    Nice one ash. Great buy, man.

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1341133342' post='1714039'] I reckon the girl in the advert looks fed up because it's so damn heavy.... [/quote] No, she looks fed up because all she wants is a sh..., sh.... ....short sit down, a fag, and a brew.

    Why are you people even discussing this peice of s***? It's not even speculative. Stop it. It's embarrassing.

    That's never been a Fender as long as I've had a hole in my a***. Carry on.

    [quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1341471577' post='1719418'] Fender needs to bring out a TRUE '60 stacker, right down to the correct logo, pots, resistors and caps. I have one based on that circuitry, with the pots being 220k. It's a bit on the quiet side but sounds sweet. [/quote] Quite right. And a true '62 three knob, skinny board.

    [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1341568357' post='1721001'] I'm thinking of selling my japan 62 reissue jazz.Will post pics if there is some interest. [/quote] A price and some pics will drum up interest. I'm always interested in any Jazz Basses - but without pics and a price it's difficult to raise the anima. .

    [quote name='davidak' timestamp='1341572133' post='1721065'] Reversed tuners (same as on American vintage basses, I don't see them on MIJ basses often.....) [/quote] VSP grade. Which also suggests the pickups will be top of the range Alnicos in which case much better than the USA ones. Verrrrrry nice bass. I'm sorely tempted. [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1341576703' post='1721166'] Where do you keep producing these brilliant basses from? [/quote] Good question Watson. Coz he does, dosn't he?

    Wasn't a Fender Precision that's for sure type bump.

    [quote name='shrimpflea' timestamp='1341430437' post='1718991'] Except that the Japanese reissues have poly finishes, still great basses.... [/quote] .... three grades of tuning machine and two grades of bridge saddle - depending on which of the three or four grades of instrument you purchase. Accuracy aside, they [i]are[/i] great basses, so great I have four of them. [quote name='shrimpflea' timestamp='1341430437' post='1718991'] I do wish they would come with "clay" dots though. [/quote] When did they stop? I've got a 1983 Fullerton re-ish and it has clay dots. Me brother has a '62 re-ish Strat, a Corona model from about 1989, and it too has clay dots. .

    [quote name='foal30' timestamp='1341386925' post='1717943'] apparently James Jamerson had one [/quote] ....and Jack Bruce and John Paul Jones. Jack had a VI aswell. .

    One of my faves. Seem him by accident on more than a few occasions and on each of those he was solid, melodic and soul-funky as you like. He seemed to be splattered all over a high percentage of elpees I had in the late sixties - Atlantic and Atco stuff. All over Aretha, with Duane Allman on the amazing Wilson Pickett 'Hey Jude' sessions, and Herbie Mann's 'Push-Push' record..., all that KIng Curtis stuff. I'm salivating reaching for the record rack. First saw him rather late in life, by comparison, initially with 'Soul Survivors' with the wonderful Les McCann (Chuck Rainey's day off...?) about six (I hope) years ago..., then as a guest of the Allman's at the Beacon in 2007 where he cheekily out-Burbridged Burbridge on a chunky version of the already chunky 'Southbound' and again at the same venue in 2009 for the Bros. 40th anniversary celebrations..., then lo and behold he turned up as anchor - and some - of the current Gregg Allman Band at the Barbican this time last year. So not only is he an influence on me.... he's become perennialy influential! A case of[i] there goes my hero[/i] I suppose. Those were the days - L-R: Duane Allman, Roger Hawkins, Jerry Wexler and Jerry Jermott. J.J. speaks..., loads of good stuff here: [url="http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=41597&page=1"]http://www.allaboutj...id=41597&page=1[/url] .

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1341223241' post='1715240'] +1. We inherited a goldfish..... he's still going strong despite jumping out of his tank twice (once while we were out!). [/quote] Crikey!

    [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1341147113' post='1714252'] Completely agree with PURPOLARIS and cameltoe. You don't have to justify owning it! Hang on to it unless there really is no other way. You are not going to feel any better if you lose the Fender as well. Good luck to you! [/quote] This. Hang in there. Don't do anything rash. Am also watery-eyed pet owner and have had to do the awful, final deed on a couple occasions in the past. It hurts, but don't hurt yourself twice. Keep the Fender, Hun. Am also up for the whip round. .

    [quote name='3below' timestamp='1340220784' post='1701405'] ....stick to ebay Chinese Warwick Rockbasses at £130 or so. No danger of overpayment lol, quite the opposite [/quote] *laffed*.

    [quote name='kurcatovium' timestamp='1340300352' post='1702604'] I can vouch for David, although he doesn't have any taste in pickguard selection....[/quote] A "[i]yes he does[/i]" bump. Great looking bass.

    I reckon this may have gone elsewhere. I made him(?) the right offer ages ago but he(?) hasn't been back in touch.

    [quote name='chriswilliams666' timestamp='1340559491' post='1706232']The usual dings and dents for that 'light relic' look (These are natural and not caused by sandpaper or hammers...)[/quote] [quote name='chriswilliams666' timestamp='1340559491' post='1706232'] That is from a thumb rest. Caused by a drill... Not sandpaper or hammers :-P [/quote] A '[i]natural[/i]' drill...? .

    [quote name='SlapbassSteve' timestamp='1340219381' post='1701362'] Hi all, Saw my old bass teacher yesterday and he recommended I install a preamp of some sort in my MiM '02 Fender Jazz. I've been really happy with the tone from it, but would be interested in upgrading the electronics so I can boost top/bottom as required. I've heard Artec do some good budget ones(particularly the SE2-A), is there anything similar that's any good or is that my best bet? Preferably where I can keep the three knobs original style rather then chrome, and really ideally where I don't have to start removing precious weight by routing the cavity. Any thoughts? Cheers! [/quote] Don't alter the bass. Use a Sadowsky or Sans Amp outboard.
