    Nice to hear from another DB player in Bristol! Lockdown has stalled (ie stopped) me from playing upright, but I hope to get back into it when the world goes back to normal.

    What a great gig that must have been. In the presence of genius it’s tempting to try and analyse what they do, but sometimes it’s better to forget we’re musicians and just enjoy. I remember seeing a performance by Christian McBride (in amplified) and it was incredible. (Didn’t stop a few people on the audience falling asleep, mind you)

    Objectively speaking, they’re both built the same way so you’d expect little difference. My 60s jazz (all original) plays wonderfully but pickup output is very low. Modern jazz (based on a 60s bass) has a much higher output. 60s bass looks better, modern bass sounds better. Difference in price: £7,000. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth it (I bought my 60s bass 20 years ago). Years of experience with 70s basses leads me to conclude that these aren’t worth the premium at all.

    Don’t apologise for trying to get the best price for your bass...

    It’s got the good tuners on it too. Looks like a fantastic deal.

    Looks like a modern British classic. If I didn't already have a room of basses I'd be tempted.

    Bugger. These are brilliant.
  8. Burns-bass
    These are beautiful

    I’ve reduced the price to £675, including a very old and battered Fender moulded hard case.
  10. Burns-bass
    Yep. Good eggs.
  11. Burns-bass
    Sounds like jazz!

    Bump for a lovely and affordable bass.
  13. Burns-bass
    Bump for a weekend. I’ve now found a case for this!

    Looking at the end of March when restrictions are lifted on movement...

    Happy Saturday!

    25% on top, so budget for about £2,300.

    Hi Stu, it’s an active preamp and passive pickups (I’ve been told!). Updated the listing. Still a lovely thing.

    Let's hope it turs into a Mexican sell-off.
  19. Burns-bass
    Fair enough. Man beats internet.

    I don't want to get into a discussion about Fender finishes (it's the world's dullest discussion point, I reckon), but here's the official Fender description of the bass which I've used below. If anyone from Mexico wants to chime in then please do! The Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer delivers the distinctive 1950s-era look, sound and vibe of those first Fender basses, with vintage style and an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer finish on its alder body. Other features include a "C"-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets and black-dot inlays, vintage-style split single-coil pickup, gold anodized pickguard, four-saddle American Vintage bass bridge, and vintage-style reverse tuners.

    Lots of lovely interest, but still here. I really love this bass, so hope it finds a new home. I’ve managed to find a case for this too should postage be necessary.
  22. Burns-bass
    Still here staring at me on it’s green glory.
  23. Burns-bass
    You can also use these to record on an iPad. I have two of these and they are amazing. Great price too!
  24. Burns-bass
    Perhaps o was a little optimistic with the price, so how about £200 for a beautiful fretless.
  25. Burns-bass
    It's a long-scale (34") bass, not the teeny tiny shortscale!
