Check out the rest of his stuff!

Jase,I hunted through the book"The Fender Bass:an illustrated history" and could find no reference to such a beast.I must admit,it looks pretty sharp.Think I'll go for it!

I have FrankenJazz bass,sunburst,tort pickguard,rosewood fingerboard,the works.I really like this bass but I feel that the neck is not as good as it could be.I've seen a neck on the Bay,but heres the problem.It's maple,with maple fingerboard and dot inlays.Has anyone ever seen a Jazz with this combination.I'm trying to imagine what it might look like.Any sunburst Jazz with a maple fingerboard usually has block inlays,but I've never seen one with dots.Thoughts anybody?Is there anybody out there who's good at Photoshop who could provide a sort of preview?Cheers guys.

It's vastly overpriced.I bought one S/H of the Bay a year ago and paid £80 for it. PS I'm selling it now.

Normally if the wire is attached to the centre tag of the tone control,it should connect to the #1 tag on the volume control ie with the red pup lead,but the green wire seems to be over long for that,so I'm not sure.

I'm actually listening to my Short Wave radio.On 14195khz USB there is an Italian voice endlessly repeating what sounds like"Macaroni,bastardoni ,barchista!"I kid you not.Every now and then theres a burst of music over the top of him.Takes me back to my old CB days!

Looks like its perfectly OK Escholl.Thinman has put my mind at rest re the one volume control scenario,and also the pot type issue as well.I checked and it is a linear pot,so I've ordered an audio taper pot.Problem solved!Cheers guys.

Thanx Escholl but further to my query,I have installed the pot and now find the volume sweep is confined to the last 1/4 turn of the Volume control (neck pickup control).Also in series mode,the bridge pup control does not operate at all.In parallel mode everything is normal except for the aforementioned volume sweep problem.I may have got the modes mixed up as I'm not sure which is the default.Clear as mud?I followed the diagram from the Seymour Duncan website.Is the pot value critical.Pointers anyone?Ta!

Nice Jazz Marcus.I like the bridge you have there.Seems like the saddles are huge,a bit like Sadowsky.Tell you what,if you ever decide to change that bridge,PM me and I'll take that one off your hands.Good luck with the bass,but change the pickguard for a tort.It'll be perfect then.

His feedback isn't all that bad,and as regards the bass in question,it is the same bass as previously listed by him.Seems he was messed about by the previous buyer,for reasons that are all too obvious now,refunded him and got the bass back.I e-mailed him re the ply wood issue.He responded twice,but did not mention my comments on the subject.Anyway the bass is now withdrawn from sale.

What is the main reason for a guitar lead to suddenly go microphonic?It's been fine for months and now,every move I make comes through lead and clear through my amp.Earthing problem possibly?

Welcome Pete.You'll enjoy your stay here.I only joined recently and there is a wealth of knowledge to be tapped on any aspect of Bass playing. I'm from your neck of the woods as well.Downpatrick,St Pats town!.

I want to install a series/parallel push pull pot (Geez what a mouthful!) on my Jazz bass.I've ordered the pot off Ebay but I've just noticed that the one I've ordered is 500K instead of 250.Will it make much of a difference or should I order the correct one now?
