Can I say the reason was I was too stoned when I posted it.?

Am I missing something, or can we not delete posts.?

Probably in my top 10 favourite Jazz Funk record's. Jimmy's bass playing is just way out there groove. Ferrante's keys are just fantastic...Bobby Lyle on Piano. I had never heard groove like this before until I heard this and mezzoforte

Would anyone here play a £23,000 bass live.?

Maybe ask in the Double Bass section,?

I had a pink one and then a white one. They say everything about how good Japanese basses are and still are.

This is from an MIJ 75 RI Jazz bass. I don' need it. Is scratched but not cracked It's a 3 ply. Collect only.

My local tech guy said only use a very small amount with 100% cotton. Leave it for 5 minutes, then rub the wood clean of any excess.

Lemon Oil it is.

A friend is a carpenter, and he has worked with rosewood for 20 years or so. He said, use it in very small amounts, and it will absorb into the wood after an hour, then polish it. Of course he doesn't know anything about guitars. What would be the difference here..?

Im wanting to wax my fretboard. Its an unfinished Brazilian rosewood (I was told). This species is now banned I believe. So I want to be careful what I put on it. I have this Wax called Antiquax. Is this ok to use. ? Any thoughts.?

An ordinary F Bass..? is that even possible. Maybe dead strings.?

My sisters husbands Rickenbacker. It was awful.. Horrible to hold/play, tone wasn't for me (personally), it was like a boat anchor, neck was like a bass ball bat.. He played what I had at the time, which was a Maruszczyk Elwood Jazz 5 and didn't like it. Each there own.

Im sure there are millions of people out there who wouldn't dream of giving up there very expensive separates. (CD/Tuner/Turntable,etc)

Do you mean carbon reinforced necks, or carbon neck's?

Ok cheers. I would have the top would snap. Obviously not. Thanks for the info.

It just occurred to me the top on my Jazz on the arm rest part is still the top wood. Looking at it from the side most of the top wood is only fairly thin, but get to the arm rest part of the body, and its still the same. Usually builders will just sand that part, exposing the main body wood. Just wondering how he did this.? . I presume he's cut the top wood deeper on the arm rest, so as not to loose it when sanded down. ?? I hope this makes sense.

Don't know about the bass but those Ultrabass combos sound great.

Just SUPERB.!

Ive got to learn this. I used to sit there for days on end, learning Incognito bass lines, so no problem (me thinks?). I've not played properly for a while, so it is a hand/mind task. I didn't realise how complex the whole version is. The changes after 7.00 are just superb. Put the East on P Bass mode ( I don't have an envelope filter).. Give me a day and this groove is on lock down.

In line with Lakland Skylines, Less coin than Fender standard's. or what they now call American Pro's I think. ? who really cares anymore. only my opinion. Same preamp and pickups as the USA series. they look great.. 5 different colours, wood pickup covers..Plek'd . Anyone played one.? Lake Placid Blue is lovely... https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/XJPRO-1_LPB.html
