Agree Why not add a comment that its beginners friendly?

I think it's a good idea to have somewhere for people to ask questions without feeling silly

Yes all the time I bought s hohner b2 and keep it in car

To be honest you're doing well to get to play as you do, I have two small children and a partner with health issues. I get no practice time and only make it to a monthly OM night. Yes it's hard to find time or motivation for the gym but in not convinced that CV fitness will aid you much in playing for longer unless you're exerting yourself too much doing it

Older jap or newer made in China?

My bass doc sunburst precision 75 clone with maple and red tort. Brilliantly setup, instantly recognisable to the lay people and it sounds awesome loud - soon to be reliced and the only one I would never sell Accept no substitute

I've got the drop D version, it may be coming up for sale

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1458216665' post='3005650'] I occasionally find myself fancying a bass like this, until I remind myself it's not a Precision! I used to own and gig a Hohner Jack but playing it now (as it belongs to Mr Axe jnr) it sounds a bit thin. That's probably down to the J pickups - the OP's looks like it has humbuckers. [/quote] It does

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1458213162' post='3005591'] Yes - hit 'em for six! [/quote] Four - six (strings) would be evil

Or hit them with it, it's none of their business

I have one and they do take some adjustment If YOU like it and YOU want it, it's enough, tell your bandmates to shut up

Ish they made them around 83'

A white one of these came up for sale a while back

Too many garlic éclairs?

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1458057160' post='3004255'] No. It MIGHT reduce it a bit...The only way to stop hum on a Jazz is to have both pickups at the same output (eg fully up), in which state they are a humbucking pair, or retrofit proper hum-cancelling pickups, which may, of course, alter the tone somewhat. Shielding the cavities can also help. Shielding AND the metal plate might just be pretty effective also. [/quote] Mine was silent with decent shielding - Tiny fractions of an ohm in resistance

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1458046851' post='3004158'] Here we go, then... the audio clip suits the bass mod really well in that it was a bit rushed, I got impatient and the whole thing would have been much better had I taken my time and done it properly... It's a bit noodly, but you should get an idea of what the bass sounds like. 2 minutes.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1458046646' post='3004154'] Ah, wonderful - thank you! [/quote] No worries

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1458033854' post='3003973'] I've been thinking about doing something similar, now having seen what a great job you've done I'm going to press on. Well done, it looks amazing and I look forward to some sound clips. Regarding the template, was that something you downloaded or did you simply just draw around the headstock of a MD sig?

I like the guard how it is. Sound file?
