This guy must be laughing all the way to the bank. He just sold a telebass equivalent with Squier parts, unkown body etc for a cool £605, excl postage. Are people getting carried away and not reading the descriptions properly?

The Bass of Doom is alive and well. Trujillo has even used it on stage and Felix Pastorius recorded with it on the latest Yellowjackets album. I can imagine it might make an appearance in the Jaco movie as it is now. Remember it was re-built/ veneered after Jaco trashed it on stage. Some people own othe basses used by Jaco. I think one of his fretted jazz basses sold at auction in recent years for around $12500.

If Trujillo needs to raise funds simply sell the 'Bass of Doom', sorted. I'm surprised it's not in the Fender museum already.

Ernie Ball flats springs to mind.

I avoid this store and all the other local guitar shops. They keep taking my money!

One of the first bassplayers I was ever introduced to. R.I.P. to a fellow Scot.

Pretty strong consensus on the neck size. As previously stated, wide but not deep. I like mine as it guides my hand to different notes than my jazz bass. It makes me play more within my means. More thought and less speed. A classy feel.

I have a lefty in two-tone burst. Nice and light, thewide neck will give your hand a good workout in an unashamed manner.

I have tennis-elbow in my right arm. No idea how it started. Saw a specialist and got some physio. The physio helps (like the exercises stated above) but the best thing for me was to simply take a break from playing bass. A period of complete rest for any injury is the best method of rehab.

Let me guess, you only asked for a 'light' relic job :-)

I have the Eden wtx264 with Eden 12" cab. Not as powerful as you require so would prob be the 500 to run two cabs. The sound is very natural. Warm and even. Amp head is mega quiet and the DI is great. I use it for feeding the drummer his own signal. Has ground lift too. Tiny footprint this amp. I can manage my bass and whole rig in one carry and Im vertically challenged.

Been thinking of converting one of my two Fender J basses to a stack-knob. Eager to get some feedback from those who use one to understand how the tone differs etc. Is it better or give more options or is the standard concentric setup best with the stack-knob just an aesthetic choice?
