JJMotown

Was wondering if anyone uses them, and their thoughts on sound and tension?

Message was sent yesterday. But doesn't come into affect till next week. It doesn't apply to bulky items, so basses should be OK to send with own postage rate.

Why don't people post this sort of question in the Amps & Cabs section, where they talk ohms?

That's wicked. 😉

A fender CS 63 will give the op what they want. Along with the right strings, flats won't do it.

There's a significant difference between a CS 62 and a tonerider. Fuller sounding, better low mids, dynamics, and a lot more output.

That's not helping the gas.

Seller claims a Fender body on this bitsa? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135631315705?_skw=bass&itmmeta=01JPJATMN2V6N96EAAB0ABNJC0&hash=item1f9441a2f9%3Ag%3AXn8AAeSwf0pn2DSk&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dD4fsrCtIavrSUpMGOGhkdwjy0WiTC%2F0GQjHEH5xDZ9wCrayxpIVQsN%2FUhmDmGxNYYD%2B8g%2B4B9QercumjK7pGjMT4T3gp8D5bmaZ3z2cSNHn3jFjfhwlZZhhcb707wZK64%2B8A6dVrkPv1ajzxy2pDi4t9AITYT%2BxK4fYSBXT1Sq5GRIyIBQz9Wwlsd3nHNmn6jIJZ%2BskvplAEeCcNQnb3IOGCx4M9FWST%2BF2O7r5XV5L6rUWlXFuBddrad0oakNWTxtUQPhcAJHkxW3Gy5Sv1U|tkp%3ABk9SR-bK6sq0ZQ&LH_ItemCondition=7000|3000|2500|1500

Yup, there's a few threads on here about vinyl wraps, just use the search function.

The cost effective option, if this is what you're looking for is to get your design printed onto a vinyl wrap. That way you can always change it back later on.

Really, you should make a thread about that. Should probably also read the OP is looking for nickel rounds.

Well, seeing as it's cheap 90s jazz with possible heavy ply body, I'd say you've overpriced it. Rockwood basses which are identical and no doubt made in same factory at the same time go for around £50. I saw someone trying to sell one of these on ebay recently, claiming it was Japanese with inflated price to match, that wasn't you was it?

How's it dodgy? Rosewood neck, all looks right, doesn't look well looked after.

Looks great. Are the pickups single coils or humbuckers?

I see. I think someone was having a joke. If you take a close look at the P bass for sale on that page, and compare it with a Rockwood (by Hohner) lx90b, the early ones will look identical, same neckplate style as those in your pics, pickguard, bridge, even triangle serial number sticker. Only difference would be the headstock shape and logo. Later lx90b models have a plain neck plate like in the pic for the bass for sale on that webpage. Pretty sure it's a 90s bass. Production in Japan slowed right down around 1986, because production costs rocketed, so buyers to cut margins switched to korean manufacturers because they were significantly cheaper.

Why do you think it's Japanese? What gave you that impression? It's a cheap 90s made in korea. You'll see the same style neck plate on Rockwood (by hohner) guitars and basses from the same time period.

Been interested in the harley benton JP450 and JJ450 basses for a while, thought I'd pick one up used, but seems they rarely turn up for sale. So, whatever happened to these basses?

Considering hex keys can be different sizes, finding a one size fits all isn't gonna happen. The adaptor will need to be an absolute perfect fit, otherwise you'll end up rounding out the nut.
