Yes, i guess some old Fenders were special, but i think that's mainly down to the fact they made some rubbish, and the good ones were simply assembled properly. I still believe a lot of prices on old Fenders is based on the fever spreading, to the point were some people are buying old Fenders because they're old. Bit of herd mentality going on somewhere

The fever around 60's and 70's JB 's is exactly that. Fever. Once a fever is kicked off, some people get caught up in it. Now that it's real, in the sense that you can buy to invest, it's probably worth it, but paying that to just play is bordering on fever madness. Old Fenders were nothing special. As said, there wasn't much competition at the time. As always, YMMV

Be careful who you use for shipping. Some parcel delivery services dont insure for musical instruments, but they'll happily take your money and refuse a payout if they lose it or damage it. Read their small print on what they will or wont ship / whats covered and what isnt

PS the flash has changed the colours slightly, but not much. Not all pix were taken with flash -
A Rally Basso 4, and Rally is now defunct IIRC. I reckon they undercharged, because these are very well built basses. No balsa wood or plywood in this bad boy. They were around £400+ when new, and they could have, and maybe should, have charged another £100-£150, but then i guess they were an unknown name, in a crowded market of cheap far east shyte, and perhaps this also helped in their decline. They had their own shape too. No bluddy J and P copies All orignal apart from a real Ebony thumb rest between the pups Solid mahogany body, with a rather hefty 15mm flame maple cap. Maple neck with walnut ( or rosewood ) fillet, rosewood fingerboard. 34" scale. Leccies are Vol, Blend, and 2 Tones. Passive, though could easily take a 4 knob active , if one were so inclined. Room to pop a batt in the cavity if routing the body for a batt is a no no 41.77mm nut width, 54.86 width at 12th fret, D shape profile neck , 19mm String spacing , 3.95 kg weight , 24 fret There are some small marks on the body, which can be seen in the pics, but they are small. If you want pristine , concours , etc, this isnt for you I can post for free if wanted, but would rather drive and meet. Long distance maybe halfway each Sound files - our rehearsal meanderings ( also in the recordings forum ) was done on this Basso, apart from the fretless demo track, through a Trace Elliot, 1 mic hanging from the celing for the whole band, https://soundcloud.com/user-perplexus

He hasnt answered a single request going back to December, despite being online 4 hours ago, so likelihood is that its gone, and he hasnt altered the title -

It's distressing to know someone was grafting away in the kitchen and no tea came forth. But good job on the board !

When i first saw Doug in the photos, i thought a homeless guy had wandered into shot. He's a great guitar builder , some great touches in his work

I thought they weren't interesting enough to leave 'em. Planned to just post them for a day, and 45 people must have had an earbashing , according to the stats, but since it's you asking, father, no probs sir The top one is not the band, just a fretless demo of my ESP recorded with a guitar and keyboard wielding pal. The rest is the band - and yup, we're really called What The Funk. This was the chosen name of our singer, Jane. Tut tut Jane

Confusing post ..

Goddam freeloaders !

Having said what i said, there are exceptions, and of course, personal preferences, so it's not gospel by any means

Perhaps some of the people posting Wanted ads here could follow that rule. A simple " no thanks " would be good manners instead of reading the message of an offer on their Wanted post and then ignoring the whole thing. That's happened countless times. Sheer ignorance

How does he reach the fat strings

Definately input gain first, find the clip point and then back off till no clip. Then adjust main volume for what is required. Adjusting the EQ could ( depending on what you adjust ), push the input gain to trigger the clip again, so in that case, just keep backing off the input gain to pre-clip, ( with the EQ set the way you like ) and adjust main volume again
