    [quote name='Beedster' post='397790' date='Feb 2 2009, 12:55 PM']Yours was the body on the far left and the neck third from left (I was trying a maple board on the '73 PJ when the pic was taken but it didn't really work out). Yours probably turned out to be the best of the bunch Col, which is ironic given it was a complete mongrel [/quote] Definately a keeper! Check it out in action on a classic bassline here boys and girls [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0a08L7a1Ph8&feature=channel_page"]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0a08L7a1Ph8&...re=channel_page[/url] apoligies for the minor hijack!!

    [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?

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='390758' date='Jan 25 2009, 03:32 AM']This man knows his japcrap! don't argue![/quote] According to the catalogue page and the seller it's a set neck. I think maybe there were several incarnations of the Thunder II. Can you shed any light Bassassin? Col
  15. King Tut
    Don't think it's neck through - looks like a set neck. I've a Thunder One - a two coming - anyone gonna sell me a three?!
  16. King Tut

    I've already been in touch with owen about this, but for the benefit of others, I've had an EMG 40J go tits up like this - very weak signal. It was - in fact - knackered!
  18. King Tut
    Does this have an onboard compressor? Col

    Rich travelled from Ely to a gig we were playing at Stevenage to trade his immaculate Corvette for my MIJ Precision - dragged the long suffering girlfriend along as well. Bass was in perfect nick - a nice fella to do business with!

    Lovely Japanese Precision. This has an 'E' serial so is quite an early one (84 - 87) although I don't know the exact year. All the parts are original with the exception of the tone capacator (I think I still have the original one though), and the scratchplate. I have what I believe to be the original scratchplate, although it's not much use as it's been painted black!! It has been professionally set up by Andy Viccars - including a fret dress, so it's playability is nice. There are some knocks and dinks which I have tried to photograph. The bigger ones have been coloured in so they don't look so obvious. The pickup covers are heavily scratched through heavy plectrum use although this hasn't photographed too well. There was a chip in the back of the neck - near the headstock, but this has been filled - again by Andy Viccars - so it can be seen but not felt. Higher res pics, or pics of anything specific available on request. Collection from Milton Keynes or could meet at a Railway Station between Euston and Birmingham New Street. As an early Japanese model, I believe this is likely to appreciate in value as it's collectability increases. It's a nice player with a deep solid sound and no obvious dead spots. The nut width is 1 & 6/8" which I believe makes it a 'B' neck. I'm only letting this go as I have one of Beedster's old precisions (74/78) and a really nice SQ squire - both Sunburst, and a Black Japanese PJ - so having four is just plain greedy!! I'm looking for £400 or would consider a trade for a 4 string warwick - but I'd have to be able to try the warwick out first. Would prefer not to post, but would at a push - don't ask me to drive for a meet up unless you'll pay the petrol

    I'll have it mate - when you coming to MK? Col
