  1. I've not tried the JM ™ or TT to be honest as there isn't any stockist's that close to me but I love Fender Jazz Basses so I know I'll get on with a TT. I will try and get a play before I order though. They do seem to be cheaper on German websites even with delivery. Got to be blue or pink then. The Roquefort Blue looks really cool with hardcore ageing. [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calt-series/caltt"]http://www.sandberg-...lt-series/caltt[/url]. I think that is a custom colour although its not in any of the colour guides. I'm going to have sell my Fender Deluxe Jazz bass before I can get this though.
  2. I've been gassing after a TT (used to be JJ) 4 string for while and might have to pick one up new as I don't think I can't wait until a 2nd hand one comes along as they seem pretty rare, mostly JM4's on here which isn't the tone I'm after. Can't decide whether to go for aged though. They look great but it does seem a little odd to actually pay extra to have it scratched up. From what I can see aged seemed to be pretty popular for resell, not that I'm thinking about that now but you never know. Was thinking light blue, red or possibly even pink, hardcore aged. Any thoughts?
  3. Nice bass. If I had the cash I'd snap this up, good price for that bass!
  4. Just received a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass which I bought of Geert last week. Well packed, shipped quickly and reassured me all the way, even sent photo's of the items packed up and ready to go. Great priced bass and he even turned down a better offer as I had contacted him first. Top chap and really good bassist too! I would have no hesitation to do business with Geert again.
  5. No probs Neil I understand it must be difficult. Perhaps try and put more photo's and expand the description a bit like has it got a case etc which may help get a buyer. I don't think many guitars are selling at the moment though so don't take it personally if it takes a while, not many people have got much spare cash at the moment.
  6. Neil, as I said before I was just pointing out something that didn't look right so you could confirm the reason why. 4 Bolts are more desirable so this will make it more valuable if its a genuine original 1976 guitar. It may even be an earlier year. Most people on this forum know their stuff and would have asked the same question before parting with £1600 for a vintage fender. Perhaps you'll have more luck on Ebay.
  7. I thought it was 1974 when the Jazz Basses went to 3 bolt. I've certainly seen a few 73 Jazz basses recently and all had 4 bolt necks. I'm not trying to cause you any trouble either Neil, just seemed a bit odd to me. EDIT - According to Fender the 3 bolt came in 1974.

  8. I'm no expert but I thought that Fender stopped using 4 bolt necks from 1974 and changed them to 3 bolt. All the 1976 Jazz basses I've seen have had 3 bolt necks. There has been a fair few through here recently. I'm sure someone more experienced than me may be able to shed some light on this. I guess taking the neck off would probably tell the year it was made. Is the guitar all original as your description as quite vague.
  9. Hi Neil, if its a 76 Jazz bass shouldn't it have a 3 bolt neck?
  10. Its me. Can't wait to get it next week!!!
  11. Yeah I thought that when I saw it on Ebay the other day.
  12. Have a Sunday bump. Great looking guitar which I sure someone will snap up soon if they haven't already.
  13. My Jazz Bass is a pleasure to play but I must admit I love the powerful tone on the Stingray. I have a deluxe American Jazz with Active/Passive options and much prefer the sound in passive mode. I find the thinner neck much faster although I small hands so its can see they are not for everyone. Got massive GAS for a vintage Jazz and looking for the right one now. Very tempted by Simon's 1976 J bass although I really want an 1973 or earlier.
  14. That's a great looking guitar and a good price. Simon really know's his stuff and is a thoroughly helpful guy too so highly recommended.
  15. Afternoon, does anyone know a good luthier in the Salisbury or surrounding area to get my bass guitar setup correctly.
  16. Neither Amazon or myself accept that form of currency I'm afraid
  17. I've got a copy you can buy if you want? Got it for Xmas, watched it and really enjoyed it but don't think I'll watch it again so was thinking of selling it.
  18. Thanks Karl, cut in but looks like you are correct. Much appreciated. Offers considered as new guitar needs funds.
  19. Now Sold.
  20. Thanks Louis, I'll get that ordered I think its not a bad price on Amazon.
  21. Thanks. I think I need to do some more reading and get my head around the differences between the scales which will then help me understand them better.
  22. Hi There, getting back into playing after a long break but want to learn the more technical side of playing. Got some software with all the chords and scales on it but there is loads and I really don't know where is best to start? Funk is my preferred style so can anyone recommend the best way forward or the best scales/chords to learn first and it going to take ages to learn them all. I would get some lessons but I really can't afford them at the moment. Thanks in advance
  23. Hi Matt, I've got back into playing after a long break and absolutely loving it. There is loads of great stuff on the internet, one of my favourites is www.playbassnow.com if you've not found that already. What style are you keen on?
  24. I was thinking wouldn't it be great if there was a website where you could track the history of different guitars, ie who owned them and where they had been. It could be done via serial number/manufacturer. Obviously kind of irrelevant for the past but could be great for the future. I'm sure most people would use the service if they knew about, perhaps update the website when they sell the guitar. It would be like a log book.
