    Are you suggesting that if you did a blind A/B sound test of any '64RI to any genuine '64, you'd be able to tell which is which..?
  2. wateroftyne
    I meant above and beyond any usual natural differences you'd find in any Precisions. I should have made that clear.
  3. wateroftyne
    FWIW, I don't think the old ones sound any different to, or better than, the new ones. It's not about the sound.
  4. wateroftyne
    Yeah, I thought the same. The bass player needed to chill a bit, i thought.
  5. wateroftyne
    Yes. Around £300 over 18 months on my last one, maybe? Whereas over a decade or so I probably quadrupled my money on the '71 I sold recently.
  6. wateroftyne
    This is true. But it's also nice not to lose money :-)

    All else being equal, the pristine 60s original would appeal to me the most, just because the anorak in me would be calling the shots. But, on the assumption I couldn't afford it, I'd be happy with the relic as long as it's decent.

    Cool story - thanks for sharing!
  9. wateroftyne
    Quite. And let's not forget that to many of us, playing music is all about emotion - it's not just a clinical activity whose sole purpose is to convey sound to others.

    Yep, there's the investment angle as well. I bought a pair of Maruzczyks over the last couple of years - great basses both, but I have to accept that I'm going to lose money if/when I come to sell them (as I've already done with one). Because I've only really had vintage stuff in recent years, it's a new experience, and it hurts a bit.

    Like I say, all other things being equal :-)

    A battered two-year-old bass isn't going to have the glow of a-45 year-old instrument* - it's going to look like a battered two-year-old bass. *Unless it's skilfully relic'd.

    I haven't read the thread - apologies - but my view is this: All other things being equal, IMO this: ...looks a million times nicer than this:

    That video of the drummer who was at the wrong gig was mint, though. That should have stayed.

    Location, location, location. Unless you’re prepared to take a router to the body... save up and buy a P.

    Great drummer. Fairly tedious public persona, through.
  18. wateroftyne
    Did someone say heft?

    Limelight 62-ish Jazz. Bought from someone who knew it wasn't a real Fender, sold to me who knew it wasn't a real Fender, then sold it on to someone who kew it wasn't a real Fender. Such a trail of destruction.. so many suffering kittens and puppies. I'm going to hell.
  20. wateroftyne
    Can’t wait for mine :-)

    OMG... it's still going! I'm going to check back in a couple of days and see if it's still alive. If I was a betting man..
  22. wateroftyne
    If we acknowledge that Prowla feels strongly about something that the vast majority of BC don't give two hoots about, can we forget all this and move on? Can we? Please?
  23. wateroftyne
    First beans, now fish? Good cod.
  24. wateroftyne
    Right. So it's a problem for Fender, then. I'm sure they'll deal with it if it's bothering them.
  25. wateroftyne
    Forgive me for the bluntness, but... so what?
