. Linus27
    [quote name='Philly' post='836897' date='May 14 2010, 09:35 AM']Yep will do Michael, had a practise last night and shes a beauty! Good to meet you too, I just have to sell one of the family now to recoup the money! I must stop looking at this marketplace![/quote] Really pleased you are happy with it, an amazing bass for sure. The thing I liked most was it was so reliable. You could plug it into anything and play any situation and it sounded great. A really good work horse.
  17. Linus27
    Now Sold. Many thanks to Philly. Great to meet you and look after her for me.
  18. Linus27
    Did we ever find out a price and what colour the bass is?
  19. Linus27
    Tell him under the laws setout by Ebay that the price it sold for is the price you buy if for. So unless he sells you if for that, you will not pay him any different and will leave negative feedback and report him to Ebay.

    Beautiful bass. I have the fretted version and its amazing. Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='essexbasscat' post='831839' date='May 8 2010, 11:29 PM']I would be happy to model it for free at my house for an extended term Linus T[/quote]
  22. Linus27
    [quote name='essexbasscat' post='831833' date='May 8 2010, 11:16 PM']There's only one thing that could make that bass look any sexier. have it modelled by one of your avatars Linus T[/quote] Not sure thats possible. All the girls in my avatar are busy tonight :) I could offer to model it myself but I think that would de-value it quite considerably
  23. Linus27
    [quote name='tom1946' post='831720' date='May 8 2010, 08:01 PM']And I suppose it has a nice low action and, it will be perfect for my small hands to play, sumbitch, why did I come on here tonight? Having a crisis... [/quote] HEHEHE erm, I would not say I have very big hands, maybe medium and its lovely to play. The neck really is beautiful. If I could afford to keep it and buy a Streamer I would but something has to go

    *** NOW SOLD TO PHILLY *** Hi All, Not sure I am doing the right thing here as I love this bass and I'll probably regret selling it, but I have major GAS for a Warwick Streamer. For sale is my MIA Fender Jazz 75 Re-Issue. It's a beautiful bass and the nicest, easiest bass I have ever played. It is effortless to play and has a wonderful Jazz tone. I bought this from Molan for £750 last year but after buying a Warwick Corvette earlier in the year, I am totally bitten by the whole Warwick thing and really have GAS for a Streamer. I am not after making any money on it so I would be looking to get back around what I paid for it from Molan. The bass is in mint condition as you can see from the pictures. No dents, scratches, buckle rash etc. However, there is a very small mark on the first fret between the A and D string. It can't be seen visually and does not affect the playing in any shape or form. Molan and I were both aware of this and found it did not cause any problems, either playing or adjusting the truss rod. I have tried to include a picture of the 1st fret but like I say, you can't really see anything. The bass comes with a Fender fitted hard case, new Elite Stadium strings and polishing cloth. I am based in Surrey and any inspection/trial is very welcome. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I would like around £750 for it plus courier at buyers cost. I am also willing to meet part way if not too far away.

    [quote name='Duarte' post='814523' date='Apr 22 2010, 12:50 AM']if you were to put him into a category I suppose he would be 'Classic Autism' - but when I started working with him about a year ago I was told he had "Severe autism, learning disabilities and other challenging behaviours". He can't speak, but can understand what is being said to him to an extent, whether he chooses to acknowledge what you say is another story! I firmly believe that he is a genius in his own right. He uses his little book (which is there in the picture) to point at a picture of something that he wants (usually a jigsaw puzzle, pancakes or 'the shop') and we can communicate by using hand gestures such as high fives or waving. I gave him my first ever bass, an encore P bass, and he loves it! ...however he just puts it in his mouth...we'll get there though![/quote] I really admire people like you who do this sort of work helping others who really can't support themselves. I think it takes a very special person to do what you do. Keep up the good work fella.
