I used to own an mid 70s Antoria Jazz. Was black but had it refinished to natural. The body was an unusual butchers block sandwich. Cracking bass though, -
I have a 32" scale ACG P that compares tone-wise to my Fender P bass, but has an asymmetric neck with 24 frets and is lighter by a fair margin resulting in it being gigged relentlessly displacing my other firm favourite gigging bass my ACG J Type. Token bass pic:

Why not something pre-loved?

Standard Js. They are one of the sets where both p/ups are the same (neck) size and where you don't get as many options.
-
I've just put some active EMGs in a Jazz bass (admittedly not a Fender) and they sound amazing.
-
I have a PF500 as my backup amp that every so often becomes my gigging amp. What can I say, a good little amp has proved solid and reliable for the 2 possibly 3 years that I have owned it (bought pre-loved) so had some use in its life.

Hi folks Just acquired a bass that the previous owner had fitted an unused set of steel-wound strings. I'm a serial nickel wound offender so these will hopefully find a good home. They were fitted to a 34" scale Fender style bass with 4 in line tuning machines. I'm uncertain as to the brand, but the silks at the headstock end are dark blue. £12 posted UK Mainland -
Recently acquired a lovely G&L from James that arrived beautifully packed almost the next day. James couldn't have been more helpful. Completely top BC banana, the kind of bloke that makes this place what it is. Thanks very much.

Unless it's prog, then you have to use a series of prime numbers.

Excellent well done folks, respect is due. I presume these have been independently verified?

I feel we need an evaluation of the contenders for 2019. Did anybody 'win'? I'd love to participate in 2020 and will give it a good gp whilst secretly knowing I'll fail miserably . Are organisations in place to offer support (apart from the For Sale section)?

I put Nordy NP4s in mine. Much improved the sound to my ears, but this is clearly a very personal thing.

Now our kids have moved out we have just got around to re-doing one of their bedrooms and this desk is surplus to requirements. It's in pretty good nick with only a few light scratches. The desk top measures 160cms long by 60cms wide. Overall height is 75cms. Will need collecting

Two strings , is he doing a solo too?
-
Turns the bass into a J bass iirc.

That is a vile abomination of a Pier.
-
Do we need a 'show us your piers' topic so we can decide? You know it makes sense.

Ah but this is neither colour mixing by addition or subtraction but by knitting. Rules apply that are not widely known in this universe Plus the green bit had slipped at the time of the image

Made for me by Jack's Instrument Services in Manchester. Jack turns out top quality stuff and this is a lovely brown tort. Cost me a shedload of squids but available to the good folks on BC for £40 posted to UK mainland.

OK so now I have a whole new type of GAS. Does it come in beige or brown and (obviously) is it any good for metal?
-
Apparently so. I believe lady peeps are also alowed to have thier own bank accounts, even left-handed lady peeps. Phew, safely back on topic.

Yeah, it all went downhill when they got the vote.

Thanks for the info, very helpful. I think this bass predates the accented A judging by the decal on the headstock. I've had the neck off and both neck and body are stamped 1989. It certainly seems very well made with nice quality woods and hardware. Details like the finish on the frets being of good quality too.

Found this lurking around th nether regions of evilbay. Couldn't find masses about these on line but it was made in 1989 in France, American Walnut Body, Maple neck and rather nice 24 fret Rosewood board. Bartolini p/ups and passive V/V/T electronics. Altogether a very nice 24 fret J bass,
