On ebay at the moment, Oxford collect only. Currently £93 !! (OK, it'll rise but how far). Also on ebay at the mo, another '84 Westone Thunder fretless, 1200. One of these 2 is worth a look. here's the fretted 100 quid one

Is that an Original 60s P @Ander87 ? In LPB... and selling the 60s Jazz. And getting a WHAT??😂

Joel bought my spare Gator case - sorted courier collection, all very smooth. Top Basschatty trader 🎛️‼️

Good to know what they were called. Got mine from Bass Direct and they listed it as a Precision Special but that clearly wasn't right as no such thing of the period exists. Been through a few Precisions over the many years but this one is an absolute keeper! (Selling the '64 was maybe a mistake...)

Sure looks like it!! I've had mine about 4 years and never seen onother, particularly for sale. Don't need 2 but someone needs to grab this, fabulous basses IMO and I rate the mid-late '90s Corona builds very highly.

Far as I know this was the first time the Corona factory made production P/Js. There was a limited 500 run of USA Standard P/Js in 2016, and various MIM and Squier iterations later. Got a bit interested when I needed a replacement tone pot- original is a CTS mini 250k and I couldn't find one with the 1/4 post anywhere so contacted Fender in the States. Their email back told me they had no detailed records of build as 'very few were made'. There's no doubt it's a straight Corona '98 and it came to me many years later in virtually unplayed condition. It's a real cracker and a certain keeper, but anyone else own one or know more about them?

Just got the Hall of Fame pedal from Steve - very fast, arrived next day. Brilliant service, a great Basschatter. Thanks, Steve.

Thanks Paul. Never thought to look on Ebay. Funny it's Northwest listing the Alpha one. Just ordered one 👍

OK, on my Precision I will keep the original knobs and want a straight replace new with old. So I need a mini 250k with 1/4" solid shaft. Seems Northwest list said item, may have just sent the wrong one (split shaft). Also theirs is like £2.50 which makes me suspicious of quality. Do you have any mini solid 1/4"?

I tried using those before (on KiOgon's Jazz harness a while back), wasn't happy as the knob becomes eccentric and it made my head hurt!! (OCD-ish). I'll ask KiOgon. Thanks for tips.

Having a run around with this. I have a '98 US built Precision Special (a P/J as it's known). The original tone pot is duff, signal drops, earth buzz etc. Ordered what I thought was right from Northwest, but it was just a standard size version which won't fit cavity (tone pot occupies space originally made for the jack on a std Precision so needs to be smaller size than standard). So I'm looking for a source of a decent quality mini pot (250k I believe) with the solid 1/4" shaft (to take std Precision knob). I sent wrong one back to Northwest but they have now shipped a split shaft pot... utterly useless. Anyone know where I can get a decent quality replacement for the tone pot - can't be so hard as Mexico make P/Js these days I believe, not like it's that rare. Help appreciated.

Mick (Formerly Marleaux 62 with feedback) bought my PJB 6B. Quick decision, no messing and payment ahead on trust. Excellent Basschatter - trade with confidence. Thanks Mick, & enjoy the cab!

Lifelong bass player but guitars have been a close second. Always fancied a Tele - particularly fond of the bridge p/u with a bit of scoopy eq and maybe a hint of delay, even a touch of chorus. Very happy with this one, a MIM vintage reissue in faded Fiesta red. The original very white scratchplate has been replaced with a parchment one. Waiting on Strings Direct to get my 10-46s to me (overpriced and slow, one star review for them). The other thing is a mountain (or appalachian) dulcimer, which I built. Back & sides flamed sycamore, top spruce, board ebony. It has a nice sound - they are a bit odd. I added 2 frets where the purists don't have them (min 3rd and maj 7th). The trad mountain ducimer is basically fretted for a mixolydian scale if you played all frests up to the octave. It's normally 4 strings in 3 courses, so a double top string. Tuned (most often) DAD so the lower A & D act mostly as drones, with quite a few chords available. Can be heard on Joni Mitchell - a Case of You and one or two others. Also on the Plant Krauss album - the track 'Long Journey'. Fun to build, fun to play for a short while. Like when I got a tenor Uke during lockdown. Got bored fairly quickly. The Tele however, well that is mighty fine and packed full of challenges. (just mention I bust one of top strings on dulcimer, easily done. So it's currently a 3 stringer, which some serious US players use anyway.)

Used for minutes on a Precision thru-body. Switched to EB Cobalts as prefer the brightness. Cover post at cost, all yours.
