No idea what he is talking about neither of my two Jet basses are afflicted in this way. It struck me as an odd comment that none of the other reviews I've seen have mentioned.

Took the Jet P to practice last night and had a solid 3hrs session with the band to see how the bass performed. In short excellent. The bass is still exactly as I received it barring the strap locks I have fitted. Powerful little beastie that really cuts through, the neck is great to move around on. The stock pickup and electrics work fine, I suspect it has ceramic magnets but clearly that's a guess on my part but it does have a pretty high output. The light weight also makes it a doddle for the longer sessions/gigs. I may try out a Steve Harris pickup that I have knocking about with a good quality loom, but in all honesty the standard set up works really well as in there is no sign of the on/off volume and tone knobs you can get with budget components and the pots have a nice quality feeling when you make adjustments. All in all, a cracking P bass.

I was given this for a birthday (reasonably not too recently). Can I have permission to use this instead of Lego please?

Might I suggest a J East P Retro onboard preamp. You can push the mids when you need to, have the scooped sound when you need it and go passive if you need to. Brucie Bonus is that the tone control works on both active and passive modes. No mods needed to you bass either.

It's here. Very quick look and noodle at lunchtime suggests that it's very well put together with no obvious issues. It sounds great so once again I may just leave it as stock per my JJB-300. The neck is great and definitely different to their Jazz bass as I had thought that they might have done just one neck for both (like the Squier Silver Series basses). Mine is just under 8lbs (3.6kgs) so super usable.

I fitted the J-Retro to this bass when I owned it. Straight swap, no issues whatsoever.

For sure!

They are great, mine is a gold one! 70s pickup spacing too.

I've noticed both the Jet P and J basses have better higher fret access than the F@@@er items. I might have just accidentally bought one of the Jet P basses too

Oooh, I hadn't picked up on a Jet P bass. I now have bad GAS so thanks for that I love my Jet JJB-300 (weighs in at bob on 4kgs) and is still un-modified after several months.

The Graft J Type I recently acquired is soooo much bass for the money.

Apologies folks, I committed a sin of omission and forgot to add my newest 32" scale acquisition to this thread. Strung with Long scale EXL170BT strings. Here's the NBD post:

As I understand it from Alan at ACG, the finish is gloss to start with and then is carefully rubbed down to the desired satin/matt finish. Maybe it's different for higher production volume basses...

Definitely quite nice!

Here's a good one. Plenty of player commentary too:

Indeed. My ACG P bass has something that looks very like a fat humbucker but is in fact a split coil p/up.

I've always really liked the early 90s Japanese-made Squier basses up to the end of the Silver Series range. Cracking instruments for c.£300ish.

Hi folks Have any of you good people dabbled with the LHZ-03 HazLabs Preamp Clone as a replacement for the Tone Pump Jnr? I'm contemplating updating my Pulse II with such a thing, but would like the opinion of the BC collective before jumping. They are selling them at Bass DIrect: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/lhz-03-hazlabs-preamp-clone/

Although didn't he say that he made his finest Post-It notes later on in his career?

Do you not mean the Pete Wentz SBMM passive Stingray?

I'm only now beginning to realise what a lucky escape I have just had.

No sorry, but give me a few minutes...

I'm really not sure. The have black silks, but only at the tuner end. All the ball-ends are gold coloured.
