Evils.

Fritz the cat version Roya please.

Yep,Howard,Bass doc.

Here it is again, this time next to the other beauty I received today from another wonderful basschatter: Is that enough pictures for you??? [/quote] So,Fender are making copies of Sue Ryders already ?The headstock's all wrong.

+1

Thats the way to do it.

Whilst that is definitely my kind of music,i think that you will find that more than one of the bands mentioned used a Jazz bass most of the time.

It is a P J,Pile of Junk.

How about this ?

If you are wanting an "investment" Precision,look for a '70's one.They are'nt my cup of tea,but they seem to be the ones going up in price at the moment.Tough poly finishes too,so they can be gigged without much deterioration to the finish.IMO.

Should'nt have said how much it cost though.When/if it's in the for sale section..........................................

Enlighten me please,i really do'nt know.What is the difference between a Stingray and a Cutlass ?

4,but why ?

I've had 3 and 4 pickup basses,the 3 pickup one was a 1973 ? Fender Telecaster bass with the neck humbucker as standard,but with added P and J pickups in their respective positions,it had a fantastic array of sounds,the only reason i got rid of it was because of the weight which was way heavier than any bass that i've owned before or since,and my current one is roughly 12lb.That and the uncontoured body just made it uncomfortable.If i remember right it had 3 vol,1 tone and a Strat 5 way switch. The 4 pickup bass is an Italia Modulus Tipo 3,with 4 lipstick pickups mounted vertically,which has undergone serious modification to replace the pickups,one of which failed,and now has a soapbar at the bridge and a mudbucker in the P position.

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1180438' date='Mar 29 2011, 09:00 AM']This must be a Southerner's thing? I've never noticed any changes like this at certain times of the year. By Southerner, I mean where you get enough of a temperature change to make a difference. Up here you get cold & wet or cold & not so wet with [b]a[/b] sunny day (Summer & Winter respectively).[/quote] Fixed it for you.

Must be,none of mine have needed doing since i got them.

One bass ? are you insane ? even my butler has more than that.

[quote name='paul_5' post='1178949' date='Mar 27 2011, 11:00 PM']but to be fair, I've listened to more U2 than Mark King... there's a lesson there somewhere.[/quote] So has everyone else.........end of lesson.

Weeeeed.

They did Warwick copies too i think. My best deal was a Westone Concord and a Marshall govenor pedal,about 10 years ago £15 the pair.

The bridge cover came as standard on the bass,the Precision cover is there to cover the couple of mm gaps around the EB-0 pickup until i can get a new one cut.The bass does sound thunderous,like a really fat Precision.

Neck materials and size make a difference in tone in my experience.
