Wo, hang on a minute here, people use more than 5 frets 😲

FWIW, from the not very clear pics I think it’s genuine, if the seller could check that the blocks are stickers ( which is quite easy ) , if they aren’t stickers then there’s something wrong and I’d stay away from it

It matches really well, very nice

Good one, I like that, pretty heavy

Some also have the Allen key nut at the heel, pretty sure my 2014 jazz has that

Yes, a lot of the time it will just tell you what year it is

Yeah spot on, binding and bridge only stringing

It looks genuine to me , but the only range I remember with the blocks was the AV 70s reissues, I had one in sunburst , but the logo looks wrong for one of those , stickers would explain it as the first one is missing

Absolutely agree with you there, I can’t watch anything by any of them😬, but , and there is a but , I thought Scott’s interviews with Sean Hurley and Freddie Washington were great, I wouldn’t watch anything else though

It does come in handy sometimes 😁

Yeah just change the saddles, I’ve done it on a few of my jazzes as I like the threaded ones, I got the fender ones a long time back maybe from allparts, they were quite expensive though, or maybe get a hosco bridge and just take the saddles off, like this

Can’t say I’ve ever heard that one before 😁

I’ve always used a strip of business card with no problems whatsoever, that very thin shim can make a big difference to your setup, I wouldn’t go any thicker

Congratulations Grand Master 😁

thanks sponz

I might be missing something here but what difference does the line make

Great one here I’m playing at the moment, not heard very often, Gregory Isaacs and Set the captives free

Tweed cabs to match, looks great

Well I looked at the pictures pretty closely and I’m not sure who it is, just glad I haven’t got anything coming from Europe at the moment

Have to agree with that one, many have come and gone but my 2014 Olympic white one is going nowhere

If the bass arrived last week I’d have thought the builder would have come up with a response or resolution by now, hopefully something has been sorted

What I’ve learned is long practice sessions don’t really work for me, I don’t tend to absorb it all, whereas if I do 1 - 2 hours I remember everything, also if I can’t quite get something like a tricky Bassline, I always take a break then come back to it , and more often than not I get it straight away , I used to end up noodling for hours but now I make notes of what to focus on

Hi Tony, I wish you all the very best in your future decisions ,and really hope you’ll stick around here to share your thoughts and knowledge , I always enjoy your posts
