miles'tone Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Has anyone taken the pickguard off theirs yet? Any router channelling under there or is it clean so you could leave it guardless? Quote

But it has a 'road' stamp on it and a drilled hole, so would need some work if you wanted it bare. Quote
rhcp128 Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Couldn't resist and pulled the trigger on one of these! Quote

AndyTravis Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Think if my Sandberg goes I'll be having one... Quote
maldy Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 How does this Flea bass compare with the Fender RW Jazz physically? I had the RW Jazz, loved it, but couldn't quite get on with the neck shape feel. Have any of you new owners tried both? I'd be interested to know any thoughts. Quote
Musicman20 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I've only briefly tried the RW Jazz, but I tend to prefer a slightly fatter wider neck despite having small hands. I learnt on a P bass so a Jazz nut can cramp my hands sometimes. This bass doesn't feel like it has a super skinny neck to me. Quote

I would say that is my preference too. It's taken a few years of buying and selling to figure this out! Quote
maldy Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Uh oh.... I've gone and placed an order... Keep telling myself that the option to return is there....!! Quote
maldy Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I was very interested in the bass when I first discovered it (only a few days ago), but reading this thread has sealed my fate! For all the reasons discussed I think this is a good bass to buy now. Too good a deal in fact! Quote

warwickhunt Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I'm going to run a book on when the first one comes up 2nd hand... oddly I reckon it'll sell just as quick as it did new! Quote
njr911 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Has anyone oiled the board yet? Mine looks a little anemic Quote
police squad Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 yes board oiled. 3 times. looks much better Quote

[/quote] & someone (not from this community surely?) will probably pay more than they could buy a new one for! Watching the eBay one to see if my theory comes true 😂 Quote
King Tut Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Oiled mine. Lovely figured board. The wood that's visible on the worn bits of body looks quite highly figured too. Quote
