Hi John I've been looking at doing the same thing on my MIM Jazz and there are so many out there, it's probably down to personal choice due to the different tones that can produce, but which one. My front runner at the mo is the Fender CS60s but have heard that these are a bit quiet? There is some demo vids on Youtube, but I'd rather hear from someone who has actually upgraded and their opinion as to whether it was worth the extra dosh to upgrade... I'm after something with a nice warm bottom end that doesn't distort and the option of a nice top end (sounds like I should be on a porn site :-) ) Cheers Tony

Glad you've got the decal sorted (now you know what I mean about the decal being a PITA to do ) and completed, looks really stunning, do love that colour, well done! Cheers

I find it a bit suss that there was no reserve on it? If I had a 58 Fender Bass I'd make damn sure it had a reserve on it or you could lose a lot of dosh.

Very Good track but agree it needs a bit more oomph - well done!

Welcome and have loads of fun on your journey to learning bass.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1350224710' post='1835948'] I got as much as I could off my Ibby with Nitromors, but the real grunt work was done with a palm sander. [/quote] + 1 worked for me.

Banana milkshake colour for me

As a sufferer of back pain for most of my life, my advice would be before changing your rig would be; [list] [*][b]Learn to lift correctly[/b] (a really good bit of advice) [*]Use a Mobile/foldable trolley where possible. [*]Get someone to help you. [*]See if you can store your rig somewhere that's not upstairs or at a different location then buy a Vox bass headphone amp for home practice. [/list] I have to go to a Chiropractor every 2-3 months to ease the stiffness/discomfort which annually costs me around £200+. My back has ruled my life as I cannot do a lot of simple things that may irritate it and then cripple me with pain for a few weeks, all this was from not lifting an object correctly that weighed no more than 20lb. Genuine back pain can be a life condition if you don't take care of it. Good luck and hope you get sorted.

From my band in the late 70's to early 80's. We wrote all our own material and played in different genres which was probably our downfall. This the only recording that now exists, sorry for the not so good quality as it's a copy of a copy........

Played my first gig last night for almost 32 Years! (I gave up playing any musical instrument for 31 years). Went quite well I thought (the odd bum note here and there ) but really good feeling getting back into it after all those years. Can't wait for the next one (whenever that will be).

Wow really nice! Good job

And at that price it will probably be bought by some rich Tw*t who is not a musician and will hide it away as an investment and it will probably never see the light of day again. Nice guitar though.

Welcome and have fun, this really is a great site

it doesn't get much better than this (well for me anyway), shame I never got to see them live, although I've seen Hackett a few times performing old Genesis numbers.

What a fantastic looking Bass!!! Love it . you've done a cracking job there, well done!

Hi Mick and welcome Like you I took a 31 year break and sold all my gear at the time which 2nd hand today would net me £18000+!!!! but in those days a guitar was priced on it's condition and not really by it's age or where it was built, good old hind sight eh. I would recommend squires, very good for the price, Vintage basses are also worth a punt, they are well made and sound fantastic. Cheers

Welcome Scanbran, I'm 54 and just started to play bass again after a 31 year break and I've had offers to join 2 bands where I would be the oldest member by 20 years!!! so age is not a problem, it's all about music and enjoyment! Cheers Tony

Sold my Vintage fretless bass to Antonio via Courier. Was an absolute pleasure to deal with, would recommend him to anyone.

Is it the photos or is the neck seriously mis-aligned?

Like most people here I'm getting fed up these "Relic'd" basses. The one thing that they usually miss as with the one here, is the neck and fretboard are remarkably new looking without a mark or sign of ware? But hey, I'm no expert, if I paid a lot of dosh for a bass I'd look after it thus making the resale value better than some beat up crap.
