    I'm liking this. I was listening to Jamiroquai as per the other thread but now I'm listening to these guys

    Such a great story and even though I was never a big Jamiroquai fan, I do really like Stuart's playing and he is a fab bass player with awesome tone so pretty amazing you got to meet and hang out with your bass hero. I'm not sure how good I would be at holding it together if the same happened to me. I recognise Pino to boot so if I was playing fretless (I only play fretless) and he walked in then I think I would crumble.

    I thought Marta was super talented but she did just disappear off the face of the earth. I hope she is still playing somewhere. Nicole Row from Panic at the Disco Hilary Woods from JJ72

    Most of the Fender's I have bought have been bought secondhand but there have been a couple that I played new in a shop that were exceptional. The first was a Mexican Fender Jazz 60's re-issue from around 10 yeas ago. It was a gorgeous dark sunburst and the build quality was superb. The tone however was on another level and it was so nice that I bought it. I eventually sold it to somewhere on here in Scotland and I kind of regretted it. The other was the Mexican Fender FSR 70's Precision. It has an Ash body, maple neck, US 62 Vintage pickups and I believe US hardware. Again, it played and sounded phenomenal and I bought it and still have it now but with a maple fretless neck.

    I once had an absolutely gorgeous Fender Mike Dirnt Precision is yellow that looked and sounded amazing. I got so many compliments from sound engineers and I adored the look of it. Probably close to one of the best looking basses I've owned. However, despite desperately wanting to love playing it, it was so heavy and the neck was so chunky that it just became hard work and tiresome to play and I grabbed my AVRI 75 Jazz instead. I still miss it now but even if I had it, I doubt I would play it.

    Also the Mustang bass is a great bass and played by so many.

    I do remember those Fender Jazz Bass Specials, they were gorgeous basses. Fender originally released the first fretless bass as a Precision with a maple or rosewood board in the 70's but I'd be happy with a Mexican or Japanese re-issue now. I actually have the Mexican Fender 70's FSR Precision which on its own is amazing but I got Shuker to make me a maple fretless neck for it and it is a thing of beauty

    I'm really happy that Fender have released these, they look lovely but I do also get what people are saying about it being nothing new. My regret is Fender still haven't released or even offer an standard/vintage unlined fretless Precision or Jazz. Oh well, that is life.

    Beautiful, absolutely beautiful

    That's so cool, please post a picture of the crackle red B20. Would love see it 😍

    I think the first bass I bought was a Washburn Force ABT bass in red with the lighting crackle design on it. No idea what happened to it but I know I bought it from Andertons in the late 80's when they were in their original building. I've also has a couple of Washburn AB20 acoustic basses. They were great basses but to me were a bit pointless if not fretless. Here I am playing one in 1998 that belonged to John Payne from Asia in his studio whilst recording an album.

    I had something similar at school as well. I wanted to learn to play the trombone around 1981. They put me in a room, played me The Beatles When I'm 64 and some other music I'd never heard, maybe classical. They gave me a written test. They called my parents into the school and basically told them I will never make a musician, I don't have a musical bone in my body 😄 Thirty Six years later, I've had a record deal, released multiple albums, written a piece of music used in an advert, done many tours, two John Peel sessions, a Virgin and XFM session, various TV and Radio shows and made a living out of it. Moral of the story, follow your dream and don't let anyone say otherwise 😀

    I absolutely agree, I would love this also but need to get rid of my fretless Fender Japan Jazz first
  18. Linus27
    If I had one of these I'd do exactly the same, looks awesome.

    Thanks for sharing Tony, the fretless sounds gorgeous.

    For sale is my beautiful Fender Made in Japan Traditional 60s Fretless Jazz Bass in sunburst from 2015 - 2017. This is a super rare bass which I bought from JamesTun on here back in July and is a fabulous bass that plays and sounds amazing. Condition is excellent with only a small ding on the back of the body as seen in the included picture by my little finger. The bass has low action, is super light, plays beautifully and comes with a genuine Fender gig bag. I'm slimming the herd a little as I'm not playing so much these days and along with other family commitments this is now up for sale. Based in Camberley and price is £725 which includes postage.

    Woohoo, I guessed right, do I win a prize, a 1957 Fender Precision in Sunburst, a Custom shop Fender Precision to my liking, my very own signature Fender Precision, a years supply of Rotosound bass strings of my choice, a signed Fender Precision pickguard, a night out with Natalie Imbruglia, a year of eating out at Nando's, a packet of wine gums?????

    Nate's tone when he was doing the second track with Brian and Lars was to die for. Not sure if it was a Metalica or AC/DC track but it was the second track they played. The verses were just bass, drums and vocals and it was phenomenal.
