Why not get a quote to have one made to your spec. Our very own bc'er henry norton is very helpful.

No school bass for us. But my mate let me use his 73 Jazz for assembly performances

[center]PRICE NOW REDUCED TO £1950.00[/center] [center]1975 USA Fender Precision Bass.[/center] [center]Complete with the original hard case and the Fender strap supplied from new.[/center] [center]This instrument is in exceptionally good condition.[/center] [center]The lovely original sunburst finish has only a few slight marks/blemishes.[/center] [center]Virtually no buckle rash.[/center] [center]All of the hardware and fittings are in great condition.[/center] [center]Truss rod functions perfectly.[/center] [center]Lovely chunky neck with maple fret board.[/center] [center]The vintage jumbo frets are good with very little wear.[/center] [center]It came to me with flat wounds and since then I’ve only used flats, currently D’addario chromes.[/center] [center]Width at nut is 41mm.[/center] [center]Weighs in at a very should friendly 9lb.[/center] [center]Chrome covers were missing when it came to me.[/center] [center]The input socket developed an intermittent crackle sometime back. I didn’t want to replace it due to the electrics being all original. However, I decided that functionality should come first and so replaced it with a quality Switchcraft unit. I still have the original, which can be supplied with the sale.[/center] [center]The volume pot also developed a crackle and occasionally would cut out. Once again, although I didn’t particularly want to change it, I decided that a replacement control would be worthwhile and ensure that the bass was reliable if I wanted to gig with it. The Bass Doc sent me down an original 250 CTS pot. I will supply the original, which could be refurbished. The original pot dated 38th week of 1974 can be seen in one of the photos[/center] [center] All the other electrics are sound. The pups are great. Tone control works perfectly.[/center] [center]Asking Price [s]£2,10[/s] price dropped to £1,950. It won't be going any lower, it's such a nice one, I'll just hang on to it a while longer.[/center] [center]Dealer prices for P basses of this age and condition are a lot higher.[/center] [center]Collection preferred and therefore I’m not at this stage quoting a postage price.[/center] [center]I’m in Hertfordshire and I’m happy for BC’ers to visit and try out, prior to buying.[/center] [center]I’m not in any hurry to sell this bass, so please, no silly offers.[/center] [center]Not after any trades at the moment.[/center] [center]If any more details or additional photos are required let me know, thanks.[/center] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6081068370/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6080533653/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6080533781/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6081068922/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510861043/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510662806/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510704474/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510688255/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510900963/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510917943/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510759244/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510767114/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510776554/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510967093/"][/url]

A couple of years back I got three sets of Hartke roundwounds for about £13.00 on Ebay. I was quite impressed with them really and for that price they were great. If funds were tight I would happily use them again.

Let's hope he has a full and speedy recovery.

Can a real man wear a...*Purple Metal Flake* Flea Bass?
gary mac replied to Chiliwailer's topic in Bass Guitars
Stick with the P's -
The container is not going to have any effect, so longs as the strings get immersed. I suspect that your strings are just too far gone. Time to splash the cash on some new ones

I didn't like the Ernie Balls I put on my G&L a while back, it's the only time it has sounded (to my ears) lacklustre. Order was restored with DR Highbeams. I fancied trying something different on one of my P basses and had an amazon voucher, so I've just ordered a set of D'addario Pro Steels. Cost about £15 with postage.
