    [quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1456613387' post='2990863'] Definitely but it is interesting that it didn't happen with guitars, only basses. [/quote] Oh it did... I often say I have seven Strats, and only two are actually Fenders.

    Stradivarius to refer to instruments made by Antonio Stradivari is probably the closer analog to Fender referring to instruments made / designed by Leo Fender. Jazz and Precision were the model names for two his instruments designs. People probably originally said "Jazz copies" or "Jazz style", but got lazy and they became "generic descriptors" or "proprietary eponyms" in the same manner as Rollerblade, Kleenex etc. I know when I visited Sadowsky and bought my guitar, their staff were very careful to use "S-style" instead of Strat.

    Copies have happened long before Fender was a twinkle in Leo's eye. Strad copies have been around for centuries.

    Wanted to try one of these for a while - just my luck that it comes up a week after I buy a Mono Vertigo and an iGIG 515 ):

    Not only that - I believe the Reflex is being discontinued, so they're going to be collectable. http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-ball-music-man-basses/61272-discontinued-music-man-list-october-31-2015-a.html

    Graham is a true gentleman - made me very welcome in his home. Purchase with confidence.

    This is getting ridiculous - someone buy this please before I do!!

    Dan sent me an iGIG gigbag in fantastic condition - delivered super quick! Would do business with again for sure.

    Lovely. Is the nut spacing 52mm, or is that the full width of the neck at the nut?
  11. therealting
    I have a J-Retro in my Super J. It's fantastic. I do miss the passive tone control from the Deluxe though.
  12. therealting
    It might be helpful to include internal dimensions, just in case someone has a different amp or cab that would fit

    MJT does phenomenal relic work. It's Vox Humana I'm less familiar with. Is the whole neck made of carbon, or is it carbon-reinforced? Am wondering what it will look like when it wears, as it looks much newer than the body

    Gary Willis plays fretless direct to amp. I don't think he even uses the EQ. http://youtu.be/XzIucGD9YOQ

    Sound absolutely fine when played well with no effects.

    [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1456272182' post='2987377'] Get him a Roscoe. Some of those are nice and light! [/quote] Or a Dingwall?
  17. therealting
    Damn! What trades are you interested in...? (he says looking around him)

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1456181707' post='2986452'] Why is this still here? Am I missing something? [/quote] Was wondering the same, this is a bargain for someone. What pickups does it have?
  19. therealting
    Link not working. What is the scale?
  20. therealting
    Top tip for anyone getting one of these: put a J-Retro Deluxe in and you have a MONSTER.
  21. therealting
    Also appears to be a 2013 which is after Fender started getting their act together. Setup, pickup fix (possible replacement if you want better ones), tort pickguard and you'll have an absolutely fantastic bass there.

    Total no brainer for £600.
  23. therealting
    How do you find it compares to the Mono? I have a stable of M80s and Vertigos...
  24. therealting
    I have a J-Retro in my Dingwall Super J, and had a J-Retro Deluxe in my old Modern Player Jazz. Superb preamps. Very different to the Sadowsky pre in character. I do wish I had the Deluxe in the Super J as the passive tone control is very handy, but that would require a jack socket to be cut so I've avoided it so far.
  25. therealting
    This is a bargain and a half.
