  1. I wouldn't expect a serial number on the headstock Check out some headstock pics, if you can't find any I have photos of ones that I've owned, that I can mail to you.
  2. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1472019801' post='3117651'] Another JG bass based blog up on the site today... Enjoy... [url="http://walbasshistory.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/jg-bass-special-pt-3-gallery-mk-1-jg.html"]http://walbasshistor...ry-mk-1-jg.html[/url] [/quote] I did enjoy, as always.
  3. Surprised to see that you consider the quarter pounds to not have punch. HAving said that I've not tried them in a Jazz but I have fitted them to a couple of P basses and they were very punchy. The best sounding Jazz that I've owned, was a Fender 66 with original pups. So I would happily recommend those. I have fitted Wizard pups to a couple of VM Jazzes and they were a worthwhile upgrade.
  4. [size=3]Jack's point is very valid. I would further add that if most of your playing will be in the sitting position, then a Precision is definitely preferable to a Jazz.[/size] [size=3]Best of luck with it and hope it helps in your recovery.[/size]

    Incoming!

    That looks a real cracker Ped
  6. It's looking great Rich.
  7. My current set up [url="https://flic.kr/p/KLTufd"][/url] Not one of my better photos but you get the idea
  8. I've played some loud gigs over the years, with very loud guitarists an drummers, using a variety of amps. As yet I've never had any of those amps anywhere near the maximum volume settings. No one would say that I'm a quiet, in the back ground sort of player. Just can't imagine how horrible your band set up must sound. Think I would have long ago walked.
  9. [quote name='dustandbarley' timestamp='1471972216' post='3117375'] and I didn't even phone UPS..... [/quote] Good man.
  10. [quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1471968583' post='3117335'] Daily Mail? [/quote] No, a card from my wife, she gave it to me on the day I was awaiting delivery of a Barefaced cab. How I chuckled and then the cab arrived damaged
  11. Now sold and heading off across the channel to a very decent chap.

  13. I've just had a wow moment That looks to be a classy product. Might have to put one of these on my Christmas list. Bugger, I said the C word and it's only August. Top quality review and pics as well.
  14. [quote name='LukeGTE' timestamp='1471638537' post='3114759'] Lovely bass that [/quote] A thank you and a bump
  15. [quote name='mrn1989' timestamp='1471943229' post='3117080'] What did you switch to Gary? [/quote] I went with Barefaced, although not 2 10's. I've got a Big Baby and a Super Compact. As yet I've not gigged the Compact but the BB has been impressive.
  16. [quote name='mrn1989' timestamp='1471941595' post='3117060'] Markbass Traveller 102P cabs come up second hand for £250ish each. The sound great and are the lightest 210 on the market, well worth considering [/quote] I loved my MB 2 x 10's and would still be using them, had I not needed to go even lighter in weight.
  17. I Found that my Dingwall sounded really special with a little contour dialled in but my vintage Fenders sounded better with the contour off.
  18. [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1471814227' post='3116143'] My 2015 Am Std Jazz what I got for nowt. [/quote] For nowt really? looks lovely.
  19. That actually looks rather good
  20. [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1471873503' post='3116566'] er, yes [/quote]We are old mates, would jam and go to gigs back in the 70's. Don't see each other these days other than on FB. A very fine chap.
  21. [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1471863643' post='3116408'] I have a funny story about Wishbone Ash. Basically I first saw them in about 1987/8 when they toured the original line up. They had another guitarist helping, because Ted Turner hadn't learnt all the set yet. My then G/F chatted up the said guitarist and went home with him. They got married. I met him years later and told him this. It's all very funny and a long time ago. He was at last nights gig!! It's always lovely to see himself [/quote] Are you talking about Jamie?
  22. I purchased a Mono Bass Sleeve from Bass Gear a few months back. The level of protection is impressive, along with the design, build quality and price.
  23. [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1471862803' post='3116394'] I'm not sure I'd want to 'downsize' to a heavier cab without wheels, rather than not turn the volume knob as high! [/quote]
  24. I've had mostly good dealings with them. I tend to either buy on one of their regular sale days or look out for auctions, rather than BIN.
