Thanks chaps!! They are beautiful pieces of art, aren't they!? [quote name='BassBalls' post='69008' date='Oct 3 2007, 01:18 PM']Wow that Precision is gorgeous, the best finish and colour i have seen.[/quote] Cheers mate. I'm just about to put the La Bella 'Jamerson' Flats on it now. Then it will become "The Funkmachine" !! I'd like to ask some opion though. It came with the pickup cover and the 'ashtray', as '62 P's used to be, but there's no ready made holes in the body for them. I'd love to put them on, but I'm not so sure should I start drilling holes on this beauty... What do you think? Leave it as it is or start drilling and put the covers on? Cheers, ervert

[quote name='ervert' post='68166' date='Oct 1 2007, 03:35 PM']I couldn't wait any longer. Went to juststrings.com and orderded a set of Jamersons for my P. Ordered a set of TI's Jazz flats for my Geddy Jazz as well. I've got some heavy rotosound flats on it currently, but not sure if I really like them. They are amazing strings, but maybe a tad too heavy for my liking. They sound impressive though. Nasty growl!! Really looking forward to try out the Jamerson's and TI's. Hope it works out fine. Never ordered from juststrings before.[/quote] Wohoo, exactly one week later the strings are here!! Got a few picks as well for free!! I'm so happy now, as I couldn't find either of these strings in ANY local shops here in Frankfurt. I'm off to re-string both Jazz and P now!! Cheers, ervert

Any ideas where to order them online, in Europe hopefully?[/quote] I couldn't wait any longer. Went to juststrings.com and orderded a set of Jamersons for my P.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='67915' date='Sep 30 2007, 11:39 PM']hi ervert - welcome to basschat! Have you been living in Frankfurt for many years?[/quote] Thanks! Yes, too long ... 8 years already! Used to live few years in Amsterdam before. That was a laugh! Cheers, ervert

Here's my Fender Family! My 'Jamerson', '62 reissue Precision. Geddy Lee Jazz. ervert

Hi everyone! I'm a Finn living in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. I've been playing bass just over a year, so a total noob still, but quite passionate about it anyway. I've tried to play guitar for last 25 years, but never got further than playing simple rhythm guitar. My first bass was a Geddy Lee Jazz and soon after that my lovely fiancee bought me a '62 reissue MIA Precision, which I love to pieces. Now that I've been practicing bass, I seem to grab my guitars more often as well, so I'm more or less learning both at the moment. Good fun, but not enough time... Cheers, ervert

I've been using them for ten years now, and I'd never change back.[/quote] I'm desperately looking for La Bella 0760 Jamerson oldie flats for my '62 reissue P, but none of my local music shops have them.
