    I did have a Bravewood Jaco Replica that came as part of a trade. That had no distinguishing marks to suggest it was a replica and that could, potentially have been sold as a genuine article to an unsuspecting punter. It appears that Fender isn't too worried about establishing the rights to its body shapes, but using the logo without permission is a bit dodgy. I run a business and would be annoyed if someone stole my logo, for example (not that they would). I've changed my view on this now, cheers Basschat.

    I have contradictory views on this subject. The basses are obviously fakes, however I have enquired at purchasing a copy of a 66 jazz I own that's too valuable for me to gig anymore. I've requested (but not received) prices for a builder to create a carbon copy of an instrument I own. In principle it's still a fake, but I can still justify it to myself.

    Wanted one for ages and I have to say it’s even better than I thought.

    I just got this from Mark. Great service, fantastic price, amazing bass.

    I’d say it was almost impossible as the grooves for the strings at the nut are set. You could attempt to do so, but it’s more hassle than it’s worth I reckon.

    Add 25% on top is a good rule of thumb. This looks like an exceptional quality bass!

    Focus on enjoying yourself. Once you get through the fear, you’ll have a great time. Adrenaline is your friend (booze isn’t!) Look at the crowd not the floor and make eye contact with your bandmates too. Remember that the music is part of a show, but stage presence, attitude and enjoyment are part of it too! If you’re worried about stage time, then grab your bass and head to a few jam sessions. We’ve all been stuck inside for so long, anyone in the audience wants a great time and you’re the lucky band that will provide it. Should be a brilliant night...

    If they’re VAT registered they’re also only receiving around £5850 for each £7000 instrument. These guys do it because they love it, not to get hugely rich.

    Still don’t get it.

    There were two steel beams! Previous owners hadn’t done it properly and the engineer and builders kept finding more and more problems. Think I slimmed the collection down to a single bass at that point.

    I had to sell it in the end to pay for a loft conversion!

    I paid £3,750 for a 63’ in 2015 too. All original.

    I’ve done exactly the same thing. I’ve even let the buyer choose the case they want, too.

    I’ve spent the best part of 10 minutes setting this up and it’s a beauty.

    I’ve recently bought two TRBs and they are exceptional instruments

    I was merely offering an explanation. I’d prefer to stick my precious parts on a vice than play in a wedding band so I can provide no insights into the world. Personally, if you don’t know how to use effects, don’t use them.

    A lot of songs have synth bass now. Guess it could be that?

    This worked for my cabinet... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Briwax-FILLER-STICKS-MEDIUM-SHADES/dp/B010ATLYTQ/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=wax+sticks+wood+repair&qid=1617623707&sr=8-5

    I did this on an oak cabinet and the repair is imperceptible. Truly great stuff!
  20. Burns-bass
    Phwoar. That’s lovely.
  21. Burns-bass
    Looks like my old Kay bass. Weighed about 5.5kg
  22. Burns-bass
    These are amazing. Seriously, they’re brilliant and I love mine.

    What’s even worse is that the guy sells guitars and gear. It got I check his previous listings he obviously knows what he’s doing, so this is a blatant attempt to defraud which is such a shame. Why bother disappointing someone for a few hundred quid...?
  24. Burns-bass
    I can see your predicament. Those RA basses aren’t unique, but pretty close of you’ve modified them. Personally, I have insurance but I use a £300 bass for stuff like open mics or jazz sessions. It’s just easier if I enjoy a drink or whatever.

    Monster players but god I hate that sort of late 70s/80s smooth jazz. All so horrendously over produced and oddly soulless.
