    Thanks Hooky-lowdown that’s what I had assumed until I looked at the Fender site which says they started using it 2008. Curious misinformation from them.

    Natural body, maple neck - great.

    I picked up a Squier Precision a while ago, but I am confused about the dating. According to the Fender website on serial numbers, Squier started building at the Cort factory in 2008 and the serial numbers use the first 2 digits for the year of manufacture. Mine has 00 as the first 2. Anyone help on this?

    Ooh! Used to have one similar but rosewood board, why did I ever sell it!

    For a tad over £200 definitely keep. What would improve that great retro look is a set of good old fashioned clover leaf or elephant ear tuners ( or whatever else you want to call them).

    Safran semi as a5 Bass Direct?
  7. Grahambythesea
    Thanks for the info. Both basses look great, enjoy.

    Good for you, a tip, try not to look, use your ears!👂 You’ll soon get the hang of it.

    Shipping costs from Japan have always struck me as outrageous, how was yours? Is it right there there is presently no Import Duty payable as a free trade deal has been done with EU (which in due course UK won’t benefit from after Brexit.

    Didn’t know they made one in Japan. The Korean ones are getting expensive 2nd hand.

    I had a Washburn AB5 which had a neck like a tree, it coped with low B but was a killer on the hand. Avoid!
  12. Grahambythesea
    Thanks for this. Is it really a semi?
  13. Grahambythesea
    I have one in Candy Apple Red. Indo made, Jazz neck, plays ok, quality is okay. Had to replace both pots and I think the Jazz pu is thin sounding.
  14. Grahambythesea
    Is it just me but I can’t get the pics to download.. Any other way of putting these up?

    Are they bold or bonkers? Anyone who complains that makers only churn out Fender clones can stop now. But is the world ready for headless again, Status had to bring in heads because they didn’t sell enough headless and whoever sees a Steinberg? God on them for trying but I Seriously don’t think they’ll catch on generally.

    Used to have an unlined Washburn AB5; no problem eith unlined, but the neck on it was a tree! It was a 5 string but with the width sufficient to have converted to a 7. Now have a lovely lined Spectorcore which comes with the Fishman piezo bridge. Nice to play, but surprisingly lacking in Mwah.

    Definitely Preloved. Sold and bought on it - no fees! 😁👍🏿

    May be Chinese Fakes should be treated like the Americans are treating Chinese Steel and whack a 25% import duty on them on top of VAT !

    The description on Thomman says semi hollow. Intrigued to know if that is the case, will it be head heavy, will it be reasonably light? It can’t really be called a Rickenfaker, it’s just a nod towards the Ric style.
  20. Grahambythesea
    I like the dirtybirds! Pity no 5. ☹️
  21. Grahambythesea
    If you fancy a Squier Precision Special, Jazz neck, P & J pickups, made in Indonesia and CAR for around a ton, PM me.
  22. Grahambythesea
    I wish someone would give me one, it wouldn’t be “unwanted”.
  23. Grahambythesea
    Black scratch plate NOT leather (hideous) and the ashtrays, although I think the early 50s ones all had white.
  24. Grahambythesea
    I think it’s horrible, especially with the ramps. My guess that it will be really difficult to sell on when your fed up with it! I bet the ramps are adding a lot weight to an already heavy bass.

    Mr. Franklin’s photo doesn’t quite match up to your description of him.
