Yep

Hi, and nice basses

Hi

Umm....I love my Stingray and I also love my P Basses....

Lots of 'lawyer speak' here. Buit the fact of the matter is that anyone with a modicum of sense would have fugured this not an original early 70's jazz bass. I don't understand what the issue is, whoever bid and won the auction shoud go through with the purchaee. if not, and they should be prepared to receive get bad feedback. so be it. I have no sympathy as it is as clear as night and day that the bass has a nuber of non original parts.

All wrong as far as I can see

Get all three and then you need not worry!!!!

If it calls out to me I could justify 5K on a bass...but it needs to be 'the one'.

Hi there

But where are all the other spectors????

[/quote] Ordered her early last year and go her arounfd July. You are right regarding the front/back - not sure if Rob has done any with a matching back other than mine, which I asked for.

I prefer the sound of the two band pre-amp.

She is great. I saw her play with a few years back and really impressed. Strange thing was that for Ashes to Ashes she swapped instruments with the rhythm guitarist who was a fine player himself.

Not sure there could be a case in this instance. The seller states it's a Fender Jazz bass which is what is on the headstock so that is a reasonable statement to make. The seller also clearly says he knows nothing about guitars and that he does not know what type of Fender it is, also that he only paid three pounds for it. At no time has he said it is an early 70's all original Fender. Looking at the bass it cannot be all original purely based on the neck plate and the scratchplate being from different era's. So, if he is a scammer he is only playing off the greed of others looking to get a cut bargain basement early 70's Jazz Bass. He certainly hasn't over sold the bass for something that it is not (or unlikely not to be). It may very well be a nice bass with a number of replacement parts. I saw it as I'm on the lookout for a nice 60's/early 70's jazz but I didn't bid on it as it is obvious to me that this is not all original and likely to be a cheap mex bass with a few parts added. So, why should there be a refund in this specific case?

Couldn't find a Spector thread so........

Think I wil stick my one up on this thread:

Been thinking about this and of course you do. How could you think of not needing one....go ouyt a get one immediately!

The biggest con about upgrading a cheap bass, like the squire as you suggested, is that the resale value will not come close to the US P bass if ever you wanted t move it on.

Welcome

Bernard is great. Larry Graham then Bernard really shaped my style in my early days on bass
