I did vintage white in nitro beware your choice of undercoat colour I used dark grey on advice from here

Send it back ! What clown has been botching that up .... ?

Some necks need a long time to relax so be gentle Leigh Gordon’s mex jazz that I bought had a neck like a banana and took ages to come back to the land of playable

I use those thin plastic inserts that come in Next multi-sock packs just cut to size. Thin, durable, don’t squash much and you can glide them into place by just loosening the neck a little - around 0.7mm thick

They are, but no on these models or on many jap reissues

What he said ...

Meanie ....

Given that he never changed his strings and used a foam mute I think any difference in sustain in his case would be negligible his was a 62 which I think is not string thru - correct me if I’m wrong

🍿 time .... I think lozz had the best answer; it’s easier to change strings. Otherwise imho the difference is negligible

You did it for valid good reasons, not just aesthetic ones

Now you’ve totally gone and f cking spoiled it

He doesn’t always play root notes, listen to “please” and “bad” but sometimes that’s just what Is needed and we as bass players should not shy away from that as if we were guitards...

Yes my partner for one. She cannot see A difference except that “that ones a bit bigger”

I look at your angled neck transition there (which you wouldn’t see on a fender) and I’m reminded of the story about the designer of the spitfire putting the chord on the wing joint simply because it looked right rather than for any objective engineering reason at all

You’ve picked the wrong wood ... you want some of that lighter wood you’ve used for the body it might make a nice coaster though (for a kidney dish) 😛

See my build thread for paulownia - total nightmare, not just grain filler but also paint

Your ears will tell you if it’s wrong. There’re are no rules as far as I can tell besides if it sounds right then go with it, if it doesn’t it’s probably jazz

Never made that distinction of slightly Just underrated is enough

Yep @AndyTravis is spot on - 1992 beware pickup sizes will be the same front and back

The recorded facts ? Yes that’s right, they are indeed emanations of the devils backside. Read book of Genesis (amended) - on the seventh day God said “unfinished business ... let there be sheryl crow, and also tort”

Said nobody with any sense of what a proper bass should look like. It makes the sound better; the more custard in it, the better the sustain** ... Custard sustains you *** ** this claim may not be fully supported by an objective scientific investigation *** probably true in the absence of other calorie sources

Needs tort ....

There’s always the postal option ...

I did it and it was a huge mistake as I utterly messed up a lovely white white maple p bass copy

I had this - their terminals use GPS but that only has a 10m radius resolution From space so it may have been delivered next door or left somewhere. If a neighbour doesn’t bring it round I’d challenge the postman with what he/she did with it. I think that some posties scan it then put it in their pockets. We have very obvious cctv so no one tried it at this house if no joy then definitely report it not delivered at Royal Mail cust services
