Dr.Dave Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 [quote name='Rich' post='190433' date='May 2 2008, 12:42 PM']Nah, it's more like: Gang of Precisions: "You're gonna get your fackin 'ead kicked in, you're goin' 'ome in a fackin ambulance, Chelsea Chelsea, etc" Lone Jazz: "Oh for god's sake grow up, you boorish neanderthal cretins." [i]*old Ibanez Musician fretless turns up and arrests hooligan Precisions -- it's a Police bass, y'see...*[/i][/quote] Exactly. Why have a tool kit with 3 hammers and bugger all else. WoT's hammers are particularly tasty though , the pic of them with the jazz spent some time on my desk top! I can well understand him wanting the Jazz to be played though and selling it for that reason. Would I have been interested in buying it??? No..Yes...No..Yes...Maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thought it was glorious. I think there's a lot of P fans in these parts who just might consider a Jazz with a P neck. It's not cheating , you know!!

Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 [quote name='Beedster' post='189835' date='May 1 2008, 04:44 PM']It was only a Jazz so it doesn't matter. Now, if you'd sold one of your proper basses I'd have been worried Chris[/quote] Shame on you mr Beedster, my jazz says it's up for it any time if the precisions can get a note from their mums see what you've gone and done there will be trouble before bedtime you mark my words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellrazor Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 [quote name='wateroftyne' post='189998' date='May 1 2008, 08:50 PM']Cheers folks. I've had it a few years now, so it was a wrench to see it go. The new owner is going to be gigging it, and it's what it deserves. I'll try and numb the pain by buying a new amp, I think...[/quote] The new owner HAS gigged it - twice so far, another two this weekend - and it's an absolute cracker! Must say, I do appreciate how hard it must've been to part with it, I love this bass.... Sounds so much better than a P..... Ahem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Might be bringing the tone down a bit but I didn't see any numbers - how much did you sell it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a player not a collector.[/quote] Are the two mutually exclusive? Can you not be both a player [i]and[/i] a collector? I would if I could afford to (with regard to vintage instruments...)

Sibob Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='196882' date='May 12 2008, 07:37 AM']Are the two mutually exclusive? Can you not be both a player [i]and[/i] a collector? I would if I could afford to (with regard to vintage instruments...)[/quote] I think the general rule is that if you're a 'player' (which i take to mean you earn a vast bulk of your income from music), you can't afford to collect really rather expensive vintage instruments, and if you're a collector chances are you went down a job route that didn't allow a music career. Also, most hardcore 'collectors' wouldn't buy something that was too 'mojo'd, or not all original, so again....lotsa money There are of course exceptions to the rule, musicians who have done exceptionally well in their career who can afoord such things, but they are few and far between! I was looking at WoT's Jazz, but couldn't shift my upright in time, gutted indeed! Si Edited May 13, 2008 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 I collect and play. And sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 If that Jazz had of had a maple board I would probably sold one of my kidneys for it. Stunning bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
