Also - Look at the sunburst pattern on the 60's vs 70's, 60's goes much further out to the edge of the body. Although - looking at yours, it does appear to have the Bridge pickup in the correct location (closer to the bridge). Could be that your bass has a correctly routed body, but has had the 60's burst pattern painted and 60's pickguard/thumbrest applied. What about the bridge on yours? Does it have threaded barrels(60's) or single slot ones(70's)? Either way I'd say you're looking at some sort of factory error.

Hmmm - it certainly looks like that's a AVRI 64 body: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/jazz-bass/fender-american-vintage-64-jazz-bass-in-3-color-sunburst https://www.reddogmusic.co.uk/catalog/product/732439/fender-american-vintage-64-jazz-bass-sunburst?gclid=Cj0KCQjwy9LVBRDOARIsAGqoVnsp-QJI0rw9FJJJsXrFXmsyYOpnhMWZ5R2Hx8TLtPj2zMHa_V8b33saAjBVEALw_wcB https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/13010717190032--fender-american-vintage-64-jazz-bass-rw-3tsb Could be a factory error, 64 body had a 74 neck attached? Not unheard of for stuff like that to happen, I had a USA Geddy Lee Jazz bass which had the wrong neck on it (black blocks/binding instead of white pearl). Looking at GG's web page, they have more of the '74 in stock (5 to be exact, at time of writing): https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/13010717450132--fender-american-vintage-74-jazz-bass-rw-3tsb So, if you're unsure, I'd be onto them asking for an exchange (confirming that the one they were sending you as a replacement was correct to spec.) Hope this helps!

Delighted to start this one off. Matt bought a Bass from me. Thoroughly nice bloke, very responsive to messages and the deal was easy to arrange despite poor weather and the like. No messing about, turned up on time and we were both very happy with how things went. Would not hesitate to deal with Matt again, and neither should anyone else. Cheers Matt!

As far as I can see, the main issue with what you want to do is shown below - Looking at the block diagram - The Send/Returns on the Evo 1 are before the preamp in the block diagram. So anything you do send to another amp won't be affected by the evo 1's EQ / DSP etc.

Nice score, I had my beady eye on that, if it was the one that was in Northern Ireland...minty!

Thank goodness I got a Helix a few months ago. Otherwise the GAS hulk would be taking over me NOW!!!!!!!!

Thumb rest added! Damn, cheers Marc, never mind it wasn’t expensive..

Also had a thumbrest delivered today, will add pics when I've put it on later..the 2 holes are screaming for it!

Haha too late now brother! It's mine all mine! Just used a damp microfibre cloth on it..

It is indeed! Lovely thing!

Picked up a gold anodised guard from @Marc S the other day. I think it looks awesome! Think this settles it once and for all... second pic shows how the metallic black works better against the metal guard!

Yep, totally with you on this one @mcnach. Awesome looker, and I'm well into PJ's at the moment.

@Al Krow Nothing in particular really, I've toyed with the idea of having one for a long time. I discussed with @Marc S last night about how it seems to make you play very differently, almost like you're appreciating every note rather than just trying to get to the next one. There's little chance of me ever becoming a fretless virtuoso of any description, but I think it's good to have it, just for when that different voice is required. Either that or I'll just end up playing Paul Young over and over.

Not to worry Marc, I drink enough tea in work, Ha! Yep, I went with a sharpie on the even number dots, and it makes a lot more sense now! It did indeed sound lovely through your TC 2x8 combo, nice amp that!

Thanks for asking AK, as it happens I picked it up last night! It's a ESP/LTD PJ, found locally on Gumtree for the princely sum of £150, with one of those hard foam soft/hard cases. Well happy with it, stopped by to see @Marc S on my way home and he agreed I got a bit of a bargain too. Spent a little time with it last night, changed the Rounds that were on it for some TI flats, gave it a quick setup, which I plan to re-visit tomorrow evening and check everything has stayed where I'd like it. It's an Unlined, but somewhat strangely, it has side dots for every fret position. Got a sharpie on the 2,4,6,8 etc dots and now it makes a lot more sense!

I'd have to say a 5-String USA Musicman SUB, if you can find one. You'll even have a couple of hundred quid left over. One of these: When I played 5-stringers, I had one and it had probably the best Low B I've ever heard.

Whenever I visit 'That London' I always go to the Gallery during my stays. It's a great shop and the guys have always been super friendly and not pushy every time I've been there. Usually ends up with me parting with a sizeable amount of cash! Keep up the good work gents!
