    I think California II series is a bit smaller as it was also reshaped to be a lighter-weigh bass that the first series.

    Fender Japan PJ-455 Precision Bass MIJ For sale is this Fender Japan E Series bass (made between 1984 and 1987) that, as far as I can see, is reasonably rare. The PJ-455 is a hybrid precision/jazz bass with a P-Bass neck pickup and a Jazz Bass pickup in the 70s bridge position. The control layout is the classic volume/volume/master tone giving you a very decent tonal palette to explore. While many of these basses from similar series during the era had black necks and headstocks, the PJ-455 took the traditional natural P-Bass style headstock. It’s fair to say that body has ‘mojo’ being somewhat road-worn with a few dings and scrapes. The neck is good with a lovely satin played in feel plus one small nick on the back. Fret wear is minimal. All the electrics work fine. The bass is all original as far as I can see and comes with a decent gig bag. This is a really nice-playing bass with a lot of punch. Priced at a very resonable £450 Specs: 7.25” radius slab Rosewood fretboard with 20 vintage frets 34” scale Maple one-piece neck with very tactile satin finish Basswood body – Very comfortable for long gigs weighing in at only 8.5lbs (3.8kg) Slender jazz bass type neck with a 38mm nut Gotoh tuners Passive electronics: Neck volume, Bridge volume, master Tone control pot As ever I'd prefer to meet up and am happy to jump in the car and meet half way somewhere rather than risk a courier if humanly possible although I appreciate that at the moment it is likely to be the only option and will be an additional £25. If you have any questions please ask, or indeed if you want any more pictures of any detail.

    Thanks. The spacing is akin to a 60's Jazz. The pickups are the Nordstrand 51P (humbucking version). Really pleased with the whole package, but as has been said above a tad pricier than a modded Squier. I actually played the prototype c. 1 year ago at a guitar show and vowed to save up/sell a few basses and order one. Absolutely no regrets!

    I've clearly been negligent in my duties

    I certainly like a two single coil P pickup bass. Recently got this Alpher that I find hard to put down.

    The '79LEs ae also cracking basses.

    I had the Cali I passive VS4s for a while. Gigged it regularly and tbh couldn't really tell the difference sound-wise between it and my backup Fender MIJ P bass. Gratuitious Sandberg pic.:

    Seriously lusting after this one

    Pretty sure that Mark at Classic & Cool Guitars (home of Limelight basses) will also relic client's basses.

    I liked that vid a lot but don't know the band other than by name. Can I have some advise on a good starting point CD to listen to please?
  14. ead
    We are in T3. For one band we are all agreed it's not worth the risk. For the other they are wanting to use the 'it's work' excuse when it really, really isn't since we all have day jobs. I think the other three would do it but I am not comfortable despite having a decent amount of space.

    Possibly. He definitely has one (and did say he thought this was the better of the two). I tried his bass at a guitar show a while back and was instantly impressed and started saving. When I ordered it he did say he was making a batch of 3 but I didn't see any others around.

    I saw a few of the Mini Makos hanging on the wall when I picked up my v2 recenty (obligatory pic below). Sadly I was too pressed for time to try other basses but they looked very interesting.

    Great insn't it when a forum actively prevents you from helping somebody sell a book or two. Bar stewards the lot of them.

    I've received a warning for a code #7 violation and, apparently, 2 points on my licence whatever all of that means. Thread taken down though. Sorry bud

    Now sold thanks

    I enjoyed it myself, right up there with my own work

    Tony very kindly responded to my plea for a short length of velcro for my pedal board. He posted off a couple of pieces almost immediately and then refused to accept any payment at all. What a gent and a credit to the forum. I am most grateful and hope to be able to reciprocate at some point.

    The postman has just delivered a very interesting looking envelope. Will do pics later and some yogic flying to pass the time.

    Ouch, that hurts. Did somebody run a key down the side (just to make sure the paintwork was OK)?

    Good call to put the link in there @Maude . There will be young people here that don't know what Le Mans used to be like in the 60s, have no knowledge of the GT 40 , or even what Gulf fuel was I have a Gulf car for my Scalextric track:
