Rudeness is not unique to the young, but I do think I agree about the sense of entitlement as the step parent of a work shy late teen.

I had just the same feeling about that white mim jazz, mr G. Nothing wrong with it, just not right enough for me. Like with partners, you just know when you find it. Don't over-analyse is my advice, move it on if it's not sparkling for you, and let someone else enjoy

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1408400246' post='2529914'] Thanks, but I only photograph a little younger than my chronological age. Face to face I look all of 61, no big deal. However, it brings up another part of discussing "The Aging Local Rock Musician" I don't go out of my way to look old where I see a lot cats my age do. I don't try and dress like a 20 year old but I also don't try and think too much about what a 61 year old should wear or look like. Blue [/quote] Nice looking lady there, Mr Blue

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1408448672' post='2530196'] She has to dust them? !! Surely you jest [/quote] They are in a room that she cleans - I do the lions share of housework as well as working full time hence limited practice time

Don't think I'm naturally talented but after lots of dogged listening I can hear the beat and unfailingly hit the one each time, really struggled with that at school. I started with a cheapl Spanish and then e guitar for years then found bass. A precision bass, naturally

We have an understanding that "three is enough" as she has to dust them and as long as they are visibly different and do different things. I have a 12 string acoustic, a vintage stingray copy and a precision - I do buy things to try them but the rule is that something goes if I want to keep the new thing. We have a small house and I have limited free time and this seems reasonable to me

You bought a caravan without checking this out first ? Crazy

[quote name='kingofthestuntmen' timestamp='1408051142' post='2526724'] Relic'ed 70's, eh..? I have to assume that my '72 is naturally relic'ed as it was acquired in 1989 (IIRC) before there was such a thing as Relic'ing...

I couldn't do those scrapes like near the strap buttons and expect to get through to the wood like that

Probably Like this one so much that i already had it on my phone lock screen - found it on google images

one thing I do notice is that my bass has got very thick paint compared to that jazz above.

item arrived quicker than a fast thing attached to a faster thing that had nothing in its way.

[quote name='Biaeothanata-Bassist' timestamp='1407969741' post='2525984'] Go for the Squier vintage modified P bass or the Classic Vibe P bass. both are available in white and have better build quality/pickups/hardware than the standard series dude. I've played them both and they're both stunning basses to play. [/quote] This. I had a VMP and it was awesome

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1407968080' post='2525970'] This. All of it. [/quote] Jamerson used a dirty, stock p bass. Go figure

[quote name='kerley' timestamp='1407841433' post='2524479'] w*nkers drive Audi's does not mean all Audi drivers are w*ankers of course. There did seem to be a shift where a lot of the w*nkers moved from BMW to Audi once they heard that BMW's were driven by w*nkers. They didn't realise they in fact were the w*nkers due to their massive lack of self awareness - w*nkers [/quote] A free sachet of miracle "instant w***ah" is included with all new BMWs. Some owners choose not to sprinkle it over themselves like pixie dust

Yes a noticeable difference post 2002 in my experience

[quote name='Thor' timestamp='1404158789' post='2489920'] '69 Jazz This has had a refin at some point in it's life - was originally Sunburst finish as I could spy a little burst when I had the neck off. [/quote] Anyone got ideas on how to get the flaky paint look ? Particularly in picture 3 at the edge (round file maybe ?) and the flaky as opposed to featured buckle rash ?

Newer is probably better built for mex models in my humble opinion , but I've never played one that was actually bad. I've played lots. You do get some extras with us models like a hard case, graphite rods in neck and rolled board edges but I'm not sure they worth double the price Get a recent one (2002 on perhaps as quality definitely improved around then) and you're unlikely to regret it . I'm selling a blue one as it happens.

You're not alone - musical knowledge is the key to knowing what to do IMHO
