Young Mr Graham has just acquired some straplocks from me in a very painless and easy transaction. Highly recommended to all fab and groovy BCers. Graham, you are a gentleman and a scholar sir.

I used to be pretty ambivalent about them and I always treat my basses with care. However after acquiring a Fender RW Jazz recently, I have to say it's the nicest Jazz I've played. The finish is growing on me too.

Nige has just bought some strings from me. Perfect gent. Thanks for the easy transaction.

[/quote] Essentially you can have pretty much any combination of the three. The central pickup is a humbucker, the neck is a single coil and the bridge is an overwound single coil. Humbucker goes into one filter stack, the other two can be soloed or combined in series or parallel into the other filter stack and the blend takes care of the mix. So far liking the bridge soloed with some humbucker blended in the most. Early days of course.

Not as many as some others...but definitely less than 6 as I've just checked. They're just too damned nice.

Highly delighted with the two (don't mention it to Eude) ACGs picked up from Moffat today. A modern version of the classic Jazz bass commissioned last year and a prototype fretless 5er with a 3 pickup, multi-switchable option linked into a filter preamp that I discovered at the recent Moffat bass bash and persuaded Alan to sell to me. I'll do some better pics when the sun decides to show itself in the Lancashire area. Don't hold your breath...

It's OK not to like Js, there's no shame in it. Personally I'm a fan.

Dave just acquired a fretless ACG bass from me. Excellent communications and prompt payment etc. A top bloke so deal with complete confidence. Pleasure doing business, many thanks.

Here's a couple of tasters of my Standard J Type. Collecting on Friday. [attachment=192418:Standard J Type 01.jpg] [attachment=192419:Standard J Type 02.jpg]

Yes, absolutely disgraceful. I will have some new pics to share later on...

Hopefully picking the bass up on Friday, so will do pics asap Mr Eude.

And finally, here is the 'Ultimate Jazz Bass' (well for me at any rate)... [attachment=192316:Standard J Type 01.jpg] [attachment=192317:Standard J Type 02.jpg] [attachment=192318:Standard J Type 03.jpg]

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1431798917' post='2775153'] ....and one "you sound like that bloke from tool". [/quote] Are you sure that was what he/she said? Lovely bass in all seriousness. Will confess to lusting after an Uber spec ACG after playing the blue ART finish Recurve, like Eude said great the way every note is so well defined.

I confess to like sunburst, but really not keen on blue/green/red burst finishes.
