  1. Cheers guys, really looking forward to gigging the Precision tonight and tomorrow! One thing I've noticed about the others, is that the 5 string has a much more 'vintage burst' than the 2003, I know that red is the first to go from a burst, but the middle is also much more yellow. The 2003 is almost two-tone, orange to black. I keep thinking one day I'll have it refinished to two-tone.....it'll never be worth anything.......right!? Si

    Picked up a 1971 Precision from Jim. Fantastic as always, good tea and chats Cheers bud Si
  3. I have to say, after I put a badass on a jazz a while ago, I didn't notice any kind of significant increased sustain compared to my standard bridged fenders. I've also found that on the few recording sessions I've done recently, my '03 Jazz has been bass of choice, whereas my '73 gets the pick live. Could he anything though, as has been mentioned. Measure the output of the pickups on both basses, see if that throws up any clues?! Si

Horrah! Si
  5. So after recently selling my 1983 US Fender Jazz, last night I went over to 99sters and picked up a 1971 Precision All original, with it's case, both covers (although only bridge fitted). [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/848/22622810150185321817091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/62/22696810150185321972091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/23072610150185322072091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/23094810150185322342091.jpg/"][/url] I can't wait to gig this bad boy, nice and light, setup beautifully by Andy Viccars. Whilst I had it out, thought I'd take some 'family' photos: 1973 Jazz Bass [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/156/23052310150185322507091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/828/23080210150185322797091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/16/22624310150185322647091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/24850010150185325872091.jpg/"][/url] Uploaded with [url="http://imageshack.us"]ImageShack.us[/url] cont. below
  6. I love also where he says "I think its a one piece body, I can't see any joins", then there's the second-to-last picture of the jack input where there's a BLATENT join lol. It's gonna be a three piece at the very least! Si
  7. One of the nicest Laklands I've seen!, and a great price! Good luck Si
  8. ESP, thats what I mean, not Schecter lol Si
  9. Yeah Otto is a dude, pretty sure that's his Schecter! Will point him over to this Si
  10. Oh I didn't mean for my post to seem self-important, just that (hopefully) a guitar version in the dreaded Em can actually work lol Si
  11. May I put forward my 'guitar bands' effort Forgive the extended intro (we have fun with that live), but we mess with the arrangement of the main tune and I think it works! Si
  12. He's a great player and a fountain of knowledge, new bass sounds ok dunnit, just like all other Foderas I think, which is certainly no bad thing. Would love to see some videos of him playing the hell out of his Precision, I've only seen it on one American chat show, and the mix wasn't great. Also, marginally off-topic, I'm sure I saw Janek playing on one of those horrible 'Sweet 16' tv programs?!, playing for a male American singer-songwriter playing acoustic?!. Anyone confirm this?! Si
  13. Cheers for bumping this, gonna get on top of this ASAP! Did I see mentioned that it also sorts out the issue with the DI?....am on my phone so haven't read the whole thing yet. Si
  14. I've got a HW Precision on an indefinite loan and it's great, no vibe to speak of really, but feels and sounds really nice! I've not gigged the CV Precisions, just the Jazz Si
  15. And to think I paid £250 for my '03 USA Jazz mint second hand lol The Fiesta Red CV looks like a cooler buy! Si
  16. Soo much bass for the money! Still love my '03 Jazz, have a bump Si
  17. [url="http://www.andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=165"]http://www.andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=165[/url] So cool, not a big fan or anything, but just a beautiful example of a very rare Jazz Si
  18. I had a CV Jazz for a while...it got sold, I've owned my MIA Jazz for around 6 years, it's gone nowhere The CV's are great for the money, the fit & finish is easily on par with the MIA, and the parts and sound are excellent for the price. IMO it did feel cheaper in my hands than my MIA though, and the tone wasn't as full or complete as my American Standard. Si

    'The Chicken'

    Can't believe you recorded The Chicken with the Soul Intro!! heresy! Nice work though! Si
  20. 'Waiting for my cam belt to be changed' bump Si
  21. Very nice! They were doing singlecuts back in '99?....Fodera definitely ahead of their time!! Si
  22. I remeber when I first started out, I learned the entirety of Rage Against The Machine & Evil Empire...and Fashion Nugget by Cake too Si
  23. Back up for sale after a brief spell 'pending' Cheers Si
  24. Get in touch with Malcolm at Newtone strings! They'll do whatever tension you want with whatever gauge you you want, custom wound, for no more money than a set of rotos. But u're right, it's all in core size/shape Lovely Si
  25. Dunno if others have said, but I'm working with KRK 8400 headphones, and they're fantastic!. When I eventually add the saffire pro 24 DSP into the equation, I'll be a happy bunny Si
