Was this from the last batch that got reduced to Squier sort of money? I nearly grabbed one. Actually it was within the last 3 years so of course it would be.

Take a good look at the Fender headstock (and I own one) That massive swelling that we've all become accustomed to serves what purpose exactly? It's far from a work of art to my eyes but hey 😂 It almost looks comical when I glance over at one of my Warwicks.

I did the opposite some years ago. Stuck a P neck on a J body. They're compatible with each other if we're talking about Fender/Squier.

And it's not a battery issue right?

Do you mind if I ask why not?

Same for me other than I have 3 basses.

There's a lot of truth in this. I meant to type more alike than different. Edited my post.

Based on the dopamine hit I get from every bass I try in a store there's truth to this. I want them all 😂 When viewed philosophically though a bass is essentially just two pieces of wood (neck thru and set necks excepted) attached with a few screws and then seasoned with some more pieces of metal and some magnets. They're all more alike than they're different. This mindset helps me to stop buying more 😁

Congrats on your purchase. I'm curious though how many non-Fender basses you've tried/owned?

I doubt Cort put a passive tone circuit on those.

I bought one of these Tanglewood made Overwaters used from Richtone a few years back and was very impressed. I sent it back however as it was insanely heavy.Shame production on them is no more.

I need to go have a lie down 😁

You're spoilt for choice in that area 🙂

WOW!!! I'm speechless,£7m??? 😧

I played your bass in Rose Morris on Denmark Street when they first got it in,maybe 3 months ago give or take. I really liked the fit finish and general feel,and I mean a LOT! Sound is subjective but it did at least sound like a Jazz to my ear. Job well done Cort. Visually I don't get on with clear pickguards but ignore that as that's only my personal taste speaking.The maple fingerboard and matched headstock look great in person however to me. Enjoy your new bass ☺️

Would be interesting to see what this bass actually sells for. It's had 2 offers already.

Same here. Breaks my heart though that I don't get on with the string spacing.

Agreed. I was "chased" out of Guitar Guitar just last week by a young would-be slap-bass player who was set up to demo a bass literally less than 3 metres from where I was quietly noodling. He was loud and sounded awful. Bad marks to both him and to the staff for not separating us. The Epsom branch is huge so there was no need. Rant over,back to the topic 😂

Without wishing to throw the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons I've found scale length not to be a factor with regards to decent sounding B strings. Design,build quality and neck pocket tightness seems to be more influential but I'm no expert on the science. I've tried Dingwalls in the past and think they sound good however 👍

A Fender with a decent low B in my experience is a case of trying several. I lucked out with my Mexican Player Plus Jazz V. I don't blame the 34" scale either as I have two Warwick fivers with excellent low B strings.
