    on Later with Jowels, the singer/bass player had a jazz with the strings on upside down? Why? Do many people do that?

    I've waited for one of these shape basses to come up and when it does it needs work on the frets. Shame.

    How did a 4 hole bridge fit? I assume the original had the usual 5?

    I love this, trying to find some loot..........
  14. tom1946
    No. I wouldn't have opened your advert if it said 'on hold' I'm 66 and in bad health so time is getting precious. No offence meant.
  15. tom1946
    Just wasted more time reading an advert that has'on hold' on on the second page I was on my way round halfway down the first page.... Please write SOLD in the title.

    Thanks for the kind words, I'm still dithering on fitting the chrome's on the Jazz........

    I think you're very wrong about the Mex FSR's, I have both of them and they are fantastic to play, each to their own.

    Hiya, this is my 1996 Precision, made in China with a great thumpy pickup. The action is low and it plays really well. I have changed the harness for the one off my 2009 MIM and it's much better for it. I bought it as another "I'm going to paint it yellow" project but it's not warm enough so I'm moving it on. There are a few small dinks and marks here and there but nothing you'd notice 3 feet away. I'm looking for £135 posted to the UK mainland. Well worth the money too. In the pic of the back it looks swirly. It's not the finish but my bad attempt to polish it in the cold, the back is good. Or near offer. Pics: Thanks for looking.

    I don't normally post here but I love these basses so much. They have a real presence. Yes I know they are only reissues but I want to share them anyhoo.: [IMG]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x73/Peasmold/IMG_8900_zps3de2fdff.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x73/Peasmold/IMG_8901_zps177731fa.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x73/Peasmold/IMG_8897_zps8249fc79.jpg[/IMG] Not sure about putting the chrome covers on the Jazz, any thoughts?

    Hi, does the £20 per year marketplace subscription cover ALL of the selling places or is it £20 per forum? ie' basses for sale, related items for sale, amps etc'? just want to be sure. Thanks.

    I played 12 string guitar and a bit of Mandolin since the 60's. I can't read music but am a pretty adaptable rhythm player. Then in 2007 arthritis set in on my knuckles which made chords and hitting people painful (joking) around that time our church band bass player moved south and we didn't have a replacement so as my wife also plays 12 string it was suggested that I learn bass. Knew nothing about them or how to play one so I bought a Mexican jazz, printed a bass neck diagram with all the notes marked and memorised it. I looked at some of the songs we do and it looked fairly easy...... It isn't!! I did quickly learn runs from one note to the next and I can accompany on a basic level without sounding too boring. Ann can read music so I just have the bass notes for songs written above the words I then add bits here and there to make it a bit more fluid and it works for the type of music that we do. I'd like to be better but I understand bass, it's not instinctive when you've played guitar for so long, I can't easily 'jam along' so I get despondent and lazy and just do what's needed. I'd like to learn things like lucy in the sky with diamonds or we gotta get out of this place, but I'm not sure how to do it as I can't read music. Plus I'm 66 so hardly ripe for a new career
