Good point well made, that looks at least as good as a mid 70s mocha ?

At least!

What about this mid 70s beast with matching dark Mocha fretboard??

I think you're right. The good tort is invariably good. The bad stuff is notably lacking, but it's the so-so tort which doesn't do anything for me either way.

Bad tort is ALWAYS terrible. Always....

I think it's absolutely lovely - apart from the colour.

I have a ´74 Precision in mocha. It looks like derrière but sounds killer. If I find a non mocha P that sounds as good I´ll happily get rid of that insult for my eyes. But it didn´t happen upto now. It easily rivals my buddy´s 61 Precision. Chances are high that I will have to live with it for quite some more time, yuk.

Not a massive fan of brown but oddly, I'm quite happy to put up with this:

And then of course there's stinky poo-Glo:

Hmmm, not the mocha I thought

It's the pickguard that is the offending item here. The whole bass would work a lot better with a cream or anodized gold guard. IMHO, of course.

I call it Krap-Glo.

Chocolate sprinkles anyone ?

Gold would work but might verge worryingly towards tasteful, certainly compared to its present amusing vulgarity. Amusing to me, that is.

Cream would just be bland. Tried it with cream MOTO before & didn't really like it.

Rather a nice maple neck at Norm's in LA (not Littlehampton)

That is lovely! I think my next purchase might have to be one like that.

This baby is for sale in my local music shop, it was owned by the bassist from the Shadows, it’s a 1976 Mocha jazz bass, although they have rather wisely decided not to include any photos of the body, just this one shot of the headstock, probably a wise decision ?

This is how you do the brown body / maple neck combination ?
