    This is such a bargain....why is this still here??? Have a bump on me - great basses - and what a giveaway!!
  2. spongebob
    Never got the Jazz thing...owned a few, but they never seem to sound right in my hands for some reason. It's gotta be a Ric for me - as much as I've tried to escape over the years, I just can't, and I suppose it's really 'my' bass. +1 on the Precision - if I'm not holding the above, it's P-bass all the way. I've come to the conclusion that nothing works better in the mix of any band or style that the ol' P.

    Road Worn instead? Of the highest Mexican quality....maybe better QC than the USA?

    My work colleague is the spitting image of a cross between Tre Cool and Jeremy Kyle!

    The green P bass in 1979 - so not quite sure when he stopped using it? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-fw7a16Gw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-fw7a16Gw[/url]

    Anyone know when exactly the increase is going to happen? Just had a quick scan on the 'net - the Road Worns are nearly £1000! Couple of years back they were far less..... With wages being worth less, and everything else going up, who's going to have the cash for a new bass with yet another increase?

    After a bit of a clear out, I'm in the market for another P-bass....was looking at USA models, but now not really too sure after this! I've noticed the new Classic 70's are MIJ.....surely they have to be more consistent?

    When I saw him last year, his Shuker (+ whatever amps) sounded very like the 'Black And White' tone to me. I've never heard sound an insane live bass sound - it was awesome!

    Don't forget the Karate chops - intrinsic to the overall tone.

    [size=5]For a number of reasons, I have to move on this bass - bought by myself in early December 2011. I am the sole owner and only person to handle this beauty![/size] [color=#ffa07a][size=5]It's a basically brand new Fender Classic 70's Jazz in black.[/size][/color] [color=#ff0000][size=5]Only mod has been the fitting of a Gotoh 201 bridge (cost £50) - really increases sustain and tone....and looks really good as well![/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]I will include the original stock bridge should the buyer choose to fit it back.[/size][/color] [color=#0000cd][size=5]I'm initially looking for cash on collection - I don't have a case for it. I am located in Tenterden (Kent/East Sussex border).[/size][/color] [color=#000080][size=5][u][b]Price-wise, £500. [/b][/u]Although it's essentially brand new, I have to accept some depreciation! These retail at over £600, and the bridge at £50.[/size][/color] [size=5]Only trade I would maybe consider would be a Fender Precision. Obviously local-ish would be ideal again....but cash is king if possible![/size] [size=5]Please PM if interested - Iain[/size]

    That looks like one cracking Jazz at a great price! I bought myself one the same late last year (I've also changed the bridge). If I hadn't bought it, I'd be snapping this beauty up in an instant!! Have a bump on me Geofio!

    I've owned a few over the years....always struggled to find one that really fitted me. Picked up a Classic 70's last year...thicker neck than I've had on a Jazz before, so that suited nicely. Just a nice playing bass. Got a new Gotoh 201 bridge coming to me this week, so hopefully that'll give it a bit more all round. It's my first mod I've actually ever done on a bass in some years of playing...inspired by BC!

    The more I listen to TL, the more I worry about Phil's voice! What happened to that soulful delivery? It becomes a bit a rasp in the last few years. Was it the drugs....whatever it was, it's a shame how he ended up singing towards the end of the band. It seemed to change overnight...even on 'Killer On The Loose', what a change to a year before.

    I'd say that Geddy Lee has got a fairly aggressive style as well. My own sound, I suppose, is what would fall into that category. Not surprising, as my top 5 bassists include JJ, Lemmy and Geddy!

    [quote name='Johngh' timestamp='1325710562' post='1486568'] Phil is alway's sadly missed I've just finished reading Mark Putterfords book The Rocker about Phil. In it one of Phil's closest friends who ran the fan club say's that just before he died he gave her the content's of his personal box, it could have been these tapes of unreleased songs, or just coincidence. [/quote] Good call - I've just started reading this!
