Reggaebass

I had every intention to buy it but it would have been a long journey, so sending a few pictures would have told me weather it was worth doing, I’m not going to make a 6 hour drive to find out there’s no neck stamp , anyone selling a vintage instrument should have the standard pictures of parts and serial numbers everyone would ask to see , it did eventually sell but not to me 🙂

If you like the B15 there’s an interesting video here you might enjoy, quite informative I thought ,and the end part has made me dig out my PF50T for tomorrow

Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in 1977 - 1978 Production Number: 39401

Don’t know why some people do that, they obviously can’t be bothered to sell it, I’ve just had a similar experience with someone on reverb, they lost a sale because they wouldn’t send me pictures of the neck stamp 🤷‍♂️

Barrington levy tune that’s not played very often, such a great voice

Very nice, and great cabs too

I don’t like that colour myself but yeah you’re right that would be rare, don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person

I’ve never actually done that myself, although I have been invited to, I know what I’m doing but I’d be a bit cautious with someone else’s bass , I usually ask for lots of pictures of all the parts I want to see and then I know what’s original and whether it’s worth going to see it, if they don’t send the pictures I don’t bother (which happened to me recently)

I’m not an expert in these things but would a small rubber washer under the star stop it vibrating

Do you have a picture of the whole bass

Welcome @garethsnaim

I’ve got mine next to me now, I use it most evenings through the Nux , they sound immense in active mode and with labella flats

I’m guessing the indents could be from the mutes on a 61

This looks quite interesting, what do you think https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305254867950?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=QKPLj-MsQIG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=1wDkd4CjTIi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=EMAIL

Been playing jazzes and precision’s most of my life and never done this myself

That’s tough, I’ll guess ashdown cab

Good one, Flabba is one of my favourite bass players, Roots Radics

That has to be one the best myke

I’ve never seen one of those before myself, you could also try the Yamaha thread there’s some very knowledgeable folks there

I think Nat King Cole had lots of them, one of my uncle’s was a big fan of him

This is a beautiful song

If you’re in a loving mood

Listening to some early Marley this morning, this is a great one which Stephen Marley covers now, which is also really good
