I love those Fender Jazz 24s. Super nice example you have there.

That's good to hear. When you say the side dots were in the right place, Are you saying they were located where the frets would be or they were situated in between where the frets would be like on a regular fretted bass?

Anyone here have experience or paid a luthier to switch a fretless into a fretted bass? I've found a super rare bass I've been after for years but it's fretless. For info fretted versions of the bass do exist but I've not seen one come up in years on here, eBay or Talkbass. They're crazy rare.

Great ability but that tone is not to my taste.

I love 'In A Silent Way' - that would have been a nice addition in my opinion.

Congratulations. Get some photos up when you can!

I only mentioned the Mac because I was dead against them until my last two PCs had issues after four months and then the replacement went just four weeks before I started getting problems. Not being in any way technical I took them both back to PC World who were great to be fair. They replaced the first one but when the second one went as well, I paid the extra and bought a brand new iMac. I remember driving home with the computer boxed up in the back of my car really angry with myself about how much money I'd just spent on a computer. This was 2010 and I still run this iMac as my main machine today. So far, touch wood, it has needed to be restarted maybe five times due to slowing down but it's never actually crashed or needed any outside work from anybody so in the long run I'm really pleased I switched. And last year, I bought a year old 13-inch MacBook Pro from a fellow bassist here for £750 that my wife uses everyday and I use for recording/gigging. Again, touch wood, but it's not given any grief yet. I'm not saying every Apple product works as well as this and I do think I have been fortunate so far but I don't recall hearing any horror stories from Mac users.

Why not a Mac?

Can you stick up pics?

He loves the upper register doesn't he. I love his bass lines!

Yeah I messaged the guy and posted on the bottom too. He's not been on basschat since 1 Feb I think.

I've been after an Aguilar SL112 for a while now and am planning to go into a music store later today because nothing's come up here. Hoping one continues to not come up after I've spent £655.

My 2013 American Standard Fender Jazz Bass was identical to yours looks wise - sunburst and rosewood - it's one of the best basses I've ever played.

Very, very nice. What year?

Congratulations! Get some photos up!

You do have to be careful with US Standard Jazz Basses - considering they should be more or less the same, the differences between them can be quite staggering. Having said that, the ones I've owned have been excellent.

These almost make me want to get a Ricky again. I wish the lip stuck out just a little bit more to rest the thumb on
