Another possibilty is to use an amplified cab like the Roland D-Bass 115-x (bi amplifier of 250w for the 15' and 80w for tweeter) It will make a big difference And of course I have one for sale here...

[quote name='Sumatra' timestamp='1381674329' post='2242082'] Guys, for anyone's interested: I went to the shop again. I didn't manage to remove neck/pus/pots to check dates, but the shop attendant was confirming that the bass was not actually manufactured at fullerton. I didn't spend time or words discussing about the fact that this was what they actually wrote on their website and it was somewhat odd that they claimed for that knowing this was not true.. I only told them that my main problem was with price, that the bass sounded good but I didn't have all that money, especially since we were concluding the bass was not actually a fullerton but a standard AVRI. [/quote] I hate those sellers, putting wrong infos deliberatly... Especially when the price is more than the double of the real market value, and you know they exactly know what they are doing, horrible. About the musical quality of the bass, I need a few months of playing, testing situations, set of strings and setup to really know if a bass is the one. Because I' ve tried bass that can give me a great feel in a shop, but last week, in the same shop, they didn' t. To much factors. weather (temperature, humidity), setup of the bass, me and my sentitivity of the day (If I want to play or not really...) And It' s also true about bass I' m not immediatly impressed by at first time and then, with time I appreciate. But it' s of course possible to be able to evaluate an instrument with experience; I just want to say accuracy need time. But well, it's not a fullerton, it's a corona so : about 1000£ if it' s a good one. And there is a lot of good corona RI62 on the used market...

I think it might.

I agree. To me it's not a fullerton, serial number is too high. Also the sunburst is [u]not[/u] the typical sunburst for a fullerton. And the separate "offset contour body" detached logo is really strange... for a fullerton. I'm quite surprised by the answer you get on fenderforum... Well, as I say "we never know everything" , but actually this is my opinion. Perhaps some other expert will speak

[quote name='Sumatra' timestamp='1380961718' post='2232768'] I don't have one but I found it. The problem is that I'm not able to test it and to my experience, especially with Fender, this is the essence. I don't trust any origin, model name, or dating when it comes to Fender: in the shop were I found the Fullerton I also tested a Custom Shop, an original '68 and an original (still IMMACULATE) '69 and the Fullerton was the best to my ears and hands. I found really EXCELLENT mexican standard Js that to me were easily worth a Custom Shop in terms of playability and sound... Why you say it's not a Fullerton? thanks again, Luca [/quote] To my actual knowledge, the logo and sunburst type are not fullerton. I don' t say I know everything ok ? But I suggest you to post on the fenderforum. It' s important because even a real 85 corona fender cannot be sell as a fullerton, and the value is not the same. Concerning your taste, if you find a mexican jazz better than a CS buy it ! I think CS reissue are the best fender ever. But they are not allways the closest to the real deal. A fullerton or a corona RI fender are sometimes closer to the real 60's fender in terms of feel and sound, more direct and simple. The CS is a sort of "boutique" fender with a detailed/complexe sound I have never find in an old fender.
