Oh yeah definitely. There is a difference between "old" and "vintage". I have a Rokkoman 12-string acoustic from the 70's in my classroom that is very cool and sounds great, but is mainly "old".

That would mean that any bass from before 1995 is considered vintage and I don't think most Fender fans will agree with you on that But it's weird. When I started playing in 1999, pre-1980-ish was already considered vintage. 26 years later, it's still pre-1980. For me and most people I know anyway.

Does anyone know of double bags that fit 2 Mustangs? I'm going on a tour in April and I'd like to take both my Mustangs along.

I really really dig the Kithara Samson bass that Dave Landreth plays. Sounds great, too:

I would not. I only want that particular JV.

The Squier JV Precision I bought for €75, sold it for a lot more and have tried to buy back for a few years now. The current owner is the guy I sold it to. He knows I want it back, but refuses to sell it back to me (because he really likes the bass, not because he hates me...I hope).

Every since I bought my 1966 Jazz I've developed a love for the lollipop tuner. You know, the tuners Fender used from roughly 1966-1968. I'm currently at 4 bases with lollipops. When I had the De Gier built, I specifically asked voor lollipop Tuners. Sander doesn't (or didn't) like them, but I'm super happy he agreed. Lovely lollipops😍 I'm also considering swapping the tuners on 3 other basses for these.

Thanks! I checked with Hipshot if I could do the same with the HB1's on my JO4 but unfortunately not...

Just replaced the tuners on my JO5 with lollipops. Sooooo pretty❤️

I've bought a few basses blind and have never been disappointed. Orderd my Sterling Ray34 online, and bought my two USA Laklands abroad without having played them. They're among the best basses I've ever owned.

Oh by the way, I was also checking out this Mustang for sale in Germany: https://secondhand-musicland.de/produkt/1971-fender-mustang-competition-gitarre-und-bass-candy-apple-red/ Very lovely set but insanely priced. I inquired about the price for just the bass. They're not planning on a separate sale, but did indicate that just the bass would have to cost around 5-6K (in €). Crazy. They also seem to think 16 and 17 on the neck stamp stand for the day. Hey, if you're overpricing vintage Fenders, please be well informed.

Awesome! Congrats, I hope it serves you well and the original electronics do their thing. The PG on my 73 has shrunk and curled up, crooking the screws a bit. I don't mind, but if you really want to prevent that from happening... It's a very pretty bass.

Exactly. "Player grade" means (in my book) in good condition, playable but maybe a few bits changed and otherwise well taken care of. This bass desperately needs a refret and some electronics work. Is that player grade? I don't think so.
