Ok, I have a question while we're on this topic;

I sometimes stick a sponge under the strings by the bridge on my Jazz as a mute - i've since bought an ashtray bridge cover which i've not yet fitted, but is there any easy way with the cover on to mute/unmute? I thought to glue the sponge to the inside of the cover, but then i don't want to screw on / un-screw the cover the whole time.

At the moment this is my one-size-fits-all bass otherwise i'd just stick flats on it now.

Any suggestions very welcomed.

(The other answer is to buy another bass in permanent retro-set up, but no room / funds yet....)

The Tremulator is very cool indeed - i also have the Compulator which is a great pedal too

Looks like you've got the sequence wrapped now. Enjoyed and very impressed

I had one on my Tobias - worked great, thinking of getting one for my Jazz.

I can recommend the Demeter Tremulator, but am not sure if it's true bypass or not.

The answer is - possibly. A '75 may have a readable inspection date in the neck pocket. Otherwise you'd have to rely on the date the neck was made. See [url="http://www.provide.net/~cfh/fender.html"]here[/url] for details of the codes used.

Is it possible to date a bass to its build month? Somewhere on my GAS list is a Precision, and i thought it would be nice to find one that was the same age as me (august 75) - see which one of us ages better!

I'd love to see some accurate transcriptions of some of Stevie's basslines - I used to poorly approximate his line on Boogie On Reggae Woman, but i'd really like to know what he (or others) actually played.

If i wasn't so tired i'd think of my Top 5 Stevie Lines, but I know off hand that Golden Lady's on there.

Len (lenny/basslaw) B - presently not as busy on bass as I used to be, but getting itchy fingers again.
Currently loving my Jazz more than my Streamer. Is dangerously close to GAS.

Nice to be here.
