King Tut

I went into Wunjo's yesterday gassing for a maple necked Jazz. I was served by Mark, but all the guys were friendly and helpful. I agonised over a couple of VM squiers before settling on a maple one. There was a great selection of Fenders and Ernie Ball stuff, plus a few oddball basses. The guys were happy to chew the cud about music stuff, very relaxed. Good service and a friendly reception . . . . Couldn't really ask for more . .

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1380106423' post='2220795'] It looks like the headstock is gloss finished? If so, is the neck board gloss as well? The old one I had was matt finished. Nice looking bass. [/quote] Yeah gloss finish neck, board and headstock. This is another change. Got a set of proper Jazz knobs on order, otherwise I'll probably keep it stock, at least until I've gigged it a few times.

I've got Wizard 84's in a different Jazz Bass - very rawk sounding!!

Has anybody had a chance to A/B the Fender designed pickups on the 2013 range of VM basses as compared to the Duncan Designed pups on the earlier models? I bought a 70's VM yesterday - the maple bodied model. Incredible amount of bass for the dosh. I've set it up with a low action. The body wood is nicely matched down the middle rather than one third / two thirds as often seen - well pleased! Pics . . .

Just got back from supporting Madness with our Ska originals band - The Bighead at Northants Cricket Ground. Biggest gig of my life. Well looked after on all fronts, sound was awesome and played a blinder. Happy days!

Must be the brass nut folks are going for. Interesting that it's got through body stringing. Don't know of any Squiers that have that.

Sold an amp to Stevie . . . good communication and arrangements stuck to. If you visit him, make sure to include the street name on your satnav directions as the postcode and house number take you to possibly the most obnoxious person I've had the displeasure of meeting. Stevie is a good guy to deal with!

I bought an inuke power amp that packed up at a gig after a couple of months. Got a replacement and need to get over my nerves and start using it!
