There’s a copper colour bb414 on gumtree if anyone is looking

As bigguy says, I had this on my US jazz, I thought it was the strings, but it wasn’t, I lowered the pickup slightly and it disappeared

So do I, but another 12 seems to have followed them into my house 😁

You won’t go wrong with that, they are superb, my 2014 one is probably my favourite jazz

You might like a bit of Babe Roots Bunion , they can be pretty heavy and a bit ambient

I think the original was by Alton Ellis, trinity did this one around 1977 and marcia aitken did this

In the mix

I remember seeing it on TOTP , the original was by the Mighty Diamonds

If you had the paperwork to say they are already yours, couldn’t you fly over one day , when it’s a cheap flight ,and collect them 🙂

Great story t-h, love it 👍, I believe @jazzyvee is musical youths bass player now

I think we’ve had the curly locks riddim before, but this is a nice Bassline on this Lee Perry track

Thanks cuzzie 👍. I’ve got labella double ball end flats on it now, it’s sounding great

Welcome Norman 👍

Thanks, I fine tuned it yesterday and locked it in place

Thanks I’ll give that a try, the active switch really boosts the bass, I had to roll it back a bit today, which is really unusual for me 😁

Initially I was looking at a steinberger XL2 ,but I didn’t really want to buy one in case I didn’t get on with it , so I thought I’d try the hohner first , I’m so used to my jazzes this is a nice change , they are pretty cool

Miami vice style, i like it 😁

I was playing mostly sitting today, thanks I’ll try that 👍

Ah yeah, I’ve found that too, I’ve landed on the wrong fret a few times, I’ve been playing it quite a bit today and I think I’m getting used to it 🙂

I haven’t tried that yet 😁, but I’m sure you could, they are really well built little basses aren’t they

I bet the tunes sound superb through your system, especially the dubsters, I play mine through my bass rig , markbass 15s with an interface, then I can play along, I haven’t got as much vinyl as I used to have so I too have to rely on YouTube, but some of the songs aren’t on YouTube, I was thinking of starting a channel but I don’t really have the time . btw, I like the Pluto track, haven’t heard that in a long time 🙂
