It's not got an S1 sadly - does anyone else gave an 03 that doesn't ? There is no secret button but I haven't fished the plate off yet to look there
It's very fluffy sounding so I'm guessing it needs new strings
Try also www.playbassnow.com and google Scott Levine who has lots of free stuff
A little theory goes a long way
Asking for help is also brave so well done
Royal Mail is getting insanely expensive, and ebay are getting very greedy indeed.
I really do think buyers are genuinely put off by even no-profit delivery costs on listings

Well, that's no good. Only Fender have the secret of how a bass turns from pristine to looking like sh*t in a fortnight.

Yes very funny - I always wanted a tired looking 70s fender but better made with better components than the real thing (cue the bass doc making me one)

Hey Simon, here's another vid with some ideas. I'm pleased I got to rescue the Fender Jazz from you before you went off the rails. ;

I'm very glad you're enjoying it- I sold mr g a very nice cream/tort/rosewood mex jazz with copper shielding so its both smooth and non-noisy
I would like to, but as I said, real life and responsibilities are intruding on my having-fun time. No band, no gigs, little practice time, much frustration

If you've never done a relic job before the result is likely to be 'variable' at best.
Why not get someone to do it for you?

Thanks - I just wanted to start the ball rolling and break the surface on it.

Why not take some pride in it and look after it instead?

Because I wanted one that would age quickly rather than look like a reissue
