Actually it was a Ffendar Jass Bass. Hilarious if you are from North West Wales. Less funny for everyone else.

Been there, done that! Rhy hwyr dwi yn meddwl.

You cannot rush the tone. Are planning a nice bit of burl?
-
You are not wrong. And with a bit of checking and a tiny bit of wear + a matching headstock it will be very lovely
-
That is a very yes indeed.

I lucked out on a 73 P with an A neck. With a massive brass nut for the full 70's experience!

10 things I’ve learned in my first 6 months learning DB
Owen replied to Richard Jinman's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I think I am naturally left handed but have always used my right as my dominant hand. I most certainly do not have the right hand dexterity I see many, many others operate with ease. -

Thumb position. We play the best of instruments. We have the best notes. And yet, people want to go and imitate 'cellos being played badly by playing really high up. I just do not get it. -
But they are a high tax country. I do not understand, we have been told that does not work. Surely our government would not lie to us?

Filling them would be a nothing job for any decent luthier. -
Get it fretted and retire from J4 GAS.

Love Jazz basses? Love old Jazz basses? Love reliced finishes? Love mirror smooth fretless boards? Love a bass thay plays beautifully but you can ding on the side of the chair and not sweat it? This ticks all the boxes. These are the finest of the finest repro basses (yes Fender Custom Shop, I am looking at you). I used to own this and if it had a B I still would. I have a 66J and this scratches all the same itches.

Yay for cafe church

I would have a different one of those in every room. There was a bass one on orange frost which was lush as well.
-
We shall never know. I am sure it would be swings and roundabouts though.

Pair of Semi Hollow 4 strings - Fretted and Fretless

I saw a bass somewhere on the internet which had massively oversized vol and tone controls (trying to drag this back on topic). Obv on a FSO they would be all wrong, but on something with a different aesthestic they looked superb. -
Well, that was exceptional. And Fima Ephron is an absolute rock.

Due to my incompetence, I have one spare ticket for this evening. Anyone fancy it? Early show, doors open at 6.30.

I owned an NS Fretted Omni Bass once. It was a proper curved DB neck with frets. It was very comfy and, for those of us who come from a DB background, strangely like coming home. I miss it and would buy another if I ran into one at the right time.

I am glad that I am not in your band. That looks like no fun at all.

As bargainous as they come.
