[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1432515782' post='2782272'] Third gig of our three gig bank holiday weekend, this time at my local pub, so I was able to walk there and back (200 yards each way) with my rucksack and a couple of Jazz basses. No amp as I DI through the PA these days. Each of the three gigs has been better than the last, this one certainly topped them all. We played for a total of three hours, including several encores and 2 or 3 songs we had never played before. Finally, they organised a collection for the charity of my choice in celebration of my recent triumph over prostate cancer, £130 raised. I did have to play an impromptu bass solo as a condition of the pub adding £50 to the collection, but seemed to get away with it. [/quote] Sounds like a good weekend of gigs. Well done on raising the £130 and congrats on triumphing over the Prostate Cancer, there are a few of us veteran prostate problem fighters on here

Looking good, how was its first outing?

Nice collection Kempy

Wow that is some transformation, love it.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1432362115' post='2780775'] said bass is for sale. when the mods decide its ok. jeez. [/quote] Have you been on to anyone on the Mods Team? If not, then so long as it is currently your bass, that is, you paid out the dosh and therefore own it, then there is no problem with you advertising it. If you have already contacted one of us and are awaiting a decision, then just ignore me

So sad to hear of the passing of yet another great player

that looks very lovely Dan and will be even better with the black p/g

That's a looker Nick. Like the look of the fret board timber.

Hope you enjoy the anticipation and then the opening ceremony, as much as I did last week with my arrival. I'm sure it will be an excellent choice and look forward to seeing the pics. Wish you well mate

[quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1432103407' post='2778081'] VERY fine example of a 70s 4-bolt Jazz! Beautiful indeed. Is the neck straight? (My '74 4-bolt had quite a ski jump....) [/quote] Neck is all good, I'm pleased to say. [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1432131115' post='2778438'] That's such a lovely, classic-looking example Gary! Good buy How's the weight? Put my 75 on the scales the other day, and it came in at 5.6kg ... [/quote] The weight is 9lb 6oz so I should find it comfy to gig with. [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1432132209' post='2778450'] Nice looking bass, the strings could be Pyramid Golds [/quote] Thanks for that redstriper, whatever they are, so far I really like them, for the lovely smoothness under the finger tips.

[quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1432168229' post='2778885'] Very Nice! Congrats. [/quote] Thanks Gsgbass I see you like a Jazz or two yourself.

Glad it all ended well.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432054045' post='2777628'] A superb period Jazz indeed. I'm particularly drooling over the pickguard, Really lovely lush bit of proper tort, that is! [/quote] We love a bit of lush tort [quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1432059460' post='2777730'] That's a beauty Gary, GLWTS. [/quote] Yes I suspect it will go to make way for another P at some point.

This is the product that I use these days, not cheap but it is very good. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guitar-Scratch-Remover-Polish-Players/dp/B00A2B4FTO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432098135&sr=8-1&keywords=guitar+scratch+remover

I'm sure last time I did this, it was a case of paying the courier before they would complete the delivery to me. I would just contact the courier in the first instance Karl.

Here's my recent Jazz purchase [url="https://flic.kr/p/sNGaQi"][/url]

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1431963133' post='2776653'] Come on I'll post mine too [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2015 Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass, based on the'64 custom model but with the added binding of the '65 and a flatter neck, similar to the Geddy Lee.[/font][/color] For me this is "The Bass", it has everything I have always liked and wanted on a bass, looks great, plays really well and sounds even better!
