    I don’t know why it hasn’t sold Richard These are great p basses and yours is in the best colour and in excellent condition You get 90% of what a 64 pre cbs pass is about for a tenth of the price Buying these MIM classic series or now the vintera series is a no brainer for someone wanting a fender p bass GLWS

    It would confuse me but then I’m easily confused He’s a great bass player as is his band

    Strange he uses a lined Fretless despite being an upright player too?

    USA it’s a bargain they are great basses much cleaner sounding than the L2500 due to the EMGs

    Thanks Chris and it’s interesting to note Arias policy Its a great bass and I wish you GLWS

    I’ve got a Tony Franklin, a late 80’s stingray and two 70’s fender necks all unlined Fretless and all with side dots on the note positions
  7. gareth
    It’s a de fret - you can tell because the side dot markers in the wrong position for a Fretless

    That’s my experience Noodling away on a jazz is great and it has more tones but at a gig its difficult to hear those tones cutting through and it just sounds weak compared to a p bass and on a that’s when you want the more ballsy p bass

    That’s my old bass it was up for ages before selling for the asking price

    After foolishly selling my first one I was lucky enough to buy another one today in time warp condition Along with the Roscoe Beck 5 and Mike Dirnt these must be some of the best signature basses Fender have ever made

    How did you pay the money to him?
  12. gareth
    I had one and the wooden neck is very bendy
  13. gareth
    In your opinion 😂😂😂😂
  14. gareth
    Yes I agree The only thing that changes as you get higher serial numbers is that they start using different parts - non spiral bridges, non reverse tuners, etc

    My jv jazz is SN38xxx and the neck date is slightly earlier than yours which all makes sense The jvs were all produced over a short period - about 100000 over a 2/3 year period compared with the American AVRIs where the Fullerton years 1982 to 1985 only some 15000 to 20000 instruments were produced GLWS

    Do you know the neck butt date? Might help your sale

    I think he’s a very good bass player with a distinctive sound If you listen to some of his bass lines ask yourself could I have created these?

    Well I like the noodling and I think the noodling is mighty fine noodling 😂😂😂

    Did you listen to the end?

  21. gareth

    Yep exactly But the threads title is “What have you got against slap bass?” and that’s my answer

    I gave up bass playing and devoted my time to raising a family, building a business and windsurfing as soon as I heard Mark King and Level 42 I returned to bass decades later when relative normality had returned to the bass playing world - and the guitar world - unfashionable I know but Dire Straits bought me back - solid finger picking bass and minimally pedalled clean fender strat through valve amps As a music listener during these non bass playing decades I bought and listened to three Level 42 albums in attempt to try and “get it” - to understand why others like slap so much Ask me today if I can remember, whistle or hum any of those tracks and the answer is no Slap to me has no soul - no emotion - it’s technically great but leaves me cold I felt the same way about Stanley Clarke and his school days album I can see that on Steely Dan’s Aja a little bit of slap in the right places did add to the tracks
