  1. I managed to find a nice 5-er: It is a great playing bass with low action. Initially I was looking for a 4, but I like the narrower spacing on 5ers. There is an obp3 fitted, which I'll replace for a simpler obp1. The bass sounds great anyway though
  2. Thanks, your birch suggestion helped me further . I think this could be Masur Birch though, like this Fodera guitar which is described having a Masur Birch top:
  3. I can confirm that this is a very nice precision. If you are initially looking into late 70s Fenders, you might want to look at this one. It's just a few years younger, but it's still similar to a 70s, only nicer build quality than all 70s fenders I have owned so far. The "good stuff" from the early 80s are my favorite fenders. The seller is a nice and reliable guy, and has graduated at packing school.

  5. Fender American Vintage '62 Jazz Bass Nice reissue Fender Jazz, made in the USA (2004). This jazz has a vvt configuration, which is apparently not uncommon on exported avri 62 basses. More pics: As you can see from the pictures the bass has been used well, so it has acquired a "roadworn" look. Technically the bass is perfect; all hardware and electronics work like they should, neck is straight, frets are fine. This bass plays smoothly with its thin neck and narrow vintage frets. The sound is best to be described as a good jazz bass. The original brown tolex case is included, as well as the original mute kit and some paperwork. Fixed price €1.150 The bass is located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to arrange insured shipping at buyers risk and costs.
  6. Trades are welcome too. Any nice (2eq) stingray out there? Otherwise, surprise me!
  7. It is a common thing indeed. I´ve wondered about it too when I encountered such a walnut plug on a Kasuga Precision copy for the first time
  8. Anyone knows one for sale/trade? Preferably a flake finish please 😊
  9. Old Rickenbacker 4001 pickguard for pre-1974 models with the pickup closer to the neck. I purchased this one for my 1978, but didn't realise that the pickup had been moved half an inch from the neck in the 70s. The pickguard is in reasonable shape. It has a crack on the top, but it's complete. Asking €150 Meanwhile I've bought a modern replacement, but I might consider a swap for an original later 70s pickguard. I am also looking for an older Rickenbacker case.
  10. Just found my kitchen scales; it weighs in at a moderate 4,4 kilo. It has a little neckdive (on a mono Betty strap, a rougher one might eliminate this), but I feel it balances well.
  11. There is a little relief. Pretty much like a standard Fender. There are sadowsky 45-105 stainless steel strings fitted now.

  13. The asking prices for musicmasters are mostly way too high indeed. They are just asking prices though, those overpriced basses aren't going anywhere usually. Sometimes it seems that if 1 person puts up a type of bass for ridiculous cash, a lot of people think it's actual worth it and copy the price. I'd still fancy one though, if one would pop up at a normal price.
