    Pics from today (bit dark and Mordor like!)

    Back up for sale as its just sitting there in bass rack doing nothing, while I am not in a band currently, and I pick up my Wilcock whenever I fancy a noodle. With D'Addario nickel rounds its £800 including post (within UK) or £775 collected from a public space in SW13 London. I can swap the strings for a spendy (cost me £55) and virtually new set of TI short scale flats for an extra £25. My post from November 7 with the Richtone advert has the most comprehensive set of pics (and it's not left the house since I acquired it from them)

    My bad, I did some googling and the 1966 to early 70s Mustangs had a 40mm nut width (not a 38mm J width). It was only the CIJ/MIJ reissues that had a J width neck.

    The original US Mustangs up until the early 70s and the CIJ/MIJ reissues from the 90s and early 2000s have slimmer necks with a J width nut. From the early/mid 70s the neck profile on US Mustangs became more P like and the JMJ and current US and Mex models emulate the chunkier neck profile.

    In case of interest, its easy to darken a rosewood (or similar) board to a more chocolatey colour with this stuff: https://www.montysguitars.com/products/montys-montypresso-relic-wax

    It was standard on early 60s Jazz basses. See attached pic

    I hear this position has been filled

    I think this used to be mine, changed hands twice between me and BC'er Jas aka Legion before he sold it in 2014. Wonderful bass which @Lozz196 had a play on once and was smitten, as I recall. GLWYS!

    I like the words too, I vote green

    Reviving fugly scratchplates, I offer this up from a current eBay ad

    Unutterably sad news

    If it helps, there are more pics on Walshy's website. Closer to surf green in my eyes as sea foam can often be more blue-tinged green https://www.vintagebassroom.co.uk/basses-1/p/fender-64-jazz-avri-surf-green-1

    Oh darn it. Sorry it has started to fall apart. The fact a hard slapper like Lee Rocker plays one made me think its very durable. I just checked website and last price was £6k but also it's "currently unavailable"

    Oh no! I know that Kolstein had been through the mill, with the neck etc, but I assumed it would (a) be fine and (b) that I would buy it off you one day, lol! Good luck tracking another down, sadly a new one is uber spendy by the time import duties and delivery from US are included

    And there was me thinking Frankie Howerd had passed away years ago

    Nope just stick em on. Need to press hard to make them adhere properly or they can shift a little. Once in place they are pretty stable (they only move if you apply a lot of pressure and slide them or if you deliberately pick them off with finger nail). The pack comes with multiple sizes of dots and longer lozenge shapes

    This is what I use https://glowtec.co.uk/fret-finders/

    I see Guy has put some big stickers or blobs of Tippex/similar to increase visibility of side dots on his famous Jazz bass Betsy. Not just me then that needs visual aids (as opposed to purely muscle memory) ... so does bass playing royalty!

    Sold to the man in the flares

    I carried my now-departed 1973 Ric 4000 in it, yes. However, do more modern Rics have same body dimensions as those of early 70s??
  24. Clarky
    You know the drill with these top quality semi-hard gig bags. Barely used (couple of gigs and a handful of practices when I had a Ric). I only have short scale basses now so this is redundant. If bought new from UK based retailers they are about £220-230. So how about £110 collected from the car park by Barnes Rail Station SW13 or £130 posted within the UK (delivery is not cheap as it doesn't fold!)?

    Decided this might come in handy at some point, when I eventually get back into being in a band, so am hanging on to it. Plus its fun to have one bass with rounds and the other (Wilcock) with flats around the house. Withdrawn
