Neil - It's hard to tell, but is it a traditional profile P neck?

Can anyone who has one can tell me about the neck?

[quote name='ahpook' post='116553' date='Jan 8 2008, 09:12 PM']seems a of of people really favour the bridge pickup on jazz basses...
i only ever use the bridge on mine...not blend of the back at all - i find the bridge far too nasal.
hmmm...[/quote]
Yes - it does make you weird I thought the bridge was the back

Same here, on 3 different PC's at differnet locations / networks etc. Now also having a problem with pictures in posts. Some I just can't see, some open up to gargantuan proportions.

I think they're quite legit.
I asked the managing director to send me his picture so I know who I'm dealing with:
He assures me that he's "A real geezer"

It really doesn't look right [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-FENDER-1959-PRECISION-BASS-ORIGINAL-BODY-RARE_W0QQitemZ320202080608QQihZ011QQcategoryZ41406QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-FENDER-1959-...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

[quote name='ahpook' post='115167' date='Jan 7 2008, 01:24 AM']i suppose it's possible the track was a dud...and something finally gave in the end. the supply was rated 12v @500mA[/quote]
You didn't put much power into it - really sounds like a dodgy track. Can you get a refund / replacement?
Hamster
I'm really trying to avoid playing bass with a pick - but I think I'll give in and have a go
What picks, and what thickness do you picksters use?
Hamster
3V difference won't burn a pcb track out - that takes amps. What's the current draw of the pedal @ 9v - and what's the rated amps of the 12v supply you plugged into it? If it draws amps well in excess of it's requirements it's most likely a direct short.
Hamster
If you can't resolve what is probably a poor connection, someone posted a few weeks ago about putting one of those tumble-drier anti-static sheets in the control cavity - Worth a go I suppose?

The Bass Cellar! There are much cheaper places!! Figure out what you want to buy, and then look in the forums' for sale section.
If the cash was in my pocket - a Musicman - you'll get a cracker for around £700.
[u]BUT a big caveat - try before you buy!![/u] Even if you try out in the bass shops and then look for a bargain here.
You will play better with a £300 bass that you are really comfortable with than with a £1200 bass that doesn't feel right.
