This might be a good bet:

Does it have to be a Jazz?

Do folk not understand that the world and its views change over time? If I don't like a particular lyric then I choose to not listen to it, I don't write to my MP. Just loop the Pistols "No Fun" endlessly....

Nice looking beastie.

I have an ACG version. Top rock bass (for me at any rate).

Snap on the Sandberg. The best non-F jazz bass in my possession is my ACG. I do also have a Limelight replica of Geddy's '72 Jazz which is pretty good and a proper vintage P which is great but not for gigging at every venue we play at!

I used to own this bass (until I realised that I couldn't play 5-string fretless basses). All three pickups were active and the controls included a 4-way pickup up switch and a blend control as the filter preamp only had two channels. The bridge and neck were switchable between bridge only/both series/both parallel/neck only and the combo selected could then be blended with the middle p/up. Massively flexible tool but did also produce some odd phase cancellations. I recall that my favourite with a combination of the bridge and the middle pickups.

Did anybody mention Cream yet?

I did once try the "well you only have one a*se, why do you need so many pairs of trousers" approach. Needless to say the casualty nurses were (slightly) more symathetic 😞

Yup, good CD and a cracking voice for this kind of thing. Free definitely worth your time too.

May I also suggest Hundred Seventy Split are worth checking out. Leo Lyons, formerly of Ten Years After (another great blues band), on bass.

Paul recently purchased some strings from me and having discovered that we worked in close proximity very kindly wandered over to th'office to collect them. Top banana, thanks for your business.

Plus a kidney or two.

Squier Silver Series J and P basses share a common neck with a 40mm nut width.

Nice, just be thankful you weren't born in 1960!

I'm with Roger2611 and Lozz196. When I went looking for a vintage Fender I deliberately sought a bass that had some visible wear as to me it probably signals it's a good item and has been used not abused (and hopefully maintained) rather than stuck in a cupboard. As original as possible and un-modded. Mine actually has one none-vintage strap button but I guess I could always remove the old hootenany button and use that instead and leave a hole in the headstock. Gratuitous vintage Fender pics (it's a '66):

Wales, Wales Bloody great fish are Whales ...To the tune of Land of my Fathers - probably the best anthem in the world evaaah and I speak as an English person. Every time I hear it at the rugby in Cardiff it absolutely sends a shiver down my spine.

Not a Fender expert in any shape or form, but I don't believe in 'free lunches'.

The only thing Fendery Jazz bass I've played with a wider nut was a Squier SIlver Series Jazz which had a 40mm nut (slightly narrower than the B neck). I think I'm right in saying this particular neck was used for both the P and J basses.

I surprised myself recently by rather liking Fly From Here. Can't remember the full back story, but I think some of it was written somewhat earlier than it's release.
