Ernie Ball Music Man Retro ’70s StingRay Bass
Sarlscharisma replied to stonevibe's topic in General Discussion
I've not done any in-depth research on this but those Retro MMs make the Fender AV2 basses look positively bargain basement territory. I would imagine the only difference is probably quality of build compared to Fenders iffy QA processes. But essentially basses like the AV2 Jazz 66 vs Retro MM is same difference. -

They are special amps and loud enough for most needs. I partner mine with the Ampeg Venture 412.

I've had many very good non-Fender basses like Serek, Rics, Stringrays and my latest purchase being the AVII JB 66. I always feel at home with a USA fender, which just has that fit and feel that I can instantly bond with. Yes, there are some USA made lemons out there but when you get a decent one they just dial in that tone whatever amp you twin with. I have a had a Japan Jazz model and a Mexican P bass and found they never quite had that finish and sound of an American Fender. The new crop of AVIIs are so exciting and shows they are listening to customers. The AV 54 P, Telecaster Deluxes, Telecaster Customer, Thinlines...all the old classics made pretty much to original specs. Yes, prices are ridiculous but these price increases cut across all brands

So really an almost new bass to him back in 78/79 when London Calling was made and released. No one cared about vintage this and that back then.

I had the equivalent colour and year Jazz bass. It was one I regret selling. Fabulous basses between 2012-16. I prefer D'addario Chomes for a less vintage sound, but I don't see massive difference in sound between thru-body or bridge stringing. On memory the heavier gauge strings were not the most flexible so I'm pretty sure I went bridge.

Fender Jazz 60s American Original bought brand new earlier this year. Colour is sonic blue but colour shade can vary depending on angle of photo. Never left the house since purchase and has no dings. There are 2 areas of paint wear on front part of body as shown in the pics. It is a nitrocellulose finish so paint wear is expected on these basses. Other than this the bass is in mint condition. All in original and great condition with a really comfortable neck and punchy sounds from the Pure Vintage '64 pickups. No issues. Comes with the hardshell case and all case candy as shown in pics.

NBD - Fender American Original 60s Jazz - Sonic Blue
Sarlscharisma replied to MungoBass's topic in Bass Guitars
I have exactly that bass. Tort for me. Just be ready for the nitro finish wearing. Look at the bit of finish off mine. I have no idea how it happened, they're not even dings. Lovely bass! But bugbear is the side dots(or lack of) which are a nightmare at a gig. -
Only used at home so in mint condition. I purchased an additional tort pickguard which I think looks great against white. Will come with the original Decoboom pickguard. The waiting list is over a year for a Serek now so nice opportunity to get one of these boutique short scales. Has the push-pull coil tap on the tone pot Model: Midwestern Serial: MW-120 Weight: 8.15 lbs Body Material: Mahogany Body Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish Color: Vintage White Nut Width: 1 5/8" Nut Type: Bone Fingerboard: Chechen Fingerboard Radius: 12-14" Compound Frets: 20 Med/Wide Nickel Scale: 30" Neck Pickup: Novak BS-DS Bridge Pickup: Pickguard: Decoboom Streamliner White/Black/White Bridge: Hipshot 2-Point Supertone Body Thickness: 1 3/8" Overall Length: 40 5/8" Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite Tuning Keys: Lollipop Strings: Hi-Beams Case: Serek Sleeve No offers on this one as I have already given a massive discount (including nearly £400 in duties and shipping) and these have gone up in price since my order was made. Would consider trades for a Fender Precision American Vintage '63 (except sunburst) or a Ric 3000 subject to any negotiation on cash either way)

I have the 7 Pro and it replaced my SVT Pro 3. No issues in the few months I've had mine from new. It is very much the same DNA as the Pro 3 and sounds similar in my opinion. I also have the VB4 which is very different again, but all 3 share the fundamental Ampeg sound. I have had a Mesa Subway D800+, Aguilar Tone Hamm er and a GK MB800 Fusion, but prefer the 7 Pro on sound. Downside for me is that its footprint it big and heavy for a class d.
