  2. polvo started following NBD: 1987 Fender jazz bass (also... what are these things?)

    Just picked up this beauty, a 1987 reissue of a JB-62. I'm partly just posting here to show off, of course, but also because it has a couple of weird features I haven't seen before and I'm curious if anyone knows what they are. First, the metal strip running from bridge pickup to bridge (that line is not painted, it's literally a piece of metal embedded in the body). And second the two small holes either side of the neck pickup. See the third photo for closeups.

    Lighter punch = less chrome depth required

    Looking at a few more (like this one) and the Andy Baxter one it does seem to be a deeper imprint. Making the one on the left look less authentic!

    No. So real that it’s actual brer bear says so

    This photo courtesy of Andy Baxter website:- I believe the neck plates were made using an automatically indexing punch, so not individual punches by hand.

    Yeah, that 'L' is a bit strange. Not seen one like that before. Maybe the serial stamper had been down to the pub that afternoon!

    Purchased at the end of March this year, in mint condition, used a few times but just not for me. Comes complete with genuine Boss soft carry case and Boss power adapter. Will also chuck in the USB cable which you can use to connect to a PC. £200 plus postage from the I.O.W

    Funnily enough, if I had to choose a fake, I'd pick the one on left due to the misaligned digits.

    I guess you meant how much would I pay for this? Hard to tell has I would need more data, more detailed photos and check this neck a lot more.

    All good thanks Steve. Still got the Ultra Jazz, got tempted to swap it for something with a bit more of a subtle finish, but so glad I kept it. recorded with it recently and it sounds brilliant. Hope you are good too.
  13. BombTheBassist
    Yes, I thought that. Might be trick of the light tho.
  14. BombTheBassist
    I am going to try and pop in tomorrow.

    Yamaha Motion MB – III medium scale bass Had this little bass on offer a few months ago but ended up keeping it as I needed a bass for a gig that involved flying (it fits in a guitar gigbag). Really great bass for the money with a big sound and easy on the shoulders. · Body: Basswood · Neck: Maple · Fingerboard: Rosewood · Pick up: Humbucker (Passive) · Neck joint: Bolt-On · Nut width: 39mm · Number of frets: 24F · Weight: ≈ 3.5kg · Control part: 2 Volume / 1 Tone · Scale: 32" / 813mm (Medium Scale) Its from 1988 so it does have some marks here and there but nothing too bad. Everything works great and the frets are really well dressed. Can take a very low action. Its strung up with medium scale Thomastik Jazz Flatwounds that are a great match, it kicks butt! Can ship anywhere in Europe. Price is 400 Euros. If you have any question, just PM me. Thanks!

    The font on OPs photos looks heavier and deeper
  22. LITTLEWING started following Ashdown ABM 600 - VU "light" not working. Any easy fixes?

    What do you do with an amp that doesn't have one? That's right. Turn up the knobs you're used to and play using your ears like normal. Who takes any notice of a flickering needle anyway at any point? I like Ashdown gear but tbh its just another gimmIck to worry about. Just ignore it and play, bro.

    These are excellent drop in replacements for Sire basses btw

    Everything above is correct. The pots are 80's Japanase models, wires are a mix of American and Japanese. The decal over the nitrocellulosic varnish is period correct, but is missing the model name and patent numbers look like gone... The stamp on the neck has the right font for that period with the larger bar on the right part of the A. The fingerboard wood must be Brazilian rosewood, but it really looks like Indian rosewood, which was used later. The pickups are period correct (wire type, grey bottom, no stamp). I won't repeat what others already said, so read it again as everything is right. I definitely need more high definition photos to go further...
