All of mine have been this 😉

Keep your bass how you like it and if the wooliness strikes again when using unfamiliar kit, back off some bass and dial in more treble at whatever amp you're given to use. Obviously I wasn't there but from what you've said that's what I would do after the first song.

Lick My Lovepump - Tap

Suits you. Congrats, that's a lovely bass.

Playing made me a better druggie.

I went to fit my chrome bridge cover last night but it didn't fit. The Jet bridge baseplate is a bit wider than a Fender. Foam under the strings it is then. No biggie. Sounds great with the TI flats on. Will sound even better once they bed in. The red silks really make the tort work for me now too so I'm keeping it as is 👌

Now I've got Tuba GAS. Thanks for everything Herbie ❤️

Miss Brown To You - Billie Holiday

Two Can Hive A Party - Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell

Congrats! I hadn't realised mine wasn't a jazz neck. I also assumed that they'd share the same neck ☺️ Cool. I suppose mine feels narrow at the nut to me because I was so used to playing an old full width Fender "C" neck. I'm loving this neck. So, two Jet P's down, both lightweights. Might be a thing... Have fun!

Wow that's excellent Silvia, good work! Thanks! Herbie was a great chap in every way.

It was Dave Richmond on the album, Herbie played it out live (he used Roto 88 tapewounds, not flats btw 😉). This thread on the other place is a very good read. Dave Richmond himself chimes in. Cool info shared... https://www.talkbass.com/threads/serge-gainsbourg-that-je-taime-bass-sound-again.1373990/

I've just finished listening to this interview with Carol Kaye from last November. Really enjoyed it, a great conversation. What a time to be alive that must have been! She's one of my all time faves. The interviewer did a great job here:

They are a different shape due to the deeper treble bout cut-away. A custom pickguard starts at around 50 quid so it's either keep it as is or paint the existing one. The tort is growing on me a bit now.

Let us know how you get on!

It came from the factory new like that I believe. Interestingly, it never received a nitro clearcoat which is why the blue didn't turn greeny (the metallic paint used at that time wasn't nitro so it didn't yellow on it's own).

Yup, the upper fret access is great. A welcome improvement 👍

A bit heavier then but kind of average for a J. They usually do come in heavier than Ps though don't they. Other than it feeling a bit heavy, are you happy with it generally?

Still waiting for the call from Noel but I'll report back soon 😄 I've been without a P Bass for a year and a half since I had to sell my 1965 Precision (Excalibur!...). That was "The One". Unfortunately, being otherwise skint and our house needing serious repairs, I had to cash in my chips there. The grieving process has now run it's course (sniff..) and I sorely missed having a P. This jet is a great bass and the fact it was so inexpensive is the cherry.

Yes it is, really pleased with that fact Marc.

Cheers Marc!

Funky Monks - Chilis

Just weighed it. In new money it's 3.7kg (which is 8.157lbs). I took a couple of very rubbish photos before I left for work (my elderly phone has a rather crap and colour-shy camera). It looks far nicer in real life! I've just noticed that the roasted neck has both flame and birdseye in the maple. It has that nice 3D effect when you move it in the light. You'll have to take my word for that though!

Gutted.
