Also listed on Guitarchat! We're into the final stages of the Great Retirement Clearout and this listing is from my 2012 FSR American Special Strat. I bought it new from Peterborough Music (sadly now defunct) and it's in excellent condition with all the original paperwork and Fender gig bag. It has an ash body in natural finish with two Texas Special single coils and an Atomic humbucker. The full spec is listed here https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratAmSANat--fender-fsr-american-special-stratocaster-hss-natural-ash-body. The guitar is available to try out here in sunny Cleethorpes or I can travel a reasonable distance to meet/deliver - please PM me to discuss options.

SOLD The Great Retirement Clearout continues and now we’re down to the penultimate listing… This is a 2012 Fender FSR American Standard Jazz bass. It’s a limited edition of 150 worldwide, of which 50 came to the UK. The first 50 were signed by Jeff Allen, the head of production at the US factory, and this is number 41. It’s hand-stained with a wine red stain and came originally with a black pickguard which I’ve replaced with a vintage white pearl PG (original Fender spare part). The original black one is included along with the Fender-branded TSA hard case and all the original case candy (Allen wrenches, swing tags, polishing cloth, manual, set up guide and, for some reason, a photocopied manual in Spanish). I bought this new in 2012 and gigged it regularly until I hung up my gigging boots for good in 2023. As a result, there are a few small dings here and there and a general patina of use but nothing major - it just looks like what it is, a well-used Jazz bass. I’ve tried to show the marks in the pictures but please PM if you want better pictures of specific areas. Like most of us here, GAS has meant I’ve had loads of basses over the years which got plenty of stage time but this is the one I kept coming back to. It’s got a lovely fat sound when you want it or you can get it to growl like a good Jazz should. Used Jazzes seem to go for about this price but the finish (and signature) makes this one stand out. Feel free to ask any questions or for more pics/ sound samples. I really would prefer not to ship this so please PM to either come round and try it out or discuss meet-up options. Thanks for looking. And now, a few pics…. (edit: forgot the proof of ownership thing. Water-marked pics now added)

Bargain!

Looks nice. At the risk of appearing rude, how much?

I’m sure that AI (which I think stands more for “Apparent Intelligence”) will continue to develop and could even become quite useful at some stage. My concern is not that it will start to “think” for itself and decide that we’re the problem, rather that we humans will hand over responsibility for some quite big decisions to something that looks smart but isn’t really. A bit like the first generation of autonomous trading systems which over-reacted and cost a US brokerage firm billions in the space of a few minutes. Provided we always have access to the “Off” button and provided we have double and triple checks on the big decisions, we should be okay…

Sax playing options / opportunities in NW/Borders area
Skinnyman replied to zbd1960's topic in Other Instruments
I believe there’s a website that lists dogging sites locally……. Oh, hang on. You said “opportunities for sax in public”. My bad, sorry. -
