Never had the chance to try the Pro took it out the case and stuck it back in after noticing the damage on it...should get replacement thru the week.

I took my new van der End out to rehearsal yesterday, it was the first time I actually had it in a context of a band. And boy, what a bass...so dynamic, crisp, clear, great EQ... Totally awesome. And it was cheap. What a cool bass.

Here’s a few jazzes.... rogue jazz body at the end with the LP pick up but the rest are jazzes. 

[Dov65]

Well, had a jaunt down to Preston today to meet up with @ead and take possession off this CIJ Geddy it's lovely it really is, had an hour or so playing it & the old arthritic didgits never complained once..what a difference with such a slim neck really a joy to play now. 🙂

Closest i'll get to a US Geddy so here's my Original 70's Jazz, stuck a pearl guard on it today, i'm happy. Did notice there wasn't any felts when i stuck my straplocks on....must be as its got a lacquer finish...i dunno

What’s going on with the string alignment?

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Just finished putting this one together.

It’s a Fender Flea ‘61 neck on a Squier CV body with Lindy Fralin pick-up’s and a custom stack pot control plate by @KiOgon with series/parallel switching. Refin by David Wilson based on an Aged Ice Blue Metallic Custom Shop Precision I came across.

Slightly adrift of poles on E, but the angle of photo makes it look worse

The oldest and newest members of the family. Despite appearances, they're both around the same age, just the ESP has had the misfortune of living with me for the last 30-odd years.

I really like the originals. Well made and sound great. I have a 60"s version in red.

Some better shots.

Nice colour FB, and I like the white pickup covers, what’s the 2 switches on the control plate 

[fleabag]

The covers were aftermarket,    but they're being replaced  with Barts very soon. Next week according to Thomann

The switches are a passive/active, and the other is used to either have a blend of both pups equally, when in passive, or bridge pup only when in passive

[funkgod]

here is a rare one, its like a big yummy lollypop, gorgeous enough to lick, though looking a bit battered now active electrics with warwick thumb bass gold active mec pickups, controls are....vol, pan, B&T stack, sound is crispy and bright very similar to marcus's sound, not very tight at the bottom though so for bottom end punch i use the G&L which just kills it, but for the slappy stuff, in a mix it can cut heads off, super thin frets, nice orig offset body, 62 jazz neck with very thin nut end, of all the jazz basses i have and have had this is by far the best neck, super low action, 100, 80, 60,40 nickles, fotoflame hamburgler is present, and it plays as good as it looks. though its going to have a new body soon.

The wood on that bass looks very high quality.

This is my '99 Am Deluxe JB. I  had it passivized a few months ago since I'd never been a fan of its preamp. I have since loaded it with a pair of Lollar 70's and oh my did that make a difference!

It had originally white pickguard which I painted with car spray paint, and also put in  a black control plate.
