    Pretty interested in this...
  2. therealting
    The question "Are they worth it?" also usually depends on the price premium (: £30 extra per pickup over stock import pickups? Probably. £200 extra per pickup over handwound Bareknuckles? Obviously not.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1483878961' post='3210759'] Nice bass. I'm thinking of dropping Photobucket for that reason. [/quote] I pretty much stop reading an ad now if it only has a Photobucket link. If I'm really interested I ask the seller to put an inline image in. This is stunning btw.

    Asking price is getting a little silly now, Lawrie!! I badly wanted a six string Jazz a little while ago. If this was a couple pounds lighter and an inch or so shorter in scale I'd be VERY tempted... Have a bump on me, pal.

    Can't wait to see the photos of this...

    [quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1483829672' post='3210530'] Ok so Ive just taken the plunge!! Whats the Worst that can happen when you buy from Thomann B stock ;-) [/quote] Ok, glad you did. Was tempted to pick it up to compare with my Ibanez and Dingwall fanned frets. Seems crazy for £315!!

    Reviews seem... mixed.

    [quote name='jmlbasses' timestamp='1482538401' post='3201407'] [center]Weight 4.5Kg (9lb?)[/center] [/quote] 4.5kg is about 10lb. 9lb is about 4kg.

    What was it?!

    [quote name='natjag' timestamp='1483642201' post='3208997'] Is the sunburst what you have (or will) replace it with? [/quote] I have the sunburst now.
  13. therealting
    It's glossy but has that slight stickiness to it. To be honest if mine doesn't sell, I'll stick a Nordstrand in it and have it as a backup to my 61.

    CTS tend to be the pot manufacturer of choice, with Spragues being the capacitors.

    [quote name='Dancj' timestamp='1483616688' post='3208660'] That's all really super useful - I will deffo contact John and see what he charges. I'm hoping my dad will find the original but I have a fear it was just cast aside back in the day (he removed it for aesthetics but personally, never thinking he'd have a son that would ruin is career and then want his bass WITH the guard ...) If i get modern controls/pots put back on it, will John also be a good guy to go for? [/quote] Yup, I have CTS and spragues on two of mine.

    I'd consider a fanned fret instrument if you like the high C but find the tension causes tonal issues. My Dingwalls are 35-32" scale, and the 32" scale makes a big difference to the G and would make an even bigger difference to C strings.

    I've played 5 with E-C tuning and now play B-G. Both are great for slightly different reasons. I still like six string.

    Count the holes and you're most of the way there. It's the bridge pickup that moved between the 60s and 70s. I still think John does the best aged Fender pickguards - I have three instruments from him, two with Bravewood repro pickguards and one with a vintage guard. They're incredible!
  19. therealting
    Bump (:
  20. therealting
    Bump with photo in daylight.
  21. therealting
    Get in touch with John at Bravewood.
  22. therealting
    73s have poly finish so less delicate than nitro if you want to try cleaning it properly.
  23. therealting
    Quite wanted an Ashula - hope one of these comes up secondhand!
  24. therealting
    Payment sent.
  25. therealting
    Also, I'm guessing the bass itself is completely passive? Are the recordings through the pre?
