    Just bought a gorgeous jazz from Lawrie and couldn’t be happier. Lovely guy who went out of his way to make it a pleasant sale.

    Up for sale is my Fender MIM Classic 70s Jazz. A veritable funk machine I'm told, although my rather rudimentary skills make it difficult to confirm that. The serial number is MZ7189826 which I believe dates it to 2007-2008 (please correct me if I'm wrong on this and anything else). The bass has a nice low action and is fitted with roundwounds. It feels fast and easy to play and the sunburst is rather gorgeous. It does have some war wounds however - mojo I believe it's called - and I've done my best to show them in the pictures. You'll also notice holes where the rear ash tray was attached (No, don't have it). I'd like to say I inflicted this damage at a series of small club gigs in the mid west, but that would be dishonest. The bass was i this condition when I bought it. The Spider case is also a bit scruffy and is missing a rear catch (there's always a catch isn't there?) but does a rudimentary job of protecting the instrument. Reason for sale: my ability and finances make me a one bass man and I want something like the US G&L SB1 I've seen on here, but they're for sale only. Collection would be preferred, but given I'm in the wilds of Somerset I'd be happy to courier at buyer's expense. Let me know if you've got any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

    That Jaco-ish tone during the intro ... how's he getting that? He's a brilliant player obviously, but is it all technique or a combination of that and the guitar/amp? What a great performance.

    Thanks very much ... sounds like I should try moving my thumb to the A and let it touch the E at the same time ... will give it a go

    This is a question from a L-plate bassplayer so please go easy on me. I've found it fairly easy moving my thumb between the pick up and the E string and I'm muting the D and G strings with my left hand. So far so good, but occasionally I notice the A string is ringing when I'm playing the D or G. Some players seem to mute the A by moving their thumb from the E string to the A string, but I find this incredibly awkward. Another guy suggested resting the ring finger on the A string, but again I find that completely messes up my two-finger plucking. Wondering what others do and if there's a 'best practice' beyond whatever works for you? Thanks, Richard

    Makes me sound like an angry toddler... I'm stinky poo at slap mummy.

    Hey, basschat changed my expletive to stinky poo... how adorable!
  13. Richard Jinman
    Saw a vid of Larry Graham fronting his own band so naturally all the focus was on the slapping and popping. Impressive obviously, but as a musical experience it was the equivalent of watching popcorn in a microwave. Guess that puts me in the if-the-song-demands-it-then-great camp. Full disclosure: I’m stinky poo at slapping.

    Sticker probably seemed like a great idea in 1984. Spose you could say it was ironic. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-SQUIER-by-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-JV-SERIES-JAPAN/124171232450?hash=item1ce92ea4c2:g:I48AAOSwxx1cHSg6

    Lots of love for UPS none for Hermes. Will go UPS
  22. Richard Jinman
    Ok, good tip. Happy to use UPS.
  23. Richard Jinman
    Hermes is quoting £16.49 to deliver - if it was picked up tomorrow you'd get it on Monday. I'd also need to buy a bass box because it seems unwise to send it in just the gig bag. They're £14. I think the Hermes price only includes £25 of insurance cover so you'd need to think about whether you want to take a chance on that or cover replacement value. Cheers, Richard

    Dms... assuming you want posted to UK?
  25. Richard Jinman
    Yes, happy to post, but another guy in Manchester also wants it. I’ll check cost of postage and see who wants to go ahead and buy.
