  1. You could try these people

    [url="http://www.bhefnerco.com/bass.htm"]http://www.bhefnerco.com/bass.htm[/url]

    I have a lovely ash Jazz bass body of theirs - goes very well with a Status unlined P-bass neck.........

    I would recommend trying the unlined P-bass neck too - just keep with it - play along to lots of familiar tracks at first, then try it in rehearsal - believe me - in no time at all things will start to gel.

  2. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='443487' date='Mar 24 2009, 10:06 AM']If it's still around, I'd like to come and have a look at this during the Easter holidays in a couple of weeks...[/quote]

    Sure - should be around - drop me a pm nearer Easter

    You can try my Jazz bass with a new fretless Status 'P' neck - it's yummy

  3. Great stuff Stewart,

    Glad your happy with the fretless neck - looks to be a fine combination.

    Just keep on at it. Play along with lots of records - not necessarily with fretless players.

    Do lots of gigs if you can too - the neck will become familiar in no time at all.

    All the best

  6. Sold Stewart a fretless Fender Japan P-bass neck - paid very promptly and enjoyed good communications with him throughout the transaction.

    I have no problems in recommending him to any prospective buyer/seller.

    All the best - hope your fretless P-bass project goes smoothly - don't forget the piccies !

  7. Saw this on Talkbass

    [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=521069"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=521069[/url]

    Looks damn tasty with the Chi-sonic !

    More "normal" ones to come too

    I feel a build up of GAS........

  8. ....saw this on e-bay

    [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Japan-Precision-Bass-PB70-US-Made-in-Japan_W0QQitemZ120378831068QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item120378831068&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Japan-Precisi...A1%7C240%3A1318[/url]

    Tried link and it appears to work.

    I would be patient and look on E-bay and the BC classifieds. I have bought basses from Japan through e-bay with seikosuru2003 and bluezy-guitars - had great quick service - you can contact them to look out for things for you too.

    You could also look for Jap bass bodies and necks on e-bay and make up your own one that way.

    Good luck in your hunt !

  9. From 1976.....

    Scroll down a bit and you'll see the (You Tube) vid

    You'll have to put up with some drum noodling until 1:15 when Percy comes in (in his own inimitable style - harmonics blazing !)

    At 1.25 there is good footage of him grooving away - great stuff !

    You can check out some soundclips of more recent stuff on his website too to see what he's up to these days - not everyones cup of tea I know but jeez I love his playing.

  10. I'm a bit of an MK fan I must say - the Japan album "Tin Drum" album is as good a place as any to start.

    He's readily admits to Percy Jones being a big influence - indeed he got into fretless through hearing Percy Jones on Eno's Another Green World album.

    Another great British fretless player to try out if you haven't heard him before.....

  11. Folks,

    Up for grabs is a Fender Japan Precision Bass neck. Unlined fretless with a rosewood fingerboard - excellent condition - includes tuners.

    This came from a PB62FL bass that I bought from Ishibashi in Japan in 2006 so is quite rare in these parts.

    "B" spec - so 1.65 neck width at the nut - somewhere in between a P-Bass and a Jazz.

    Would make for a beautiful fretless Fender project - be it P-bass or Jazz bass.

    I have a piccie of it on a jazz bass body here

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13885&hl=Japanese+Fretless"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...panese+Fretless[/url]

    Looking for £175 plus postage

    If you need any more info please get in contact !

    Cheers

  12. Folks,

    Just wondering if anyone out there has bought or got their hands on one of these yet. I ordered one from Thomman but the order kept getting pushed back so I cancelled.

    Mulling over whether to get one or not - makes a nice change from the Fender or Fender based instruments I've been into of late.

    Certainly the review on Bass Player TV on sonic grounds makes it a must.

    The looks are not to everyones taste but if it sounds that good who cares I say......

    Two octaves - light as a feather and £199 or so - you can't really go wrong/

  13. Folks,

    Have the above combo up for grabs - mint condition and comes in the original box.

    Essentially a 12 inch cube modelling amp with a single 10 inch driver. Sounds great, very portable and has a decent amount of power.

    Looking for £100 + postage.

    Will get some piccies up soon.

    If you live near Newport in South Wales get in touch and you can try before you buy !

    Bill
