    Purchased pickups from Marcin and arranged to meet up in person to collect and have a chin wag about our basses. Great bloke and very hospitable. Would deal with again!

    Oh believe me I know - I have a Sadowsky Metro J, and two other basses with Sadowsky pres in them. I really want a Sadowsky P though!

    Oh man... if this were a P...

    I have tapes on my MIJ Mustang. The one issue I’ve had is grounding on one gig - because the tape winding doesn’t conduct, I had a horrible earthing buzz that I could only get to disappear by touching the metal bridge or controls. Very annoying!

    I think it looks just fine with a maple board. My Sadowsky has a 59 burst, maple board and tort guard and she’s gorgeous!

    Phone torchlight works just fine. You can also buy replacement UV LED torches on eBay for a couple quid.

    I have Luminlay on my Sadowsky and my two Dingwalls. I also have SIMS Custom LEDs on my Conklin. Doing Luminlay from now on.

    What’s the scale, out of curiosity?

    Paging @Rumple...

    Fanned frets are potentially more ergonomic - I have two Dingwalls with this system so they aren’t the issue, I just have issues with super slim necks (I do have hand problems). The Dingwall necks work great for me even for long gigs, as do chunky P necks.

    I owned the SRFF806 for a while which is similar. I’m very used to fanned frets (I own a Dingwalls Super P5 and Super J5), liked the scale and overall thought it was an excellent bass for the money, but the neck was too thin for me and I kept getting hand cramps when I played it so it had to go. I would love one with a slightly thicker neck.

    I have a Jazz neck on one of my Precisions. Some might argue that it changes the tone, but I’d say it has more of an impact on the way I play... which then changes the tone.

    I have a Bareknuckle 58 in my 61 Precision and it sounds great. The Nordstrand NP4v in my 64 Precision is also fantastic, slightly more modern sounding wide open but easily dialled back. I have an Aguilar sitting around somewhere too...

    I’ll take this if deal falls through.

    I went to try that bass, I ultimately went with a Bravewood my friend was selling, but it was very nice.
  16. therealting
    There’s a 55 Precision project on here which is pretty nice.
  17. therealting
    That is a total steal. I already have a very similar Sadowsky with Nordstrands, and I really don’t need another... but this is such a bargain that I’m thinking about it...

    The new MIJs are very good. The JVs were only made in 1983-84 though.
  19. therealting
    Is the dodginess with the adapter itself, or with the connection?
  20. therealting
    My general feeling is that they are very good basses, that were astounding value up until relatively recently when they became fairly priced... some of the ones I see advertised are, IMO, a little overpriced for what they are. The subsequent MIJ Fenders are, IMO, probably better value at this point. £900 or more for a JV Squier is getting up into AVRI or non-export MIJ territory.
  21. therealting
    These aren’t the Res-O-Lite ones are they?
  22. therealting
    I’d love a sunburst Fender Japan model with a tort guard...
  23. therealting
    Do you know if they made them in sunburst or white? I’ve only seen them in black.
  24. therealting
    @Rumple, I’m really digging your MIJ medium scale Jazz and am actually toying with putting a J-Retro Deluxe in to really push it over the top. What are recommendations for medium scale Ps to try?

    Check out Kaikurosawa on Instagram. Incredibly musical on some very unlikely-looking instruments.
