  1. I'm sure last time I did this, it was a case of paying the courier before they would complete the delivery to me. I would just contact the courier in the first instance Karl.

    [quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1431963133' post='2776653'] Come on I'll post mine too [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2015 Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass, based on the'64 custom model but with the added binding of the '65 and a flatter neck, similar to the Geddy Lee.[/font][/color] For me this is "The Bass", it has everything I have always liked and wanted on a bass, looks great, plays really well and sounds even better!

  4. Thanks Gents [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1432044115' post='2777498'] That looks a cracker Gary stick with it, they don't come around often in that condition have you got TI Jazz Flats on there yet? [/quote] It has got flats on John but I've no idea which variety. They have a mauve colour silk winding, as can be seen in the headstock pic.
  5. Actually NBD was last week but I've been away for the weekend, so it's a bit late. I wasn't planning to post this up but have been encouraged to do so by Discreet. So for the Fender fans, check out the pics down below. Although P basses are really my thing, I periodically find myself hankering after a Jazz bass. Every couple of years or so I've tended to cave in, buy one, play it for a few months and then move it on and return to my P basses. My past J bass purchases have mostly been Squiers, so I thought it was time to try a Fender. My preference is for old Fenders, so I started looking out for a 60's one. Anyway I spotted this one from 1973 and decided to go for it. It's all original (other than the pup cover) including the case. So far I'm very happy with it. I've set it up to my liking and it plays very well. The neck is lovely, with the added bonus of being block and bound, which I've always liked the look of. Fret work is great and no dead spots. I've only played it amplified at lounge volume, so I'm really looking forward to trying it through my rig in the not too distant. Right enough waffle, here are the pics: [url="https://flic.kr/p/sLnxpL"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/sNGaQi"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/sNudS5"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/sNu1by"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/sNFKmx"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/rRRrFk"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/sLkwCu"][/url]
  6. Great job, looks to be a worthwhile bit of modding.

    A fine Bass Chatter to deal with. No messing about, good communications and paid very rapidly. Highly recommended.
  8. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You will have to travel and sleep in an over sized van, but for me that would be no problem.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Blue that would be the deal breaker for me these days. Sod that. I have definitely got to the stage where I never want to stay somewhere that is of lesser quality and less comfortable than my own bed. [/font][/color]
  9. No worries. make you show us some pics when it's all done.
  10. Loads of good info here on all things Fender: http://www.guitarhq.com/fender.html#specs
  11. This is why it is a good idea to regularly practice amped up, rather than just acoustically. Any sloppiness can be a scarey thing when plugged in and playing at gig volume
  12. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1431369354' post='2770620'] Great, so the basses we have so far are: Maple Precision/Lozz196 Rosewood Precision/Seashell Rosewood EBMM Stingray/Jazzneck [/quote] Lozz, I could bring a G&L along again but only if you promise not to forget it and leave it languishing in its case (I'm not bitter really)
  13. I treated my wife to one of these for her jewellery making, comes in very handy when I undertaking work to basses. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lightcraft-LC8093EUK-Table-Magnifier-Lamp/dp/B00336VD18/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1431371628&sr=8-16&keywords=magnifying+lamp
  14. Black on black 74 that I had a while back [url="https://flic.kr/p/jzkoFe"][/url] I thought the gold anodized looked pretty splendid on this one that I built. [url="https://flic.kr/p/fk9MrP"][/url]
  15. I've bought a couple of p/gs over the years from that seller. All good and when I did have a problem with one, they changed it with no fuss. Agree with Mr. Discreet about avoiding the cheaper tort guards.
  16. Nice one Rich. Good price too, especially given that you got a case and lead with it. Seeing that the p/g is damaged, you can take the opportunity to fit a 3 ply black one
  17. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1431304734' post='2769858'] I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that you guys in the UK play 2 hour bar gigs and for us here in the States it's 4 hours. Blue [/quote] I wouldn't be able to do it these days Blue. It would mean retirement from gigging for me. I had to rest up all day yesterday to recover from a 2 hour 30 min gig on Saturday night
  18. Only ever use Duracells for all my devices.
