  1. Thinning the herd so this is up for sale. I bought this to replace a 78 jazz that I'd sold due to being a bit too heavy. It's so pretty that I'm scared to take it anywhere. I got a small ding in it (shown in pic) and wanted to cry. I don't want to keep something that I'm so precious about! Plays and sounds great. Nice combo of skinny fret wire but more modern flatter radius. No hardcase with this. Local pickup in Brighton preferred but I'll box it up for anyone who wants to arrange a courier. It will come with the white pickguard that it was sold with.
  2. Selling this as thinning down the herd. I got this as I wanted a passive jazz to string with flats to take to jazz jams but I've come to the realisation that I only like flats on a 4 string P so this duplicates my GB Spitfire. Been gigged a small handful of times but mainly bedroom use. Currently strung with pretty fresh DR Hi Beams. No hardcase with this. Local pickup in Brighton preferred but will box this up for anyone who wants to arrange a courier. It will come with the original white pickguard. Thanks for looking.
  3. If you're playing certain songs with a pick because you're hitting a limitation in your fingerstyle then putting the time in to overcome that limitation is probably the way to go in the long term as you'll be taking your overall level up a notch. Easier said than done though 🙂
  4. Mustangs are the bomb. I've got a Japanese reissue with thomastik flats and it almost sounds like an upright. Obvs with none of the portability issues. GLWTS
  5. Lovely looking instrument. Where have they hidden the truss rod adjuster?
  6. These are nice. I have one in charcoal frost metallic. Fender Japan quality is hard to beat.
  7. Alright buddy. Might you be interested in one of these as a trade? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124220539246?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fTsaZabSSuS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=TxrKQVW6TRy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  8. I bought a GR bass head off Brian. Everything good on this purchase.
  9. I wish I'd known that masses of repetition is needed to ingraine whatever it is you're trying to learn.
  10. I think it's pretty tough on the bass because the note on the beat needs to be nice and long so you have to be on it with your fretting hand fingerings and shifting. I try to play softly with the right hand to smooth out the sound. Definitely a WIP for me. Check out Dario Deidda on YouTube. He has bebop down.
  11. Sorry mate, I think modes are absolutely the WRONG path. Learn chord tones instead. Learn fingerings for 7 chords from major and minor harmony. Learn the inversions of all these chords all over the neck in all keys. You will progress way faster if you focus on chord tones.
  12. Bought this to get over selling my much loved 78 jazz. I bought it because of the looks but it's also a killing instrument as well.
  13. Really nice Japanese Squire P Neck. Serial Number O017076 - not sure how to accurately date this but the reading I've done it's prob mid 90s. Nice slab rosewood fingerboard. Truss rod perfect. I've had high-ish tension Fender flats and low tension TI flats and the neck can always be adjusted straight with low action. There's a bit of fret wear as per pics but it's pretty minimal. If you had a fret dress, you could get the action Hadrien Feraud low. The frets are a nice gauge - somewhere between super skinny vintage and medium jumbo. Width at nut is 40.5 mm (I think that's B width). Width at heel is 63 mm. Depth at 1st fret is 22mm which to me is quite shallow (my 78 P is way chunkier). Went into a non-Japanese Squire P body a charm. I've also had it in a non-Japanese Squire J body which was a much snugger fit (pic added to show how it sits in the pocket). Imperfections: minor dings on the back of the neck and around the headstock and slightly scratched decal. I'm selling this as I'm trying to thin things down and if I have this neck lying around I'll end up building another bass that I don't need. £160 including UK postage. Any questions or picture requests, ping me a message.
  14. Sold some strings to Jason. This was a model transaction with feedback gratefully received.
  15. You can't beat a Fender with a tort plate!
  16. It's a great instrument and I live just round the corner from Bernie's shop so I never have to wait to get anything sorted (not that it often needs it).
  17. I bought this about 4 years ago thinking it would turn me into Stuart Zender but it didn't quite work out that way! I've literally taken it to one rehearsal and messed around with it a few times at home. £80 Posted

  19. Great looking bass. Interesting it has a P decal on the jazz neck.
  20. I think the consensus is that the movable anchor leads to better muting as placement of the thumb on a string prevents it ringing but there's plenty of great players out there who have a pretty static anchor. It's all about adjusting your technique to address the specific problem you're encountering. If you sound good, you have nothing to worry about.
