How on earth did you manage to score that beauty then?

Yep, for vintagey sounds Toneriders are a good call, sound very similar to Fender Custom Shop 62s.

Well depending on cab you can daisy chain so as to use two cabs, so you’re not restricted to just the one. I’ve only used the TC RH amps with their RS cabs and they were a very good pairing.

At a gig in Manchester last year that came on on the jukebox - us kockneykunts as we were affectionately known joined in and showed the northernmonkeys a thing or two about how to sing along to a proper song.

He was no slouch in his Kajagoogoo days so he must be pretty immense now.

These are great basses, I foolishly sold mine.

Good call, I have this as my ringtone, no matter what my mood is every time I hear it it makes me feel better.

If you had more they would form an even surface, so no tripping hazards......

Has a bit of n Another One Bites The Dust sort of feel to it. Great to hear the bass being used properly in some modern songs.

Agree. For some reason though I only like this format on Stingrays, on other basses it just looks wrong to me.

Black, black, maple:

I’ve Jazzes with both, and true to that old theory, I sound like me on either, the spacing doesn’t really affect the sound for me. That said my fave Jazz sound is Deon Usted playing for Wham! Whichever he used is the one I like the sound of best. I suspect a 70s purely to the era, but I may be wrong.

Parcelforce delivered to my work today, and we’re sited near a DHL depot which appears to be working as usual.

Really nice sound on that too, is that very representative of a regular 2-band eq Stingray?

Luckily I’ve just started playing a Jazz....

I put those on all my Fender basses too, you can get specific retainers for the US models, for the Mex/Squiers I get Hipshot ones, saves a lot of hassle for less than £20.

I use the Dunlop Tortex Triangles - essentially due to its shape you get three points on it, so 3 picks for the price of one. I`m a confirmed pick player, used 1.14mm for years, then dropped a bit to 1mm. I`ve now reduced again to 0.88mm, I find them a little bit easier to do intricate riffs with plus, and a rather strange one here, I`ve always like the sound when using the nail on my index finger to play with, and the 0.88s are the pick that sound nearest to that, so I have two reasons to use them. They also have a very cool tortoise on them.

I saw this thread and actually thought someone had bought one of those 15 grand jobbies!

Yep, slightly loose tuner, or a string (usually the A on Fender type basses) not all the way down on the tuning peg, both can cause a really irritating rattle.

Location Methods of payment that will be accepted If item is ok to be sent or collection/meet up only Link to manufacturers full spec if possible

I’m fairly sure me posting a load of Fender Precisions & Jazzes isn’t the idea of this thread, but to me they are the most beautiful instruments ever made (though some colour schemes pass me by).

Yep, same size and bulk as regular ABM. Mine was a backup and have to admit it did look cool having two ABM heads on an ABM 410 & 210 stack.

I think an old Hartke head I had - HA4000 - had either para or semi-Para on it. Whichever it made it extremely easy to get the sound I wanted, tho have to admit it was more by trial & error than any real knowledge.

Pretty good actor too, there was a film based around Coward of The County and he was very good in it.
