    But it's not for now...

    🤦🫣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Heartfield line was made by Fuji Gen Gakki in Japan from 1989 to 1994 to produce the Fender niche models designed in the USA or Japan and some guitars or basses even wear the Heartfield by Fender logo à la Squier. So, true Fender? It's up to you!

    And the one off (two, in fact) Tye Zamora Fender 6 that was even for sale here:

    Fender had the Steve Bailey 6 strings in fretless and fretted version a long time ago and before that they designed a prototype version of the Roscoe Beck for the man himself...

    Maybe you try to source an old Atomic Reactor FR FR passive wedge (1x12 + 1x1" Eminence based speakers, L-pad and filter) and use (or better, integrate) a decent power amp like the GSS as it can handle 250 Watts, and goes down to 50 Hz and up to to 20 kHz.

    Only took them 50 years, even if there's been a few failed attempts... I might even buy one.

    Absolutely and totally right: heavy instruments are back destroyers. The only viable solution if you absolutely need to keep that bass is to play seated in a classical position with a strap to avoid the bass to slip and even with a Hopf Dynarette: this way your spine will be straight with no pressure or torsion and your arm and wrist too meaning no muscles and tendons fatigue. Check this for explanations about the Hopf Dynarette: And the amazing Simon Zauels:

    In the gain of a recurring bursitis for the return of it and it was also missing the top of your mind as well as it would be a good morning to the other person who knows what they are doing with their zingy tone.

    If you have the money, Vin, this will be the awesome, if not the best... https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/grbass-at-410-800/

    1a. Nope. 1b. Yep, because it's lacquered. 2. Not a problem per se, and the price tag is a tad high for that year. 3. Nope. With Fender fully lacquered maple neck, it implies a lot of work. It's an old bass, so it can't be as new or it hasn't been played at all. 😉

    Good point for your hearing, I do a test each year and I still have amazing results according to my age and the ENT specialist. 6 months old strings are completely dead, so I think it's the lead... Try some Elixir Stainless Steel, yes they do exist, so you'll keep the same tone for ages, ... well months. 😉

    Up!

    To me, way better sounding thatn the new ones. GLWYS.

    You can also simply check the serial number (under the battery for the early models) and date here: https://serial-number-decoder.co.uk/boss/boss.htm

    I'm only interested in early Japanese ones.

    And it's totally wrong... Here are the different versions of the OC-2 explained: 1982 – 1984: First series Light brown colour “Octaver” – (with the letter R at the end) Made in Japan Black label Circuit BA634 ACA adapter 1984 – 1985: change of name from “Octaver” to “Octave” Light brown colour “Octave” – (Without the letter R at the end) Made in Japan Black label Circuit BA634 ACA adapter 1985 – 1989: color change to a darker brown Dark brown color "Octave" Made in Japan Black label Circuit BA634 ACA adapter 1989 – 1997 – production moved to Taiwan Dark brown color "Octave" Made in Taiwan Black label for a year or two, then transition to Silver label (Silver) BA634 circuit for around 5 years, then transition to 4013 (precise date unknown) ACA adapter 1997 – 2003 – Switch to the PSA adapter Dark brown color "Octave" Made in Taiwan Silver label Circuit 4013 PSA adapter instead of ACA
  18. Hellzero
    Japanese or Taiwanese?

    I've used this very semi-rigid Fame gig bag for a lot of basses and even guitars over the years: you can't find a better one at this price tag. I also own some MonoCases for my ultra high end basses, but the Fame is really doing the job if you don't throw everything in your car or on stage as it's protective enough. Go on, you won't be disappointed.

    And what about your ears, did you test them? Sorry, but it's the first thing to do, especially when you need to push the treble. Otherwise put some EMG JX (the basic ones) pickups, that would be your best option, even if there's a battery. No insertion loss with the ABCX, meaning that wherever you are on the blend position the output level will be the same. It's really a great plus.

    And if you want to play that marvellous tune, here it is note for note, and even with the tab for the fingering:

    To get that Pino sound, you'll need a chorus, an octaver, a reverb and a real fretless bass with some round wound strings. All the fretless electronic gizmos are just illusions that are approximative, at the best. Check the ads online, like this one which is really good enough to start practicing fretless and it's also lined: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamahs-fretless-bass-reduced/1480823606
