    I got this bass around the beginning of the year from EAD. Really cool bass. Looks great and plays superbly well! HUGE range of tonal options. Here are its mods: The original light oak finish has been stripped back and the body lightly stained with a black oil finish. The headstock has been reshaped (hint of Fodera maybe?). New tuners fitted (originals have been lost in the mists of time). Pickup and electronics are all original (and work fine). New knobs (again the originals are AWOL). Bridge cover and thumb rest added. The bass weighs 4kgs on my digital scales. I can post but would prefer a meet up. I am happy to look at trades for a passive P type bass. I can put cash on top for the right bass. Extra points for a J neck.

    Made in Ensenada rather than standard Mexico now? May have been a thing for a while, I haven’t owned a MIM Fender for about 15 years, so I’m a bit out of touch! 🤓

    I have always played in cover bands and I cannot recall anytime when a song has been rejected by any of the members due to any of the reasons mentioned throughout this thread, if it’s a great song and we feel we can do it justice, then it’s in the set. We do not put every song suggested through a microscope and we certainly feel no need to offer the audience a trigger warning before playing specific songs, we play live to entertain an audience and enjoy ourselves while doing it.

    Does the amp use an Icepower module or is it a proprietary design?

    Or perhaps a custard cream. Very yummy anyway.

    That’s a bargain for a 1970s Fender. Is there a reason why you have redacted part of the serial number, which might be useful information to potential buyers? Not that I’m one, sadly. It looks a lovely thing, especially the way the finish has aged to a creamy custard. GLWTS anyway.

    I need 2nd Jazz bass in my life

    My guitarist bought me little knob covers because I’ve been so excited about mine literally since April. So now all your anagrams look weird to me 🤣

    I don’t find it confusing at all. If something inspires you and gives your life meaning go for it. If you are doing it with sincerity I don’t think it’s anybody else’s business to judge. I always got the impression George Harrison was profoundly moved by his experiences in India and had a genuine love for the country and the music. He did things his way. The only way to do things.

    The bridge cover is off a 51p, probably not original

    A bag of gravel a week...? LUXURY. I like the hotcovers stuff - good quality at a decent price. Their website doesn't say if they're made in the UK (I think they are... have emailled to ask) I had some Roqsolid stuff in the past and found them a bit flimsy butr to be fair, I probably had the cheapest option stuff. EDIT: Hotcovers stuff is made in the UK (They didn't say if their workers work 29 hours a day and pay them for permission to come to work and when they get home, their mothers and fathers kill them and dance on their graves singing Hallelujiah. I assume not.)

    Not sure that the fade is the main reason why this bass looks iffy…

    Totally... I agree... B & C direct are also UK based & the factory is in Wakefield ... What has been described to me sounds like of similar quality.. but not received it yet, so we shall see......

    Is this still available? I'm living in Ireland, but i’ll be in the UK this weekend. I would be very interested in getting it.

    Cab covers

    Dan Dare replied to SumOne's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Roqsolid aren't the cheapest, but they do make everything in the UK. They don't sell stuff made by people earning a bag of gravel a week in third world factories.

    An engineering marvel. The tailpiece is so simple, but so effective. And the headstock, very neat for something with 12 tuners. Very pretty - I'd be all over that if it was a 15-string....

    I'm not sure this is as confusing as you seem to find it. Cultures bleed into and enrich each other - this is a good thing. Taking ("appropriating") an element of another culture in order to suggest a shared experience that may not exist introduces the risk of looking insensitive or cynical. Much as you yourself alluded to above: it's a matter of intent and sensitivity to the subject matter.
