Driving to East Ham listening to some early paragons

Welcome LP

That would look good, similar to the Yamaha BB

Came across this great track by Bunny Scott before he became the singer of Third World , he was also in the early line-up of Inner Circle

You could be right , I’m no expert either but it looks right to me, it’s 4 ply and has what I think is an aluminium shielding plate on the back

If all is working ok and there’s no problem with the neck it’s a nice find

It’s worth experimenting with a few different offcuts of wood before gluing to get the closest match you can

If you don’t mind me saying, the block is showing end grain so won’t match, you will find it hard to match exactly but will get closer if the grain is running the same way 🙂

57 is the precision 👍

Underrated- Behringer ultrabass amps Trace Elliot cabs Overrated- Squier Jaco

I wouldn’t say I’ve regretted buying anything as such, but I’ve lost count of the amps cabs and basses I’ve had, lots of them were my fault for not doing any research and just buying what I liked the look of, whichever basses I bought I always went back to a fender jazz or precision, so I now know exactly what’s good for me, and of all the amps I’m settled on the Ampeg sound, it’s all a learning experience and if you don’t try these things you’ll never know

Looks like the 57 and 62 both had 250k pots , not sure about the cap though but a 66 I looked at had this cap

Welcome Teller

And for home practice they are totally silent, no fan noise

Heard this recently and it took me way back in time

Did they ever get anyone for that

I remember something like that, wasn’t it around the same time as a Tyson fight

Nice one, they are a great amp and I wouldn’t part with mine, look forward to seeing how you get on

Think it might be because it’s really low

I’m the same, I like to see it flush with the neck

Yeah sure, no problem

It’s the other end of the country, but you would definitely need to see it beforehand

Yeah I don’t really know much about that side of things, what would you clean it up with, I suppose a metal cleaner on the hardware but what would be used for the body, you’d have to be careful with the finish I would guess

Not a stupid question, I don’t know what it is either 😁

Hi, I’ve had quite a few US jazzes and I don’t remember the standard one coming with blocks and binding , do you have any pics
