    Coventry is too far for me I'm afraid but no worries about lines, I started playing aged 14 with a bass my Dad made for me, couldn't afford fret wire in those days, must admit it had pencil marks though Looking forward to more pics. Cheerz, John

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1344086619' post='1759582'] £862 from Thomann - bargain! I thought brand new Fender Ps were well over a grand at present. [/quote] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_american_standard_pbass_rw_ow.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_american_standard_pbass_rw_ow.htm[/url] I had a job finding it 2nd time around, but there it is!

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344076486' post='1759413'] Think I'm going to go with my craving and get one of these on order: [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-USA-Fender-American-Standard-Precision-P-Bass-Olympic-White-Maple-Unplayed-/110900217512"]http://www.ebay.com/...d-/110900217512[/url] [/quote] [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1344080390' post='1759471'] At that price, even with shipping and customs charges, that will be a great buy. [/quote] [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1344080861' post='1759479'] Wow! that is good value. Lucky I have my GAS in check for now. [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1344083770' post='1759528'] Nah I don't think I'll get one imported, more than likely ask a store to match Thomann [/quote] From ebay/USA that'll end up costing you an estimated £988.75 all in - from Thomman £862 53 - simple choice!

    I would also have a look at the American Specials, you might find some bargains around, 1st I found for example: [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=11010712231031"]http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=11010712231031[/url]

    As I said to another chatter the other day - I've had 4 (i think) Mexican P-s - none of them were 'keepers', nothing wrong with as such, sold them here & I believe the buyers are very happy with, but my USA's are staying. The choice is yours, I'd say USA if you can afford it & want a player + a keeper

    [quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1343986109' post='1758148'] By far the best method is to take them apart and rewind the coil yourself using a hand drill. [/quote]

    Now I understand, thanks for that, does look good, colour me tempted

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1343669294' post='1753447'] This is my modded JV Precision, it's an '83 model made in Japan ofcourse and has all the ID stamps on the body, neck butt, etc, plus the usual Fender stamped shim in the neck pocket. I bought this because it has such a lovely neck and at the time I hadn't played a decent fretless before. The board is unlined ebony and has dots on the side to indicate the marker positions - not each fret, I have found it an easy bass to play and very intuitive. The second mod is that the original pickups have been replaced with EMGs with a matching Jazz pickup at the bridge. The electrics are a simple volume, volume, tone - the active pickups really bring out the fretless 'mwar' sound beloved of Jaco, Pino, et al. Like all the JV series construction is second to none with excellent balance and a light weight. The bass has the usual JV hardware - reverse tuners, threaded bridge, extra strap button behind the headstock. The scratch plate is a replacement as when I bought it it had a horrible home made one on it and non matching controls. The neck plate has the JV serial stamped on it. Condition wise it has quite a few dings and scrapes and where the Jazz pickup was routed there was a chunk out of the wood subsequently filled and varnished in an attempt to disguise it. It doesn't detract from the overall 'vibe' of the instrument and it could be quite honestly called 'road worn' without being near an over zealous belt sander! The back of the neck is beautifully figured and has barely a mark on it. This is a great sounding instrument and very easy to play but presently neglected so I'd like to gauge interest in a potential sale to perhaps free up some cash. I'm looking at £450 and am not interested in trades as I really need to trim down my collection of gear! [/quote] I like this a lot! Can you tell me what the first mod is? What am I missing? If the second mod is the pick ups? Sorry if I'm being thick but I keep reading it & don't get it Oh yeah - where's the battery fitted? Cheerz, John

    So sad to have to sell, that is one beautiful Jazz, really lovely. Best of luck with the sale & your new business venture. Cheerz, John

    Sold

    Must be one of those 'rare breed' wifes, I've heard about them - never had one ATB

    I wouldn't worry, if you've been trying to tighten it without taking the strain off, it will feel tight, most unlikely to be a problem IMO
  20. KiOgon
    To me - not cool at all! Looks a Feckin mess, neck is totally wrong & far too wide, (at the heel at least) complete abortion of fitting a P-bass pup, how the hell can it be cool? Sort of thing I wouldn't give a Fiver for at a boot sale, must be the most unbalanced POS ever. YHMV John
  21. KiOgon
    Fair enough What might help & is worth always doing - is to - if you're working on your own, position the bass so that you can apply hand pressure to the neck to relieve the stress from the rod before you try turning the adjuster. In other words if you want to tighten the rod, put a backwards bow into the neck with hand pressure first. After loosening everything as above If you've got someone with you to help then it's easier Hope this helps, John

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1343735000' post='1754301'] I shall try I'll give them at least a week. I know that if I do switch back to rounds I'll be annoyed that I have to raise my action haha! But I am very concerned about not being able to turn my truss rod any further... [/quote] How exactly are you trying to adjust the truss rod? Not being funny, serious question.

    It has to be said - these are terrific basses for the money - someone's going to get a beauty GLWTS Cheerz, John

    It depends where you draw the expensive line I only use Fender Bass specific cables, the Gold being my favourite, Platinum is a bit too stiff. Just lately I've been thinking about trying a Asterope - good enough for Bob Babbit (rest his soul) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNENWcEwazk&feature=relmfu"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNENWcEwazk&feature=relmfu[/url]
