Looks suspect. Obviously not the original scratch plate, missing knobs and the ashtray looks a little large, or may be that’s down to a poor photo angle.

Latchepen.  I like a bit of gypsy jazz.

If you leave me now - Chicago

Didn’t Bill Black tour with Elvis in a car with the Double Bass strapped to the roof? Or was that just in the film?

I like it as it is, save yourself the work and just use it and enjoy!

Water melon man - Herbie Hancock

How to discover your inner Ventures for a song. GLWTS

Glad you cleared that up. They are an iconic piece of bass history, the sound of the British Invasion (leaving aside Macca’s Hofner). Sadly I’m not playing enough these days to justify a £3k investment, but I do hope you find a good home for it soon.

Venus in blue jeans - Mark Winter ( does anyone actually remember this? )

Nah! It’s the thought of that battery going down mid set 👎

Pump it up - Elvis Costello & the Attractions

Final fling for a pension fund? 

Jamestown Rag - Garnett Lee

Latest video on Dave’s World of Fun stuff has one with very sharp fret ends that appear not to have been finished at all after cutting to length. One would hope that’s just a one off glitch in the QC that missed it not a problem with all this edition. Presumably they use the same necks as on other MIM Jazzes?

whoops, sorry BNT didn’t notice you’d already flagged this one.

Rubber ball - Bobby Vee

7 seas of Rhye  - Queen

Bargain of the century, like JPJ I paid loads more than this for mine 2nd hand.

These are really good, I use mine all the time. GLWTS

Feeling bad about letting it go?

No, I know it went to a good home and that you will make the most of it (I still like the P😁👍🏼)

Mr. Sandman - The Chordettes

Muleskinners Blues - The Fendermen (& Jimmy Rogers but I thought you’d all like the name of the cover version band).

I found the strings too close together for finger style, although if you look at pics/videos of 60s players they seemed to manage. It depends what you’re used to. As for Hofner strings - yuk.

Seems pointless changing the strings 🥴
