    Agreed The original post was for your favourites, not necessarily ‘best’.

    No longer on hold

    Haha! Looking forward to seeing what you think. The A string action height might need raising btw, depends what you have on, but I often find it needs a tweak. Enjoy!

    100% my fave on a Jazz (and anything else probably!) They definitely change in nature as they age so maybe see how it goes if you start off unsure. IMO they start great and just get better, getting warmer and smoother after a bit of aging.

    You might just be right

    Yeah, the butterscotch and mint ones don’t have the 40th logo on the headstock rear… although the old page on the MM website always showed them with the 40th logo.

    On hold for a BC’er

    Was a mate of mine, he’s well chuffed.

    Can’t argue with that 😊✌️

    Think I’ll be saying just that pal. Oh btw, may also trade for something purple… 😂

    ****Relisted 16th June due to a payment issue from an overseas buyer. £1750 - no trades please. Gutted to sell this, but the slab body exacerbates nerve issues I have. I’ve been holding onto it for ages regardless as the tone is stunning, but it now feels like the right time to look into selling. Unique StingRay, 10 pole pickup (not usual 8) and special Old Smoothie epoxy coated preamp work so well with the alder body, literally a smoother Ray tone yet still punchy. The video below tells the story of this 1976 prototype made for Sterling Ball and named by Leo Fender. It’s a 40th Anniversary Ltd Ed. I’ve always had flats on it, but it will be sold with rounds on. The back of the neck was glossy, I’ve rubbed off the top gloss which in my opinion now makes it much smoother and comfier to play. The case has some marks and a small crack, all pictured for full disclosure

    Assuming it’s passive, Ernie Ball use this on the USA shorty: Passive 500kohm push/push volume POT for gain boost, 100kohm tone POT - 0.1uf tone cap The passive Joe Dart has: 100k ohm Volume pot The Dart may have a lower value as there is no other pot in the chain.

    Nice one, that’s interesting, looks like they putt for many a reason, perhaps even healing. https://www.pet-services.org/why-do-cats-purr/

    True. Unless you’re Donald Trump 😊 edit - ahh.. guessing the H**y is the ‘luthier’?

    There really is only one way to know, I’ve made the call…

    Possibly, this journal article from 2017 discusses benefits of vibration therapy and notes that NASA is doing studies with it. https://mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/jfmk/jfmk-02-00017/article_deploy/jfmk-02-00017.pdf?version=1495184240

    Google scholar has research that suggests frequencies can be linked to healing. Problem with the picture in the OP is that no references are cited, so who knows if it’s from tripe, poor or restricted research, or has actually been demonstrated. Here’s a link to a handbook from a PhD… though you can get a PhD for UFO studies too so maybe look into it a bit more to be sure…. But yeah, I’m open minded while I’m ignorant about it. https://nenahsylver.com/files/Rife_Handbook_5th_Ed_Appendix_C_Healing_with_EM_&_Sound_Therapies,_2018.pdf

    No, not original imo. Although Fender were using up old coloured wires from their amps in the late 60s, this is too messy. The large green wire was also a common mod back in the day. For reference, here’s the coloured wire on a 100% original ‘69 I used to own

    ‘Old gloves’, exactly that 👍 Sounds like a good reason to keep the Jazz - it’s a lovely bass all round that one.
  20. Chiliwailer
    So it’s been a good few months then pal? Still got that Jazz Bass? Funny thing is, my Ray isn’t even my ‘best’ bass, I just a sentimental fool suppose 😂
  21. Chiliwailer
    Yes; the John East preamp with mid sweeps is excellent, and the Empress Bass Compressor can add some nice touches to shape tone. Got an HX Stomp too, but would prefer to stick to one amp setting, so far so good, all in good fun and curiosity.
  22. Chiliwailer
    Yeah, I’ve often thought that too, so am interested in that challenge over the next few months.
  23. Chiliwailer
    I hear that 👍 Yeah me too, well at least until I win big on the Lotto - as you do.
  24. Chiliwailer
    Can’t speak for @NJEbut I totally get that. I have 3 high quality basses, though often feel it’s overkill for my personal and financial situation, would be ideal to enjoy one bass just like I do one guitar, it’s like that’s anti-liberation to me. I get the biggest buzz playing my Ray, so often feel a bit spoilt when I play the others, even though it’s not hard to ‘justify’ them, do I really ‘need’ them? Doubt it. At least it’s safe money in case me and my wife need it, especially the way US prices are going up and up.
  25. Chiliwailer
    Lol 😂 Well I am still paying off one of the basses that is in the cupboard 🙄
