    Isn't that the 62 RI? The 64 has separate vol/vol/tone pots

    I just picked up a lovely first series (big Fender logo) JV Jazz from Rick. He was very accommodating and let me try the bass for several days before even accepting payment. Top BC'er!

    As a recent convert to Uncle Tupelo (Tweedy's breakthrough alt-country band), I am also rather wowed by this beauty. Shame I am cr@p at guitar. Don't suppose you want to trade for a US Jazz bass in a rather fetching shade of 'hot rod red'? I assume its a 'no' but if you don't ask ....

    Good work in restoring this beautiful bass to optimum nick/performance, Mr Apple. Its the doppelganger of mine which is a sheer joy to play

    Pics of the minor surface dings, for full disclosure [attachment=163012:IMG_2183.JPG][attachment=163013:IMG_2186.JPG][attachment=163014:IMG_2187.JPG][attachment=163015:IMG_2189.JPG][attachment=163016:IMG_2194.JPG]

    1999 Fender US Jazz in unusual 'hot rod red' colour, with added concentric pots (a la '62 and earlier Jazzes) and Wizard 64 pickups. Sounds fantastic, plays superbly well. Quite a few minor surface scratches and bumps, as befitting a well played/gigged bass but nothing through to the wood or really gruesome. Basically a super nice Jazz which I am only selling as I have picked up a superb Fender JV Jazz from the first run in the early 80s. Soft gig bag only unfortunately but would be well packed. £620 collected from London or add £15 for post. I have pinched the photos from a previous FS thread, hope thats OK (the bass is now wearing steel rounds, not flats) No trades please as this is paying for the JV. Also I do not have the original pots or pickups [attachment=162989:9637184590_ecd4a04e9d.jpg][attachment=162990:9637181234_163f1a6c6e.jpg][attachment=162991:9637178026_63acb2d07d.jpg][attachment=162992:9633935209_c14276af76.jpg]

    Golden spirals had a tynex wrapped D and G. As played by no less than Scott Lafaro. No longer made (they stopped due to mad cow disease crisis) and hotly sought after as a result. Take a listen to Chatlie Haden on Under the Missouri Sky. He also uses a stock of old Golden Spiral D and G and steel E/A (spiro mittels) and has a stunning tone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LXPyOluCLU

    Band of Gold!
  15. Clarky
    Wow, the O2. Impressive! What's his band called?

    Hi Ralph I really appreciate the offer. To be frank I have taken a listen to Bouquet and they are pretty far away from us genre wise, so that I can envisage the crowd being at the bar nattering while we are prancing around on stage singing about being valiant in Spanish! Many thanks for thinking of us but I think we need a more folksy evening to capture the crowd's attention

    Hi Keith, I'd be happy to put it on hold for you if you wanted?

    I recently started a thread about getting hold of an fdeck HPF-Pre (which are not available for sale in the UK). It was pointed out that a custom builder in the UK could make a copy as the fdeck owner, Francis Deck, is happy to make his electrical design public. BC'er Andyonbass mentioned that he had just had a clone built by Dan from custom pedal builder 4114 http://4114customeffects.co.uk/ so I contacted Dan and around two weeks later this arrived: [attachment=157862:DSCF0691.JPG] Its very solidly (metal) encased and - although I haven't used it on a gig yet (was ill with flu over the weekend) - from home experimentation it seems to be just the ticket. Cost me £73 including postage which I consider very good value for such a useful pedal and given how solid and well-made it appears to be. Even has my name on it! You can of course still get hold of an fdeck from friendly US-based TalkBass brethren but this arrived much more quickly, had no issues over import duty and exchange rates and is exceptionally sturdy.

    £475 would make it yours

    Thanks for all your suggestions gents!
  21. Clarky
    Funny isn't it. I used the wrong name yet everyone knew what I was referring to
  22. Clarky
    Catchy
  23. Clarky
    Thanks all for your advice and comments. I think the answer has to be 13A on the highly scientific grounds that this is what I have ordered!
  24. Clarky
    I definitely fall into the camp of uninformed user! Many thanks. 13A it is then. Back to Amazon ....

    Hi all, quick and easy question for anyone that isn't an electronics numpty like me. I need a kettle lead for my MarkBass combo (lost last one at a gig). Just went on to Amazon and there are loads of choices but the fuses vary from 5A to 13A. I have no idea which is right for a bass combo and the one on my PJB combo doesn't specify. So errr what do I need, pretty please?
