    Not necessarily truly 'vintage' but what's everyone's thoughts on this tasty looking jazzer over at bass Bros:-

     

    https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1982-fender-jazz-bass/

     

    Down as an '82 but the Fender serial lookup thingy comes up as a '78.  Not seen a bounded dot neck before and as someone who is a recent jazz convert and looking for a nice older bass this is ticking a few boxes!


    that looks nice, I have a 78 in and it’s a beauty, they are heavy though.

    Dingwall D Roc Vintage Burst - *WITHDRAWN*

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by walshy

    Up for sale a lovely Dingwall D-Roc standard in Matte Vintage Burst.

     

    This is a fantastic bass, well balanced and very cool look that is both modern and vintage at the same time.

    Blow switch installed which gives you bridge pickup straight out. It’s a convenient switch to quickly go between bridge all out and your other favourite setting on the bass.

    Its a lovely bass in great condition and comes with Dingwall padded dog bag and tools/paperwork etc...

    Don't let the slanty frets put you off, you really don't think about it after about 2 mins.

     

    Dingwall blurb -

    The D-Roc Standard is a player-driven instrument that sits on the rockier side of the tone tracks, but it’s far from a one-trick pony. With a 4-position Quad-tone rotary pickup selector that offers four distinct voicings, the D-Roc Standard will help you deliver your own sound to your audience in its purest possible form.

     

    Collect Hexham or can ship at buyers cost - my man with a van courier is £85 anywhere in the UK.

    Not looking for trades but welcome to try me.

    might be worth talking to @walshy he's not in Blyth but isn't that far away (certainly easy enough to get a cab to Hexham from Blyth) I know he is mainly shipping Basses but i'm guessing he has a good courier service available and may be able to help or at least advise.

     

    It  might be worth giving some details of the cab that needs moving, size and weight might be a factor for some

    Yup I can do that easily enough and my courier can arrange delivery too. Fire me a DM if I can help or ring Tim direct 07873 401907 and tell him I gave you his number

    Was in Glasgow today and I took a run in to Merchant City Music. I have been looking online at the Nate Mendel Signature p bass as it seems to fit what I am currently looking for in terms of look and neck size! I currently use 3 of the Squier Classic Vibe range and the fit and finish is superb! Also the neck is a perfect fit for me and to top it all..they sound great! I had tried out a Nate Mendel before lockdown but went with the Player series instead. I seem to remember that the player series was around the £600 mark and I believe the NM was about £850. They have a NM in stock at £1399! To be honest I wasn't going to pay that money anyway but just wanted to lay my hands on one to see if it measured up and I would have been looking around for a second hand version!. It certainly looked the part..roadworn but not dragged behind a car type of thing. But when I picked it up I was shocked! The guitar sounded terrible and the fret ends stuck out all up and down the neck! They were jumbo type frets but that said they felt horrible!  If I was blindfolded I would have said I was holding an old Westfield!! The young salesman came up and asked what I thought and I pointed out the neck...ah he said! It's Mexican!! Bloody hell!! Seems a lot of the recent Mexican bass guitars are like that. I had a look at a Vintera series and in fact had a feel of a few of the necks on other makes and nothing came close to how bad the neck was on the NM. He said we might have to get the tech guy to have a look at it!  Anyone own a Nate Mendel bass and what like are the necks....It was like trying to play a ladder!!

    The Nate P basses are in my opinion the best P bass for the money. However, some of the ones I have had ( Ive owned 10 or so ) have had the same issues as well as the earlier ones ( Badass Bridge) having bowing neck issues, not all of them but certainly a few I have had. The later ones I think have extra rods in the neck to prevent this. Regarding the fret ends, the one I have in atm definitely needed a fret dress and the ends tidied as it wasn't great. It was second hand and 4 years old. I believe the Mexican stuff is very very good, although there are a number of  'Friday Afternoon' ones kicking about. A flea jazz I had was terrible, completely wired up wrong and needed considerable fettling before it was a good-un.
