Nice!

I love a set of Pro steels but quite enjoying the Fender nickels that came with the bass currently.

And now another new one! https://skurvi.bandcamp.com/

Here's a new single from my band, i'm pretty pleased with how its come out, have a listen! https://skurvi.bandcamp.com/

I heard about this, bungle is a good lad! Fun fact, if you ended up playing his black Matt Freeman, that was my old bass!

Blast tyrant is definitely my favourite.

A pleasure as always. Catch you soon!

If you want to get a similar sound to matt Freeman you may want to consider what album you like the sound of, he's been known to use jazz's and precisions.

https://www.thirdcirclerecordings.co.uk/ This place is good if you're on a budget. James is an enthusiastic guy and has been over to America and worked with Steve Albini in the past. My recent experience has been spending as much as you can afford results in better results.

Lozz is actually taking about himself! 😂 That aside doesn't Joe Dart still use an old Mexican jazz?

I've got the precision, very playable and nice and light. I'm pretty happy with it.

Lady luck bar often has up and coming rock /punk bands on from Thursday onwards, often free entry. Also did a decent vegetarian meal if I recall correctly.

So another one on order then eh?! 😉

Was sorting through my files earlier and found this, thought it might be of interest to see the prices at the time! Great value basses now.

You might want to try the American specials, lovely slim neck on those. I probably wouldn't have the neck remodeled mainly because if it still isn't right then it may effect resale value.

Sell em and get a jazz. 🤟🍺

I also had a couple of matt freemans and it's certainly no worse than them. I fear that across the pond they tend to become hysterical over any perceived difference. Personally, I think it sounds and feels great- rolled fretboard for half the price of the Mexican? Its good enough for me.

I've got one, unsure if the bridge is standard size but happy to throw you some dimensions if helpful.

I wouldn't listen to what that lot say

Sorry about that, but I was weak! Frankly for the money, flip it!

I have a Fender jazz Pro, I today tried the classic vibe range of basses. I today bought a classic vibe precision because it felt lovely, the country of origin or body didn't make a difference to me.

Because I'm a tart and I didn't like the colour scheme!

I went shoppng for a cheap backup bass yesterday, tried 3 squiers. The first, a squier contemporary jazz was a dog, heavy, brittle sounding pickups and a rough almost unfinished neck. Hastily handing this back I was given a Vintage modified jazz to try which was almost perfect. I could barely tell the difference in feel from my US jazz. Umming and arring I then tried another vintage modified in my preferred colour scheme and this left a lot to be desired. It was better than the first bass but nowhere near as good as the second. All the basses were made in Indonesia. I didn't come away with anything on this occasion but it goes to show the need to try before you buy on instruments at this price.

I've had to put it up for sale unfortunately, not by choice! They just feel great to play.
