    [quote name='fluffo' timestamp='1494269622' post='3294587'] Looks like a superb bass but I've never known a JV to have the woven wires, I could be very wrong but the one I have doesn't, I look forward to seeing the under side of the pickups and may well be interested Mine doesn't have the body cut out for the truss access either, Idon't think they were all the same and mine was for Japan and not an export model. An excellent price regardless of what it is, either way quality! [/quote] Mine has woven wires too. This is an absolute bargain. Good luck with the sale.

    There is no more feedback needed here. Just wanted to thank you for visiting me today. It's been an absolute pleasure. I am glad you enjoyed the coffee. Have fun with the bass, I'm happy it went to you. All the best.

    [quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1495362760' post='3303184'] Just don't get this "owned by (insert famous name)" guff. It's a mass produced instrument. The magic was in JJ's fingers and brain, not a piece of wood with bits of metal stretched along its length. JJ would have made magic with a Satellite copy. The only good thing is that a famous player's family sometimes gets to make a bit out of these sales. Other than that, it's bullshit. [/quote] Theres this "ex Pino Palladino" precision or jazz hanging on eBay for like £15k... waiting for "the right buyer" I guess :-)

    I don't necessarily want that tone, I definitely can't play like that. I am just curious what has the biggest influence on that particular tone. It gets me. I am talking about bass solo (the bassline seems to be slapped) on this track: [url="https://pendofsky.bandcamp.com/track/psychobaton"]https://pendofsky.ba...ack/psychobaton[/url] The bass he's using is 70's Jolana Diamant (?) from Czechoslovakia I think.

    I think this is something very brave that you are trying to do. I love AC/DC and I'm actually quite curious what that would sound like in different keys (trying to be as optimistic as possible! :-) ) Good luck.

    My JV is not selling... And I have bought too many basses recently. So, this Precision is as good as my 1983 JV. The pickups seem a bit ''hotter'', there is A LOT of bottom end and the sound is very woody. Come and hear it for yourself if you can. You can try it out on a little Ampeg combo or 70's Fender Bassman 100 with matching cab (this is for limited time only). The bass is in great condition, has been used a lot but cared for. Usual marks here and there, nothing major. The frets might need polishing in the near(ish) future. Frets 1 to 7 have marks on them already (picutred), the rest is almost perfect. Action is really low and there is no buzz anywhere. Currently strung with flatwound D'Addario Chromes. I tried to picture all the imperfections, please message me if you need any more detail. Comes with a Fender strap, real celluloid 62PB pickguard and a spare white pickguard. Weight is just under 4kg/8.8lb Nut width - 40mm I can send it, or deliver within a reasonable distance from Southsea - PM for details.

    Looks very nice. The sort of bass I would buy matching furniture for :-) Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1495010630' post='3300334'] I never knew that bass playing required being "classified". The playing in the clip either floats your boat or it does not. It would be a boring old world if we all liked the exact same things. Personally, I thought the playing was skilful, but not my cup of tea. [/quote] That is exactly why I opened the thread - to hear opinions about this particular clip. Insanely fast and I totally understand some people my love the whole thing, some people my find something interesting, inspiring, whatever. I did not mean to take anything away from Mr. Pilichowski, I think he is a monster bass player. And please forgive me about the sarcasm in the title, it was late and obviously did not work as intended :-)

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1495008488' post='3300307'] Me too. But a bass guitar is just a musical instrument - how people choose to use it is up to them. Life's rich tapestry and all that... [/quote] Yes, that's the beauty in this whole thing called music.

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1494980941' post='3300208'] Why does bass playing have to have groove? Personally groove comes way down in my list of what makes something interesting. [/quote] This is really interesting. To me, being able to keep a solid groove in the pocket is the reason I started playing bass.

    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1495001992' post='3300252'] Technically good but no tune or feel from it. Just fast playing. That's ok to show off in music shop when trying a bass out (well to be honest it bores me a bit when i hear it in shops) I would rather hear a nice flowing bass line to a rapid fire as many notes in a minute bass line. Afraid i've never really got the Mark King thing to be honest. Prefer Allain Caron. I guess i'm old school too. Dave [/quote] Exactly. As stated above though - he is a very capable and soulful player if needed. Nothing but respect to him. I just wanted to see what you think about this particular video where he's a bit fast :-)

    I thought the sarcasm in the title was quite obvious. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1494977893' post='3300201'] Don't think many girls will be up dancing to this. Technically still bass playing but I sure won't be going to see him or buy any of the records. [/quote] It's very impressing technically, but doesn't make too much sense to me musically.

    So sexy

    Now traded, thank you
  23. PawelG
    It's not ''one month old'' anymore, is it? :-) Beautiful bass, I wish I had the money to buy it.
  24. PawelG
    Oh well...

    She'd probably let it go for £280. Do you guys think it's a US model?
