I'm in a similar boat, first time was terrifying and I did crash and burn, making it harder to try again. But that next time I totally smashed it and the crowd went nuts. They had never heard a precision bass on "loud". Now my big fear is cocking it up and not being able to hide it, which is a different fear entirely and an easier one to deal with

You get graphite rods in the neck and rolled edges plus better pickups I'm not sure the extra is justified myself

Thank you

Agree about the crowds, it's def more of a 'couples night out' vibe at some of those gigs unless it's a really heavy act. [/quote] That's in my back yard, I've heard tell but never been there, it's not the finest neighbourhood

Liking that - is there a jazz bass version?

seem a bit overpriced to me, not far off used CIJ money but they look ok and if it was nearer £250 as Dood mentions, I might be tempted.

I have a cheap tort one going spare if you want to try it

Agree Why not add a comment that its beginners friendly?

I think it's a good idea to have somewhere for people to ask questions without feeling silly

Yes all the time I bought s hohner b2 and keep it in car

To be honest you're doing well to get to play as you do, I have two small children and a partner with health issues. I get no practice time and only make it to a monthly OM night. Yes it's hard to find time or motivation for the gym but in not convinced that CV fitness will aid you much in playing for longer unless you're exerting yourself too much doing it

Older jap or newer made in China?

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1458380106' post='3007052'] From hazy memory hasn't 'I'll be there for you' got a middle section that no-ones ever heard? [/quote] Yes it does - I have the cd somewhere

My bass doc sunburst precision 75 clone with maple and red tort. Brilliantly setup, instantly recognisable to the lay people and it sounds awesome loud - soon to be reliced and the only one I would never sell Accept no substitute

I've got the drop D version, it may be coming up for sale

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1458216665' post='3005650'] I occasionally find myself fancying a bass like this, until I remind myself it's not a Precision! I used to own and gig a Hohner Jack but playing it now (as it belongs to Mr Axe jnr) it sounds a bit thin. That's probably down to the J pickups - the OP's looks like it has humbuckers. [/quote] It does

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1458213162' post='3005591'] Yes - hit 'em for six! [/quote] Four - six (strings) would be evil

Or hit them with it, it's none of their business
