Higgie

Runaway is most definitely not Zender! He left like 2 albums before that It's Paul Turner, and the P Bass/Stingray thing is true. 60's P and a Pre-EB Stingray IIRC.

I absolutely LOVE the Nordstrand Pickup. As Rich said, Hifi is quite a good way of describing it, yes. Just really crisp and the clarity is awesome It really helped bring my G string back from the dead (couldn't hear it live whatsoever!) If you are going for one in your 5 string, make sure it's the 5.3, as then it has the proper switching options, the 5.2 in mine has a really dubby sound in the middle position as it couldn't be wired up properly without the additional dummy coil in the 5.3. It makes for a really cool sound though so I never bothered changing it out! And thanks Nick for the comment on my fashion sense...Haha...

I was tempted by the Green at first. Then I saw the White Hot and wanted them. Then I saw a Choc Thunder Db112 in the classifieds cheap, so that made my mind up for me

Rich has just left after coming down to personally deliver the MarkBass 2x10 my Dad wanted off of him. What a great guy! An absolute monster of a player too! Cheers Rich for a nice chat, and for bringing your bass down, that Jazz is gorgeous. May have to pick up one of them Sadowsky boxes for my Jazz! 10/10 from me, an absolute pleasure to deal with!!

Got a pic of me and Chuck somewhere...I think it's on my dad's old phone! He is without doubt one of the best bass players that ever lived!

A Rhythm

Unfortunately that spot is reserved by my Dad...But he won't get it either That bass is staying with me for a loooong time...

Yeah should be a good day mate! My dad and I would love to try that Jazz with the Sadowsky pre, if you wouldnt mind bringing it along! Cheers mate, looking forward to it!

Lol I wish! Hard work and the FS section on this site = win

Thanks mate! I agree about the AG500 width, but as you say it's not exactly a deal breaker. The Precision is a Fender Squier JV Precision. I believe it is a '57 re-issue model due to the 2 tone sunburst. It's a 1982 model, and it's serial number dates it to within the first 6 months of production. At some point the original pickup was replaced with a DiMarzio Model P. I don't have the original, and even if I did I wouldn't put it back in, this bass sounds absolutely gorgeous as it is! The best part about it was the price as it's not all original so I got it for a bargain!

Thank you Steve - I believe I am VERY lucky to have the gear that I have, my Dad (who is also a bass player) always says what a git I am for finding all these lovely guitars, when he can't find just one lol He's tried to steal my Precision off me numerous times

Haha, I'm sure you'll get one eventually...My Dad had a 78 Stingray and it was GORGEOUS!! In other news, I went to pick this bad boy up today: It is facking LOVERLY Not sure on many of the details about this bass, but the seller tells me it's a 1994 CIJ '72 Re-Issue - Does anyone else own something similar and can comment on it? Cheers

Very catchy tune! I love the bass tone too. You definitely picked the right bass for the video All in all I think it looks very professional! Well done mate, got something to be proud of there!

Last I heard he was trying to sort out copyright protection so that he could sell each tab as a PDF.
