    Change in circs means I would be better off with 2 x 112's. Something has come up relatively locally, so, whilst they are up, this will be. Once they go, this will get withdrawn to deal with the circs in a more leisurely manner So, pretty much immaculate, less than a year old Gen 3 Super Twin. Steel grill. Total cost new inc delivery and Roqsolid, would be £905. The cover is a bit mucky. Photos to follow when the wife goes out, cos she's going to do her nut Spec [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Twin.htm"]http://barefacedbass.../Super-Twin.htm[/url] £650 collected from Wigan or meet up within 50 miles. Sorry, unusually I don't have the time to sort courier out. Any trial in Wigan, no obligation. Feedback below. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    Big influence on me. Great player, lovely bloke. He also has some input on the Yam Attitude page on Facebook (when he isn't touring). Occasionaly I'll do his bass lead from Burn as an intro when we do Doctor Doctor. Just to wind the guitards up Love his style, amazed by his technique. But only for 25 years

    Hmm, those 2 cheap basses you mentioned at the end. I briefly had a "tribute" made by one of them. Neck kept moving at the heel. Took neck off and the end of the fretboard looked like it had been finished by chewing, not any kind of saw. Appalling. That was actually the 2nd one I had and the 1st also suffered from neck movement. Thankfully I returned the 1st one with no further investigation. So, as we all know, QC is not just a Fender issue.

    Lovin that Steve, congrats fella , bet that's a real powerhouse. I had an upside down headstock, freaked me out. Using furthest tuning peg, attempting to tune to G when of course it should be E But there again I'm an old confused fool

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1467739657' post='3085809'] Slightly OT, but does anyone know why any bass manufacture today would design a neck/truss rod system that would require the neck being loosened or removed to alter relief? It just seems bizarre! [/quote] I'm with Kev on this one. I know the modern ball/hex key system wasn't used then. Despite my Clayton being based on late 60's bass, and it looks the part, it has the modern system and is so much bloody easier. Not vintage (anorak) correct, but yes, so much easier.

    Nice!

    Further pm's replied, thanks folks. A black, HH Bongo most tempting so far, but I know I don't get on with fully active basses . Shame, cos black Bongos look the poodle's privates.

    I pretty much follow the splendid Carl Pedigo way of setting up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIzV9462xeE I mean, a lot of Lakkies are based on vintage Fenders
  22. karlfer
    Really surprised this fabulous, desirable bass is still here
  23. karlfer
    It didn't need a shim Martin, action was good when it arrived, bit better after a bit of fettling. I know some folk only loosen the screws on the neckplate to adjust the truss rod on these vintage/vintage style basses. I always take the neck off fully. I'm clumsy and don't want to drop the thing when the screws are only biting 1/4 of an inch I set it by gradual turns on the truss rod screw, but it rarely takes more than two goes to get it right. Possibly because I've done 1 or 2 Relief is set at 8/1000ths at 6th fret.

    It was only a few of the 62's Chris, but there are quite a lot of comments regarding it, particularly on TB. I've had a couple of AV 62 RI's over the years and didn't have any issues, but it was always there at the back of my mind. Seem to remember you had a similar issue with an AV57RI. That is more concerning, as they aren't exactly a slim jazz neck are they . I think what I'm ever so slightly annoyed with myself about, is putting the Clayton up to fund this. The Clayton is frankly a better playing bass with one of the best Fender necks I've played. It is heavier though. Just the bloody dint in it, and dreading every movement on stage waiting for the next clumsy moment . The Flea is VERY good imo, the niggles are tiny, I know I will never worry about it on stage.

    It's a very good bass Chris, with some great features, especially for a Fender in this sort of price bracket. But ultimately, it's a Fender Jazz, so no massive surprises. It's the looks that are different to most jazzes, I guess. The niggles I have are generic for any Fender stack knob and really I knew about them before I bought it, so not unexpected. With the neck being a tad thicker, I would hope that it's not prone to the neck issues AV 62 RI's were prone to. The unexpected QC niggles are really very tiny and easily solved. I guess the most outstanding feature for me is that it's probably the lightest Fender Jazz I've ever owned.
