    This is from a ‘72 from Mr Baxter… Not sure the books always get it right 👍

    I’d be surprised if it was fake, there are some out there without the (r) E.g early 70s … maybe CBS were too tight to pay for the extra mark 😂

    Those were the days eh? The one in my avatar cost me £550 used in 1996…. The weight is 9.42lbs / 4.27kg Cheers

    Definitely do-able 👍 A tone control for the passive option may be helpful too. And if you really want to max out your options, depending on the pickups, you could add series/parallel switch, or coil split switch.

    Sounds great thanks, if only… 😊 I might be able to ship the bass, please PM if if you want to explore that option.

    In relation to the post above. I’d take £1800 to ‘rip off the band aid quickly’ 😖 These are very unique and special basses so I feel that’s a fair price this year.

    Cheers Bruce, I was always hoping never to sell, but just too damn painful to play a slab body these days, gutted.

    Woah… zombie thread revival 🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️ One of my first threads I think - was selling some 60s Fenders and wanted to get stuck into BC… joined 10 years ago this month, it’s been expensive 😂

    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
