Reggaebass

I went there a few years ago one Saturday with a friend, he bought a 1968 precision, and they also had an all original 65 jazz with the original case for sale which I played and really liked , but as usual I dithered about buying it, I finally came to my senses on the Wednesday and called them to buy it and it was sold 😞

This is a bit of info from guitar world , apparently the slab board was to give more bass because of the increased depth , @onehandclapping Has a very nice 62 slab jazz , maybe he could tell us more about them 🙂 With all Fender models, the early ’60s brought the “slab board” fretboard, as opposed to the “veneer board,” which was introduced in mid 1962. The slab board was a thick piece of rosewood that joined the neck on a flat plane; the veneer board was thinner and joined the neck on a curved plane. Clay fretboard dots were standard until the middle of 1964

I don’t think I’ve seen him before, his channel looks good, there’s some good workout exercises on there too 👍

sorting out some of my YouTube videos I came across this one I had saved, a really good cover of stomp .

Just bought some strings from martyn, quick delivery, good comms, hope to deal with him again, cheers Tony ☝️

Very nice @mowf, and great pictures , thanks for sharing 🙂

I love a vintage jazz, I’ve been looking for the right one for quite a while now, would you have any pics of yours 🙂

Thanks very much boroman such great knowledge 👍

Classic

His version of Jerusalem is superb, that’s one of my favourite basslines

Do they require a lot of maintenance boroman , or once they are set up are they good for years

If anyone sees a Black Friday deal on an Ampeg pf 50t , let me know ☝️

I often look on auction sites and this B-15 from Bill Wyman sold for a fair few quid

I’ve got vague flashbacks of him being in the partridge family on tv , I found this clip

Absolutely 😁

Really nice early track here from Gregory isaacs that you don’t hear very often, nice Bassline on this

That’s interesting machinehead, I’ve just sold my classic 70s jazz because I wasn’t over keen on the neck, it felt much bigger than all my other jazzes

You could be right there, it’s a very similar tone to this one 🙂

Cruising through West Ham listening to this

I’ve got this one, it’s a handy little thing to have in your kit🙂https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154013776475

Not as good as your one myke ☝️

Classic Flabba Holt Bassline here, right in the groove

What bass is it, I’ve seen the ones for the fender jazz

There’s a bit of info here , and I had a useful video somewhere on how to make one that had some good tips in , I’ll see if I can find it
