    I'm not so sure, I reckon in a blind test the scratches, clicks, and hiss of the 'superior' vinyl record would be a dead giveaway! The only advantage I can see to them is that they are big enough for decent artwork and sleeve notes you can read without a microscope.

    With you there Dave. I really miss the size of an LP when it comes to artwork.

  2. The case is so big that it's a real pain in the ass to put it anywhere other than laying it across the back seat of the car and I've got a Saab 95 estate. The epi case is really good though. Just need an even bigger car.😄

    Ill have a check on weight when i get home. If you google it, then youll probably get a fairly accurate figure.

    With regards to the finish, i dont think they did white. However, i dont know what its original colour was.

    I'm guessing that's the undercoat. I'm sure I read once that a lot of basses were actually oversprayed at the factory if they needed a certain finish for an order. I.e. black over sunburst.

  4. Back on again

    [b]TRADES: Vintage JAZZ, MM SABRE (pref Sunburst but black is cool) Interesting and old is floating my boat right now.[/b]

  5. The only difference mine seems to have apart from the logo is a 9 ply through neck instead of 11 ply. It has USA pups and an aftermarket Babicz bridge si it's as close as can be. YES IT'S NOT A GIBSON but for the price it's a no brainer imo. Still prefer the feel of my jazz though as I'm not a pick player so will probably sell soon...

  6. The through neck pro is an extremely good instrument with top notch build quality. It sounds great and looks great. I still prefer my jazz. For me, it sits more comfortably and has has a string spacing I prefer. The tbird is a narrow string spacing. Fantastic bass though if you can get it to feel comfortable as there is nothing comparable.
