Older jap or newer made in China?

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1458380106' post='3007052'] From hazy memory hasn't 'I'll be there for you' got a middle section that no-ones ever heard? [/quote] Yes it does - I have the cd somewhere

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.

No FX except for light compression and a little reverb on the intro. [/quote] Good music but who are the hot ladies in the phone box ? Just asking ...

[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? [/quote] here you go - here is a super duper template http://ivanholmes.co.uk/downloads/bassheads.pdf

I like the guard how it is. Sound file?

I nudged him

I quite fancy one change to my precision - a rounded off heel and one of those neckplates that has a rounded off corner somewhat like a sandberg. Classic looks but a bit more useable. sunburst, maple blocks and bindings.

He is awesome - you can email him to say he helped you I told him this and he said I'd made his day

Jet lag - drink plenty of water and keep adjusting your watch back so you arrive in the correct time for what you can see, then go to bed when appropriate for your arrival time zone - a head trick but it works

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1457630133' post='3000430'] Single-cuts, gold hardware and coffee table finishes is about it really. And I don't like Rickenbackers, ugly, messy looking things. [/quote] It's like you stole my mind .... Not that you'd want it right now, my mind is awake with a child unfamiliar with the "night time eyes shut" concept
