Thanks, it was just a bit of a project to mess around with but it came out quite a good player, the tonerider pickups in it is something I’d recommend, and pretty cheap too, it’s The Bassmute by the bridge, https://www.bassmute.eu/bm_mainframe.html
Yeah, in my experience they are interchangeable, this is a mex P body with an older jazz neck I liked the feel of, it fitted fine, can’t remember if the screw holes were exact but that’s something you could overcome
The Ampeg Venture V3 head is fairly small and a great looking amp, not sure if the V7 is the same size
Width(in/mm) - 9.09/231
Depth (in/mm) - 10.52/267.1
What’s wrong with being a fan of a certain bass, just curious , I only play fender jazzes and precisions now after owning many other basses, they feel comfortable to me
That must have been one of the heaviest tunes around back in the day, I remember hearing it at sound systems around Leyton , dub version too , warrior charge was another
I narrowed down my vintage basses a few years back , I’m down to just one a 71 precision which I play mostly, I think the wear and tear goes with the territory as they are normally around 50 - 60 years old and that’s the price you pay to play something pretty special , I take mine anywhere because it’s there to be played , I will be buying more if something catches my attention
Sounds like you may have had it too tight, did you try it around the nut, I use them all the time to kill the overtones and stop the open strings ringing out, it suits what I’m playing sometimes
