    Boomy might be an EQ issue, less bass more low mids might help. If you want to try compression may I suggest a Zoom B1on multi effects pedal, cheap as chips, has a few modelled compressors in it and you get all the other effect thrown in, a great way to try what works for you.

    I put together a MIJ Jazz many years ago and struggled to find one of those straps, a kind soul on here sent me a small sheet of brass, it was way thinner than the standard fender stuff and easy to cut with decent scissors, it looked OK but more importantly it did the job

    That was indeed meant to be there, I'd fashion a new one from a sheet of brass.

    [quote name='Rikki1984' timestamp='1502691073' post='3352819'] Very early Sterlings did have that bridge with the mutes. Potential bargain there for someone. [/quote] Ah, I didn't know that

    The weird thing is it has a bridge with mutes like a pre EB Stingray, the tuners look older than the body and neck as well. Bids at £88 well worth looking at if you are local.
  7. Rumple
    Yes, what a fool!

    Everything is so cheap these day which is both a blessing and a curse

    Unsurprisingly no bids

    I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before? it's a huge collection of digitized 78's that are downloadable. I've just had a listen to some Ray Brown and a version of Tiger Rag by Muggsy Spanier [url="https://archive.org/details/georgeblood&tab=collection"]HERE[/url]

    Great work, really looking good so far.

    Clearly has a MIM serial number but he's insistent that his one is US made due to the neck plate! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USA-Fender-Precision-Bass-Junior-2005-/192269243003?hash=item2cc423d27b:g:fIQAAOSwONBZCc-Y"]HERE[/url]

    [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1502266709' post='3350267'] pics link no worky, just get a blank screen? [/quote] [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1502266952' post='3350271'] Working OK for me tom [/quote] Working OK as far as I can tell, PM me your e-mail address if you still have problems viewing them and I'll ping them over to you.

    I'm far from a Fender expert but I'd guess it's was originally a red 62 RI Strat that's had the finish removed and an aftermarket trem fitted.

    [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1501967716' post='3348582'] I might be able to post pics of a more messed-up bass tomorrow... [/quote] go on then!

    [quote name='Burns-bass' timestamp='1502022787' post='3348777'] This is a beautiful amp in showroom condition. I'm sure you've considered it, but it might be worth adding it to Gumtree. I sold a similarly aged amp and had a huge amount of interest in it. [/quote] Thank you, TBH I've never bought or sold anything on Gumtree I'll certainly give it some thought though.

    [quote name='GremlinAndy' timestamp='1501967022' post='3348572'] You should re-name the sale to "Punk Ready" bass. [/quote] True I was probably into punk when I got this!

    Thanks for all the comments.

    [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1501936579' post='3348331'] I remember quietly lusting after these when they were brand new, in 1980. Cost £99 and a combination of not having the money and the bass having "Satellite" on the end meant it didn't happen, despite being the cheapest through-neck bass in the world. Finally got one about 10 years ago, a proper fixer-upper, from BCer geoffbyrne. Pretty decent bass allround, if you're OK with the baseball-bat neck & backache! MIK rather than MIJ, I think, like all the Satellites I've seen. Definitely worth £65, no bother. [/quote] Thanks, changed the listing to say MIK
