[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1331752830' post='1578372'] It does sound like it but I'd have said that if that was the case then it wouldn't have worked when he originally tested it! [/quote] Possible explanation - the first (quick?) test carried out with the jack plug not pushed fully home. Just a thought.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1331644371' post='1576401'] Gorgeous!! [/quote] Thanks for the compliment Geoff, the bass is quite good looking too. Any Geordie based interested party may be able to view at Blacksmiths Arms this Friday! That's if I'm up to carrying two basses to a gig - haven't done that for years. -

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1331642154' post='1576328'] Is this the one that was being carried round by a proud small boy on my visit? If so it is a true beauty, Matt [/quote] Yes Matt, I'm trying not to let the said small boy know about the sale - he thinks this bass will be his when he's big enough to play it! bad daddy. -

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1331640594' post='1576279'] If it helps, the standard CIJ Precision 62 has a 42mm nut width, ie, a 'proper' P width nut [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.php?f=data_fender_japan_new_guitars&a=2"]http://www.guitaremp...new_guitars&a=2[/url] [/quote] Thanks Clarky. I thought I should go away and measure mine specifically just to be sure. The weather of late has been quite chilly here and if my own nuts are anything to go by, there can be slight variations. -

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1331639827' post='1576259'] That is a really really really really really really great looking bass I have never played a precision with an added J pickup. Does the J pickup add much extra tonal colour ? Best regards Chris [/quote] Six reallys! Thanks a lot. The addition of the Jazz pickup certainly provides for the classic 'burpy' bridge sound of a Jazz but the combination of both pickups is different from the classic Jazz tone - not quite the bite you would associate with that. I play in a band that covers mainly Stax and Motown numbers and, believe it or not, the sound I feel hits the right spot is the bridge pickup with tone rolled off. It's bass alright but with definition to hold up in the mix. -

Up for grabs as I've realised I'll always want to gig with my old faithful '63. It was intended to be the newer version to enable me to leave my original at home but that just ain't going to happen. Here's the spec:- Basically a CIJ 62 re-issue, serial no. P025469 Fender USA reverse turning tuners fitted in place of the originals (note there will be additional holes under the backplate where the smaller ones resided) I made the 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard and it has a full-size aluminium screening plate underneath. Precision pickup is a genuine 80s Fender from the Fullerton era Jazz pickup Dimarzio model J (expertly routed in - by me!) Bridge is a genuine Fender USA from the 90s Fender 'F' neckplate Fender CTS pots and side-mounted Switchcraft jack Fender flat-top knobs Strung with D'Addario Chromes I have never gigged the bass so condition is A1. The parts totalled £650.00 and the sale price is £500! Wateroftyne will be along presently with his spendid graphs of the photo variety 'cos I'm crap with a camera. -

Can't embed/won't embed, but 'Behind a Painted Smile' contains one of my favourite snare drum sounds and a stroke of genius to stick that bit on the end. -
(Churchill dog mode) Ohhh.... yes.

To the best of my knowledge a '76 would have grounding plates plus foam (no springs). Around this period Fender were fitting Strat type knobs so split shaft pots would be appropriate (250K CTS) although quite a few players changed to the more popular grub screw knobs in which case solid shafts would be best. Capacitor would be 0.022.

Standard scratchplate screws, that is if you mean the chrome covers?

Why should a bass being owned by someone relatively well known make it ten times it's actual value? Never quite understood that. -
