  1. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1480157862' post='3182055'] Here'a link to a recently sold one. The differences show. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/281608-198990-fender-jazz-bass-62-reissue-mij-sold/page__p__3023548__hl__mij%2062%20jazz__fromsearch__1#entry3023548 Your body has the earthing strip which suggests 62 RI. The ONLY way to confirm this is to take the neck off. The pocket should have something like JB62 LP. Assuming it is a 62 RI, the neck should also have an extra strap button on the back of the headstock (some call this a hootenany button I believe). [/quote] Yep on both points
  2. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1480165383' post='3182140'] My Japanese Squier has truss rod adjustment at the heel. I didn't think any Japanese reissues had it at the headstock. [/quote] Jap 70s reissues do,
  3. [quote name='FatFingersFlynn' timestamp='1480157177' post='3182049'] Ok thanks for all your help with this so far everyone. So basically this is not all genuine MIJ should I be entitled to a full refund from PMT as I purchased under the pretences that this was a genuine MIJ 1995? What proof can I show them to back up my claim guys? [/quote] I had one too, bought from the late mr oldgit- totally agree about the logo and butt end adjustment. Mine had non original tuners so can't comment on those
  4. You can buy these from various sources, including direct from China - for the money I'd say it was good value even for the parts alone - let us know how it works out
  5. [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' timestamp='1480356852' post='3183670'] Well, I never knew that! Learn something new everyday. [/quote] He was testing blocks of perspex and one recipe batch wouldn't set - he threw those in a pile and found a few minutes later that they had stuck together - the first intended use was on the battlefield gluing wounds together to keep them clean till a proper exam could be done - when I cut my face they stuck the edges together with glue

    Slap

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1480335966' post='3183406'] Ha ha. I have that Slap Bass Program on VHS! [/quote] That's so last Millenia - I have the totally up to date DVD I think in very small doses it's ok but I'm not rushing to learn it
  7. 70s position though, I'm intrigued As i said to ms. Raposa, colour me in as interested, depending on the likely price
  8. I can see the pics now. I find it quite intriguing- how much do we think it's worth ?
  9. What is the date stamp on the heel?
  10. Pictures pictures pictures Please
  11. [quote name='Raposa' timestamp='1480085843' post='3181579'] Many thanks fpr your comment, but I can not change the tiltle, need to make a new one! For you allso a wonderful weekend! And by the way: I am blond and Dutch so what does bump to the thread means???? [/quote] Now that made me laugh Bump just means pushing it back up to the top of the list as "recently updated"
  12. I actually love my own tone - it sounds great too me (and probably just me). I would pick johnny cashs bass player in Folsom prison blues
  13. [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' timestamp='1479936155' post='3180466'] Super glue IS Cyanoacrylate. [/quote] Originally created by accident by a chemist trying to make optically clearer canopies for fighter planes
  14. I have a b2 and use a tiny fraction of its capabilities- I'd go for cheapest if the b1 has what you want
  15. I've played this at an OM night and it went down well
  16. [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1479826884' post='3179591'] I recall seeing that model around years back. Although I don't know what its' name or model number is.... Although someone I knew had one, and I'm sure it was mid to late 80's Have you just bought it Kert? Or will it be a future project? i.e. are you gonna make this one sparkly too? [/quote] Yep me too - late 80s for sure
  17. If you can find one, a prosebass - I had a fan fret shortie and it was awesome
  18. It's a big ticket item, it may take time to shift
  19. [quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1479477062' post='3176851'] Would this work for 3 controls and a jack? Have you got a pic? Geek's pic link in his thread seems to go to an empty folder... [/quote] Yes sorry, they were linked to OneDrive and I broke my usual rules and tidied up things I never thought I'd need to see again Does it still have the film on ? If so, you should mention that as it's a nod to condition
  20. Yes three controls and a jack I made the same mistake as damon
  21. Or a PJ, Damon - feel free to reuse the pics from my sale thread
  22. Wasn't cars and girls intended as a rebuke to Bruce Springsteen ? I read it somewhere He is very underrated and Wendy smith was my dream woman at the time
  23. And it's cheaper so damage wil be less of a worry
  24. Never had trouble getting low action on vintage radius personally You just have to get the nut and the bridge right
