Seahorses.

Like that one too. Is it a very subtle 3 colour sb or a 2 colour?

It's the old community vs market argument. There are people (and I am one of them) who like to think of places like this, where people who have a common interest gather, are proper communities. Within these communities there is perhaps an idealistic expectation that the members will act with the community interests at heart. It is always a disappointment when you see something that falls short of that. Even when there is no legal basis for complaint, the community ideal has been offended. But we live in a market driven world and that will invade all places where there are transactions taking place. The hope is that they don't happen often enough to damage community spirit, and if they do then the community should try to take steps to reduce the problem. I've not been a member here long, but I have seen some great community spirit displayed by some members, I have also seen some less charitable behaviour! Let's just hope the good continues to outweigh the bad.

Thanks everyone. I'm not looking to buy right now. Just looking for future reference!

Congratulations. I think this is the pose to pull. Either that or look as gormless and uncomfortable as possible. That seems to be the norm for competition winners!

OK, I know it's essentially an oxymoron given why Leo gave it the name he did, but my question stands. What options are there for a fretless Precision? And when I say Precision I mean Precision sized neck, no PJ pickups or any other aberrations. Just a standard Precision bass but without frets. I have found one so far. Most of the others have either a jazzy neck, or a jazzy pickup or something else decidedly non-precisiony. Help me please.

It might be worth him seeking specialist help. There may be things that he can do to alleviate the problem and allow him to continue playing. Probably not for your band, but for his own enjoyment in the long run it's got to be worth a shot.

Enjoyed that. Nice wee tune. Got anything live on youtube or the like? Edit to add: D'oh, found it and it wasn't difficult.

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1491142430' post='3270772'] Trouble is if in six months time OP decides that it's not for him, he'll be selling a five year old bass. I'd be interested to know where it was ordered from? [/quote] And at what price! American Standards are not the current range anyway, so anyone buying an American Standard now is essentially buying NOS anyway.

If it sounds as good as it looks then the words sh*t, happy and pig would come to mind!

I've no doubt the guy is incredibly talented, but it's not bass IMHO. If that is what it takes for bass to be relevant then I'll be happy with obscurity. And I'm 43, so no baby boomer. Obviously YMMV and all that.

Works fine with Ubuntu and Firefox too. Weird, as they usually have issues that no-one else does!

Looking forward to seeing the build. JD is legend! I presume this is the secret you were referring to on the other thread?

So a custom neck based on the profile of your '64 is what you need. I understand Shuker can do that for you. Not sure I'd want to drag a custom Shuker through the mud either though!

G&L really get it right IMHO. Lovely looking guitar. And yes, Fender and maple is just the ticket.

Nice looking bass for a bitsa. Where did the body and neck come from?

I know you would prefer rosewood but this just popped up on fb. https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090051102626/permalink/1461682280510062/?sale_post_id=1461682280510062
