    Am I missing something or is this an example of now you see Basschat Straplocks....now you don't?

    I've just been playing my own JO after some weeks of CS Jazz's and I still think these Laklands are better made basses with more attention to detail (other than artificial ageing). Have a bump!

    Has anyone watched this (from 4 minutes in). What a great ad for Wilcock basses!

    Looks like it's crying out for some LEDs

    As someone with (hopefully) a real 1977 Lefty precision, this is wrong at so many levels.....I don't think any precisions had through body strings in this period. The Fender logo is not even an amateur fake. The Serial Number would have either been on the neck plate or at the top of the headstock, but not on the back of the neck. there should be some evidence of a pull/thumb bar (even if just the screw holes), it should weigh a ton, and even if it were real (which it clearly is not), even bad examples didn't have a neck joint like that. All of that said, if it were real, it should be worth about £2k

    It kind of reminds me of a Cabaret Voltaire Demo

    is it this lot you are after? (sorry they're upside down...it'll add to the air of mystery)

    Did anyone pick up on this initiative? http://www.nedcom.nl/WAL/ And a gratuitous picture of my Wal for good measure

    Bass player's changed quite a lot since I last heard that track!

    I think its his signature bass

    The man was a genius. Actually the rhythm section were geniuses along with the baritone sax player. I came to ToP relatively late but was really happy to see them play live in 2017 in London (I think the last time Rocco would have played over here). How he didn't have arthritis in his fingers puzzles me, and I still can't master his muting technique!

    All the Fender stickers are the wrong way round in the background. It's mirrored

    This ad caused me to get my Leftie JO out and compare with my Fender CS Jazzes. I think the J/O is a real workhorse compared with the Fenders. It has what I think is a slab fret board, The neck is slimmer, but at the same time more stable. It sounds less vintage, but clear and full. Altogether these are brilliant basses and (if I were right handed) I would be all over this!

    truly scrumptious (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)

    This is now really scary. I have a leftie one of these as well (albeit sunburst)! They are absolutely fantastic basses. To my ear the pick ups sound a bit more modern than CS basses. My one is really robust, doesn't ever really go out of tune. GLWTS

    I have a leftie version of this and it has an amazing neck. Very slightly flatter than older Jazzes and in my opinion, the very best to play. GLWTS

    Does your postman play bass by any chance

    Flowerbed (take That)

    Meanwhile, for the cordon bleu Basschatters
