The looks of this bass are tremendous, if not particularly faithful to an original Jazz https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/nash-guitars-jb-63-sonic-blue-medium-aged-left-handed-pre-owned/

THe mystery deepens!

Jaco trashed it. The bass of doom is the careful reconstruction of the bits as I understand it.

How much do vintage strings cost then?

Ooooh....yes please, and not in the bag too......you know how basschatters like pics!

That must be the most famous bass on Basschat out front

I stand corrected!

I fear not. I had an MK for about 20 years and was on a similar quest. I just got used to the wardrobe in the end (if you'll forgive the pun). I think one of my pre-requisites now in my dotage is that whatever bass I have, it must fit in a Mono.

Not at all sure about that Logo. Maybe the neck's been re-varnished/re-fretted and someone botched the decal replacement? All the lefty precisions I've seen from that period simply have the Fender Logo on them

Good luck with the second run up/run down on Master Blaster!

I love the bass and the bass sound, but then I play a 70s Precision with La Bellas. Some of the basses Olinto produce look fantastic. This guy also looks like he has a lot of top-notch basses looking at his other vids.

Challenge acknowledged. I was just trying to make the point that I didn't expect Lindisfarne to be so popular (as I didn't really know them as a band). About the same time I took pictures of what must have been the last Q Tips gigs before Paul Young discovered Pino. It was a sunday night gig, where the licence made them turn the amps off at 1030. Paul Young just kept singing Motown numbers acapella for another hour (along with everyone in the nightclub). The best gigs are always the most unexpected.

I wasn't into folk either. I took pictures at a Lindisfarne Christmas Gig at Leeds Uni in around 1982 at the height of punk. There were c 2,000 people there who knew all the words to all the songs. It was an amazing experience.
