    Nearly finished my Affinity upgrade. Black white black pg courtesy of Bass Doc.....makes a massive difference to the look. Mighty Mite Maple board neck with 70s logo (I know, I know) with 70s Wilkinson Tuners. Looking quite Roger Waters now but still thinking about a period neck plate and bridge cover. The Squier pups will probably have to go at some point but where do you stop...... Definitely punch above their weight these Affinitys Maarten.

    Stunning bass Geert, That's the second 1976 Jazz thru this forum in as many weeks. I'll just have to content myself with a 2002 special run 'copy' for the time being. Bump.

    This is not helping HJ

    Myself and Tom (TG) above have been in contact with both Sean and Maurice (73Jazz) and we're all hoping that a speedy and sensible resolution can be found to this problem. None of us know the personal circumstances that have led to this situation and to help resolve the problem both myself and Tom will act without prejudice and in a friendly manner. The Mods will be informed of progress and any further action required will be agreed with them. Mart

    I've had this problem on and off for the last few years. What I've found works for me: 1. A shallow profile at the nut 2. P bass not J bass 3. Not neck heavy (so I don't have to support the neck) I guess none of this bodes well for the a thumb bass (I had one for a year, loved the sound but my wrist hated it).

    As it says above, straight as a die and plays very nicely. Swapped out only because this is a rosewood board and in my quest to make a Roger Waters 'copy' I've replaced it with a Mighty Mite maple boarded equivalent. Looking for £30 plus P&P (which should be about £4).

    Ditto, Also still can't send a message directly as the boxes are off the left hand side of the screen.....have to go in through 'compose new'.

    Just picked up a mighty mite Fender licensed maple with maple board from bluegrass guitar parts for just under a ton. Came with 70 s decal already attached and it was in the vintage tint finish. I believe this guy has stock or can source easily - came very well packed and with good comms. Email addy [email protected]

    This one and the 1976 'Marcus Miller a like' also up for sale are giving me good reason to stay away from this site at the minute. I can't afford these and a divorce....
  11. martthebass
    I've gained an appreciation for these since acquiring my 2002 FSR version.........I'd love this!
  12. martthebass
    Yup I've had 4 pgs from S&T......all black :-)

    I keep coming back to this, I wish it would hurry up and trade off

    Very very nice, alas my Jazz is red and my Status would have to prised from my cold, dead hands, but have a bump anyway.
  15. martthebass
    Oh Nick, don't do this to me.....my 2EQ Ray has no frets and my Jazz has but 4 strings pah.
  16. martthebass
    Dammit Nick, this is just torment....

    [quote name='pst62' timestamp='1325081901' post='1479623'] Here is my latest (and probably last) project. Squier body, Mighty Mite scratch plate & neck, Badass II, Wilkinson pups & tuners. Bog standard Squier pots & wiring (CTS pots and better wiring will follow later) [attachment=95911:Copy of Black Precision 1.jpg][attachment=95914:Copy of Black Precision 2.jpg] [/quote] Nice one P. I'm in the process of converting by black Squier P to a Roger Waters. If you decide to part out the BA2 let me know.

    I use Status Flats on my Ray Fretless4. Nice low tension and good tone, more zing than TIs but a lot cheaper.
  19. martthebass
    Another for headless here. Never goes out of tune, don't hit the headstock on the ceiling at those loooooow venues (like I did with someone's Stingray last week....whoops) and the balance is superb. Wish I could afford a 5 string Streamline........
  20. martthebass
    If it bothers you that much id get a new one. Theres a number of individuals will make to order.....put a request in the wanted section.

    Hey 'Show Me' guy, welcome to the forum.
  22. martthebass
    I can confirm its been the same in this part of the country. Had a really concerted effort to get into a nice easy going function type band and unfortunately had nothing but disappointment so far. The arrogance of some individuals I've had the joy of auditioning for, has on occasion, been 'interesting' to say the least. Still, here's to a better 2012......
  23. martthebass
    I've had my FSR 75RI for a few weeks now, doesn't sound like any Jazz I've owned before....very honky and powerful. Not LPB in this case but Candy Apple Red, very thin coat. Hope you find one, they are kinda special.
  24. martthebass
    Still love this Rich, unfortunately I dont have a GB to trade
  25. martthebass
    Glad to hear it G, nice when a plan (finally) comes together.
