Linval Thompson day today

Thanks Frank, I’m just listening to them now, love their basslines

Pat Kelly, it’s a good day

Just released on bandcamp, samsara collective

Same here apart from the squires and the US ones are definitely the best imo

Haven’t posted here as I’ve been away for a few days and couldn’t always get a signal, was listening to quite a bit of the Gladiators and Lloyd Parks playing on this is great , there’s a dub version too

Great one Huw, I’ll be trying this later

If I was to have one refinished I’d probably go for a nitro very light relic so in time it would age naturally, some from around those years are in very good condition and some are quite worn, I suppose it would depend on how well it’s been looked after and how much it was used, my 71 precision had one owner before me and he played it a lot for many years, it’s quite worn but still plays great, also I think you can also find that some have been aged unnaturally

Hi, yes 74 would be a poly finish, if you look in the neck pocket you can sometimes see what colour it originally was

Nice setup NJE,congrats , very good amps aren’t they, I used to use mine with 2 markbass 15s , but now I use a big baby 2, I find the shape button really useful

There’s quite a few shops here that I often have a look through, some in Europe too

Barrington levy today

Welcome back

This one was a Mexican precision but I fitted my old jazz neck on it, tonerider pickup and a kiogon loom with a 0.1 cap, it’s got a 60s threaded bridge with the bassmute , sounds and plays really nice

The bullet truss rod was around 75 , I had a 74 and that adjusted at the heel

My big baby 2 can put out some really deep bass , I’d say it’s a pretty clean sounding cab compared with all the other cabs I’ve had over the years, I haven’t tried the two 10s yet but I probably would if one came up local, just not sure it could put out the same bass though

Has anyone ever seen a B neck on a jazz bass, this is a new one on me for a 73 jazz

Welcome marcos

It does seem odd that you was told that it was sold and it’s still listed, all his ads read the same

Stumbled across this, it did make me smile

A bit of Sly and Robbie today, great bassline, Cool Dude

10 years ago I knew people that were collecting 60s and 70s fenders so I wouldn’t say they were undesirable, obviously not as popular as they are now

Nice one , your reggae gigs will love that 👌
