    I like post-2012 passive American Standard Fenders - hard to find good ones though in my opinion.

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1470471244' post='3106184'] sounds like a cheap game show theme tune from the same year [/quote] You write that like its a bad thing!!!

    I was looking at commissioning a new build Fodera but that is dead right now.p due to the weak pound.
  4. thebassist
    It's a Fodera with a quite unique system I've not seen before so I don't want to risk damaging it.
  5. thebassist
    Great price as well. I wonder where this superb looking bass will end up? GBP has taken such a hit!

    Anybody have any recommendations where I can get a good bass setup in or around Bournemouth? I've had some local guitar shops do them for me and thought they were alright until I tried a few basses at the Gallery.

    Do you actually respond to PMs?
  8. thebassist
    Sold.

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1467892980' post='3087066'] I'm crazy too, who'd want a well finished 2013 jazz 5 with perfect frets, nice hardware, nice dark finger board, super thin urethane finish and lighter than almost every P bass I've ever played?

[/quote] Damn - I like that a lot!!!!

    I sold a 2014 American Deluxe 5 Jazz recently that was seriously brilliant. Very well put together. 1. I'm playing a 6 now. 2. I'm not a fan of block and binding. I know you can get builds from other manufacturers but I'd love a US made Fender Jazz with 24 frets, ebony fingerboard with dot inlays in 4, 5 or 6 string configurations

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1467815266' post='3086486'] ...a 2013 Fender us jazz five with an aguilar preamp I fitted... [/quote] Ooooooohhhhhh - how did the fitting go? Photos handy?
  12. thebassist
    Post-2012, I think they're relatively consistent. I played probably close to 20 American Standard Jazz Basses in 2013. I'd say maybe 5 were average, 10 were good and 5 were great.

    [quote name='Tonci' timestamp='1467467272' post='3083903'] Still on sale? [/quote] Hi - on hold pending payment.
  14. thebassist
    Thanks Guy - much appreciated. Hope you're enjoying the Jazz mate.

    My experience has been consistent with the OPs. I played with some awesome drummers but they all have something going on. One was brilliant when he was sober so rehearsals were always good because we all had to drive there but he would get trashed at gigs and then he would turn into a nightmare, picking fights with people, cracking onto the singers GF, etc. We had another drummer who was amazing musically but just so, so unreliable - he would never be on time to shows, etc. The guys I have played with who were not mental were never all that good.
  16. thebassist
    Super fast payment, great communication and all round top man. Hope to deal with again.
  17. thebassist
    Get a six.

  21. thebassist
    Had the same issue mate. Annoying isn't it!

    [quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1466278014' post='3074664'] Looks fantastic. How about a pic minus the pickguard?

    Cheers Ambient. Was on hold but buyer has unfortunately been unable to gather the funds together.
  24. thebassist
    Wow. A stunning example right there!

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1466093065' post='3073319'] Nice. Love the black and gold headstock. I bet it plays beautifully. That's a heck of a bass for the money. GLWTS. [/quote] Cheers - yes you can get a real Wooten sound out of it. If I was playing 4s I'd definitely keep it.
