Are there any Fender P with a J neck as standard?
EssentialTension replied to fretmeister's topic in Bass Guitars
If it doesn't need to be specifically a Fender, the Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom is a P bass with a J pickup at the bridge and a J neck. -
I had a black lined fretless Ripper in 1983 (or thereabouts). I always assumed it to be aftermarket and if you Google fretless ripper images there are plenty, but unlined not lined.

Not knocking Move It but the great British self-written Rock 'n' Roll album is Billy Fury's The Sound of Fury.

With roots, octaves, fifths, your intonation needs to be more exact. With thirds, especially if you are playing blues or related music with another 'fretless' person, e.g. slide guitarist, it can get spicy, maybe in a good way. I'm not sure how this is real but it is my experience that you can take liberties with a third that you couldn't with a root.

A conversation I am fortunate enough never to have had ... Random person: 'You're trying to play fretless bass [or upright bass, delete as applicable].' Me: 'Thanks for noticing.' Random person: 'But almost everything you played was well down below the E on the G-string.' Me: 'That's true.' Random person: 'And you didn't close your eyes and I definitely saw you look at the fretboard fingerboard.' Me: 'So what?' Random person: 'It means you're not a fretless bass player.' Me: 'Whatever ... and don't bother coming to our next gig.'

For me, Audis and VWs are not better than SEATs and Škodas, because they cost more and don't have anything I need over and above what the SEATs and Škodas have.

It must have been a laugh miming to those big production numbers with this line-up and not even plugged in or mic'ed.

I've played poplar-bodied basses ... ... and you know what, nobody ever said to me 'wow that bass has no sort of low end, is it poplar?' i'd expect them to be eminently playable and to sound great.

He was a session bassist before he was a Walker Brother ...

It happens every few months ... even though it's pretty much impossible to overrate him. But some people confuse personally liking or disliking something or somebody with that thing or person being good or not musically.

If you’d said that at the beginning then we needn’t have wasted our time ... again

Jet Harris shows us the first Fender Precision Bass in the UK I believe ...

You call it 'murdered' but I'd call it an homage to Geoge Harrision who was a massive ukulele fan.

... and most still don't.

... and here's an example of that:

People are probably buying new basses too.
