Fender jazz bass american special, part ways or not?
Mickeyboro replied to Alexbass444's topic in Bass Guitars
You don’t say what your musical style is…and thats important. If it can’t be done on a decent Jazz (and yours is) then I don’t think its worth doing - in my musical world anyway. Maybe you feel you want a more exotic visual image? -
Yet another CD (not seedy!) transaction that went perfectly! Bravo Rob.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

Will definitely catch you! Saw the Doobies at Southampton Guildhall early 74 (first band I saw with pyro) and then at Knebworth later that year. That was with Bill Payne on keys. Beat the Allmans that day, and were better than Little Feat when I caught up with them. So a lot of love for the Doobie Bros here. -

Mahogany natural finish double cutaway guitar - the UK’s handmade answer to Gibson’s Melody Maker. I have owned this since the mid 80s but it’s rarely been out of its hard case as I became more interested in four string. So any battle scars were inherited! . Frets: 22 Fret size 1.5 x 2.5 mm Fingerboard: Rosewood Nut: Brass Nut width typically 45mm (base of neck 54mm) Pickups:1 humbucker (Coil Tapped) Machine Heads: Schaller Comments courtesy of @Lozz196 who sold one many years ago - I don’t think I can say it better… It only has the one pickup, but due to coil-tapping and a tone control that actually works well, a variety of different tones can be coaxed from this guitar. It is very lightweight, so is very comfortable to play for long rehearsal sessions/gigs. Great guitar for rock - AC/DC type tones simply scream from this guitar, as do Johnny Thunders/Buzzcocks punk tones.

A history of the SXSW festival in Austin through the eyes of journalist Oliver Gray. RRP £14 - new copy £10 posted NOW £8 Review excerpt: Oliver Gray is currently active in promoting Americana acts in the UK, having retired from a teaching career. From 2003-2023, he imbibed his favourite music via flying visits to the legendary SXSW (South by Southwest) festival in Austin, Texas. The two decades saw him graduate from naive tourist to expert in navigating the event's unique format, making friends (and sometimes enemies) with promoters, managers, fans and musicians as he went. This handily-sized paperback draws from the many reviews he sent back to UK publications and websites, augmented by retrospective comment. Creative recycling, to be sure, but lovers of the Americana genre will wallow in this as if in a warm bath.
