    "Instead of looking back from the present, look forward from the past and see how this was an improvement over a solid bar bridge." I like this way of thinking!!!

    [i]Sorted - by a Telecaster enthusiast who likes messing about with guitars " Give me your bass and I'll sort out that intonation for you, why don't you get a proper bridge for it?"[/i] [i]Not sure what he did but socket is very snug- he didn't fit the new one though! [/i]

    Went for the 64 - looks like a proper classic Jazz - also like other gentlemen of a certain vintage - I went for the year of birth bass. Otherwise it would been the 63 Seafoam Green - I'm not too keen on the other 2 for some reason.

    "Does a guitar need to be black and have pointy things to be "aproved for metal"?" I'm not a great expert but of course it does - are you nuts!!!! You could get poked with a pointy black thing for even questioning it!

    [quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1350227962' post='1835986'] Last night, charity function.....great crowd, get a few odd requests for a classic rock band (Elki Brooks etc) that we manage to busk through but one woman kept on coming up to me and shouting "Chesney Hawkes". After about the tenth time I shout back "Look I know he's put on a few pounds but as you can see I'm not fecking Chesney Hawkes" I think the laughter from the crowd made her shut up at last! [/quote] You sure you're not the one and only Chesney Hawkes!!!

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1350148103' post='1835216'] Yeah that lovely ACG with the nut piezo would be interesting to own. The Hagstrom Viking would be a nice addition to the collection too! Truckstop [/quote] Oh yeah I also like the Viking - it looks cool and it's called Viking - what's not to like! - no idea if it it's good bass or anything though - Yes,i'm that shallow

    It's a good one , been well looked after - previous owner had it since new , I got it earlier this year , and haven't abused it. It's lightweight,all original ,and shiny And it says Gibson on the headstock - so that makes it extra cool , right?

    There's 2 for me Paisley pattern '54 P bass [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/188099-fender-mij-flower-power-54-reissue-p-bass/"]http://basschat.co.u...reissue-p-bass/[/url] not sure if I'd go off it but i find it strangely attractive!! Next one I love - but in such good condition for it's age I'd probably be nervous about causing damage!! Early JV Squier P bass [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/187359-first-edition-fender-squier-precision-bass/page__pid__1835192__st__20#entry1835192"]http://basschat.co.u...20#entry1835192[/url]

    [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1349039700' post='1821079'] Oh man, i remember this bass really well. I was after my first ever bass in 1982 but didnt have enough for a Squier. I remember the jazz bass being £250 and the precision at £230. Me and my older brother played them and loved them but with me also being a lefty i was pretty much scuppered. In fact that same year you could pick up a 70's USA precision for £120 and a 60's jazz for under £300 in Glasgow. My brother must have had 3 or 4 during the 80's before settling with a musicman sabre. Ive just acquired a 57 re-issue lefty Fender precision cij which looks identical to the one here minus the pickguard. [/quote] Lovely bass and it great nick - as a point of reference I bought my '57 JV - made in 1983 ( doesn't have big Fender logo) , in early 1985 for £149 from Cambridge Rock.

    I'll need to have a wee look later, but when I last looked(yesterday)there was plenty good stuff. I presume having the money isn't a consideration! Btw what's the Jetking like, I think they look pretty good
