  1. In all my years I’ve never played a smith, that just looks so comfortable , and the fretboard is beautiful, very nice ped 👍
  2. My 62 RI came with one already fitted, but I took it off as I didn’t use it, I do play with the thumb but not in that position, i Know a few people that have fitted them just for vintage decoration purposes 🙂
  3. He’s also selling a p bass one the same price 🙂
  4. A business card looks really thin , but when used as a shim it makes a big difference to lower your action, it’s deceiving 🙂
  5. That’s exactly the same way I do it 🙂
  6. Mine is less than .25 on this ruler , if that’s any help 🙂
  7. That looks in great condition for a bass that’s over 45 years old, nice one 👍
  8. I can remember hearing, peaches around 1977 when I was first having bass lessons, fantastic Bassline and a great band , and I think go buddy go was on the b side, I’ve still got the single in the loft 🙂
  9. I would definitely go down the route of making one , if you get the foam at the right depth you need for the case , you can draw round it with a felt pen and as baxlin says cut it out carefully with a craft knife and glue it in , and if you really wanted to you can cover the foam with a suitable material of your choice to really finish it off 🙂
  10. That’s what mine is now, it’s hanging up in my summerhouse, at the top of the picture, 😀
  11. If we have it for a week each , the last person has to wait a long time 😂
  12. How strange NJ , I found this in the loft in an old bass case from 1977 and I was looking at it yesterday 🙂
  13. They are not that hard to make if you’re a little bit handy , there’s a good video here 🙂
  14. Mine just hangs on the wall now, but back in the day I used to play mine through a , HH ic 100s head with 2x15 HH speakers , I used to rumble my mums house down 😁
  15. My first bass in 1977 was a jedson and I played in 2 reggae bands with it, and I still have it in my summerhouse and it works fine, although the jack is a bit crackly, flats would sound fine on it , and imo £80 was a bargain 🙂
  16. Hi al , I’ve used these in the studio and they sounded great when pushed , they have serious low end , I quite fancy one myself but I only do the occasional gigs now so I’m not sure about home use , and I think @taunton-hobbit has these 🙂
  17. I finally got around to fitting a ramp to my old fender jazz and I’m quite liking it , i haven’t noticed any drastic change in my playing yet , and raking feels different , but it’s early days, and it makes a good thumb rest 🙂
  18. I can’t make this one jazzy, hope all goes well 👍
