It's not a city. We call it a city - because it is in everything but name. Don't start me off guys - I love living here.

Bought a Pod XT Live from jas. Came promptly and well packaged - cheers.

Chris drove to mine from Nottingham to pick up a Markbass cab. Nice bloke and good player - bring on the funk!!

It's got two pickups - whassa matter?

The silver strip is DEFINATELY a reflection. it wasn't there 'in the flesh' (pun intended!)

That'll teach you to use cotton buds!! Get well soon mate!

Cos there's only one of them and it's number 1!! Seriously - no reason as all!

So it looks like number 1 was a 62 jazz....hmnnnnn

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='397214' date='Feb 1 2009, 08:34 PM']Or could it possibly be an aftermarket part, engraved with 00001 as homage to the Gilmour #0001 ("Number One") Strat? [url="http://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=259"]http://www.gilmourish.com/?page_id=259[/url] And, from what I can see, the player looks a bit of a corker :brow:[/quote] But it's definately 'JV' 00001 so nothing to do with Gilmour. I mean it's obviously either the real deal or has a fake neck plate. Where are the JV experts? Wish I'd taken more pics, but I'd gone through about five bottles of dog by then!

So there I was at a local venue watching a Floyd tribute band and admiring the lovely 18 YO female bass player (gotta be carefull - her dad was the frontman!) when I noticed her bass. Seemed to be a 62 reissue. At the end it was sitting back to front on it's stand - when I looked a bit closer I saw it had a JV serial. Interest sparked, I asked for a look The frontman assured me it was all genuine - JV00001. It was certainly a lovely bass - two piece highly figured body - everything else looked just like my fretless CIJ 62 reissue except for some minor decal changes. A good friend who knows his Fenders reckoned the original JV's didn't have 'squier' on the headstock....so..... Could it be number 1?
