wateroftyne Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) A bit of a get-together down by the Tyne today. Lots of it spent messing with a Kemper and a mad Russian plastic bass from the 80s. Edited December 4, 2023 by wateroftyne 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbance Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Interesting, I've got one and almost bought another from Reading last year, it was a natural finish one not the burst which I have....still regret not getting it.

Beedster Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Defo a trad feel to the basses on show, and nothing at all wrong with that 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Who does the Flea Jazz belong to? I've always liked the look of those but have been put off by tales of shonky necks (surely a tiny percentage of all those sold, since you only ever hear about problems). Can it get a good growly Jazz sound going? I'm not expecting a 70's style ash 'n' maple style growl but I like a little bit of a buzzy snarl from a J. What did you all think of it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I can see the red peeking out around the bottom there. Still very unusual though, almost Antigua! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
