  1. I think my answer is mainly because I had a CIJ 75 reissue with an unusual rosewood + white MOP board. I regret selling it
  2. I really like the pepperoni pickguard
  3. [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1393425372' post='2380112'] I think it's because it's a more natural shape for your hand to follow. I may well be wrong. But having never played one I can't give you first hand experience of this. Seriously would love a go on one though. [/quote] I agree - you start "curling" your hand straight away and it feels fine
  4. I bought this bass from Leigh Gordon of morcheeba. Its in good playing shape but has some mojo from many years of use, I have got its neck back to fender spec and it's good to play. It has naturally rolled fingerboard edges from use and a lovely growly tone. There are chips and dings in the places where basses get damaged, have tried to show this. The back of the neck is smooth with one wear spot around fret 14 The marks on the top horn in picture 5 and lower horn in picture 4 are reflections rather than wear. Mexico 1992 I would like to keep it but I'm just not getting time to play it (New job with more travelling and a junior geek due soon). I might be selling a 12 string acoustic too for the same reasons. Located near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Can also be collected in central Nottingham [url="http://s1149.photobucket.com/user/geek99/library/morcheeba%20jazz%20"]http://s1149.photobu...heeba%20jazz%20[/url] £245 firm, no trades please
  5. Thinking about doing one of these myself with a singer / songwriter that I know. Think I will take my precision and my acoustic bass and cover both bases
  6. Fanned frets took five minutes to get used to No biggie
  7. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1393272133' post='2378150'] It's O.K ,she's out at the gym all evening. She has got a big sumo wrestling tournament coming up next month and she needs to be properly prepared for her bout . [/quote] Meeoowww !
  8. [quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1393316465' post='2378499'] Cheers for the extra photo with the weight Phil. Yeah I am having second thoughts about selling it now! [/quote] Keep it if you can - I wish I had. Partner was happy for me to keep it
  9. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1392826147' post='2373176'] Ah yes, I was going purely on new items, if considering used the Classic 50s is a fantastic bass. Used CIJ/MIJs are also worth a look, they have some of the nicest playing necks around for Fenders. [/quote] Yes agree - played one and it was very nice indeed. Pmt knock them out around £500, I would buy one new and I don't say that often
  10. It's not always so, I have withheld refund until safe return of goods with eBay consent
  11. Maybe it's just your neck - my p bass has no dead or quiet notes. The brass plates do work and I don't think they make much diff to dive Edit: used them before on other instruments, not this p bass
  12. They are a bit skinnier but I cope fine with either so it's not a big deal The VMP neck was not over sized on the one I had
  13. Lemon oil revived a pale jazz bass neck I bought recently. It's also good for the wood, stick with it
  14. That's pretty nice - like the blocks
  15. [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1392461608' post='2368976'] I thought all US Standards did? My 2012 P does but 2010 Special didn't and shouldn't have done. [/quote] True IME
  16. I had a prosebass and it was brilliant Glwts
  17. Gold sparkle metallic all over or black to purple burst
  18. It's not exactly GAS but I would quite like a really nice sunburst jazz with blocks and if possible a bit of real mojo or some fake relic No time to play but I just like them
  19. I've got wood (sunburst and slightly dinged, that is)
