This is the best I can do my friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rWifC0SRW8

Well done you guys who sussed it was the cursed cigarette...not only bored bass players but guitarist too used this trick to on endless 12 bar blues solos etc. sorry no prizes this time as the cupboard is bear after Xmas..🤔

For the eagled eyed and "Vintage " players among us will probably be able to spot this, as the younger players who never experienced the delights a cancer infested smokey pub /club /gig perhaps not.....no offence or discrimintion intended folks 🤐 note the dark mark near the tuning peg E string..what is it? headstock is a 1962 Jazz

Vintage to me is pre CBS....

Ebay is worth a view...

As an owner of a 1962 restored Jazz bass as time passes and instruments get older they will need some extra TLC and possible replacement parts i.e. pots frets bridge nut etc. even those that are locked away and never used.. it seems everyone wants a prestine condition vintage but few take the plunge and decide to actually buy one due to the cost of ownership look around at antique furniture paintings vintage cars etc. most have had some restoration done at sometime my bass at the time of writing this (2021) is 59 years old to be able to play it live / studio or otherwise it will need some work done they all will the alternative is to lock it away in a case somewhere and never use it which isnt what I want on reflection I prefer a restored used instrument ( all my basses and guitars are secondhand ) Im not afraid to take her out and play live if it gets a knock its not the end of the world it can be fixed / restored mended I paid more for my car at present than the bass..the car is devaluing daily unlike the Jazz.. just my view guys yours will probably be different...

Thanks Guys appreciate your help....😃👌

Thanks Dad 3353.. appreciate your help.. of course the good stuff always costs money just wanted to do one track just to see how it comes out I've a love / hate relationship with home recording oh well its a tough old life for some, but seriously thank you...😀

Hi Guys..can anyone recommend a half decent bass vst to use on ableton 11 a free edition would be great a soild rock bass sound would be ideal tried using DI into scarlett but..albsolute dire sound Cheers, john

just to add a comment what people probably dont realise is that there buying a work of art not a can of beans so to speak..which is the same price more or less wherever you go in the country what one person percieves as expensive another sees as not you can spend £10- 75k + on a car and drive it off the showroom and it will devalue instantly let alone over the next 5+ years

Agree with you there friend..most people would rather spend the money on a new car or holiday..but not everyone has the love of old vintages..

Any bass or guitar boils down to personal preference and how much you can afford IMO..and Ive played plenty probably more than most on here I started playing in the early 60s absolute with crap gear clawed my way up to better stuff

What you think is crazy money wont be in 5-10-15 years time

This is my Fender Jazz bass, I bought this some 10 years ago it was not in great condition it had been stripped to bear wood..so spend some time getting it professionaly restore fantastic fretboard and good all round bass Please note now sold and pictures removed..July 2021

Removed as bass has been sold

I recently bought a vintage Jbass from Daniel, at that time I had just come out of hospital and was unable to collect, I wasn't keen on using couriers either, I told him of my dilemma and he actually went out of his way to personally deliver it add to the mix that on that day I unexpectedly ended up in A&E and wasn't even home at the arranged time, fortunately my wife was and all ended well so I found him to be honest, reliable and a thoroughly decent human being....Thanks Daniel you're a true star *
