I’ve got one of these and I reckon I can keep adding levels and she might not notice. But soon I’ll need to take care of the ceiling.

Just picked up a set, if you buy via Reverb they are cheaper!

Can tell me where I can buy a scratchplate the fits the 40th anniversary Jazz! Thanks !🙏

I bought my son a Roland TD1-K kit. Very good I think, got it pretty cheap on gumtree. Quite compact could maybe do with an actual physical bass drum as oppose to just a pedal but it’s good.

Pretty sure this Custom Elwood 5a active 5 string has been owned by a one or two basschatters! Very lightweight and sounds great! -Alder body -Maple neck and fretboard (nice grain on the fretboard!), matte finish, carbon rods for reinforcement, nut width 45mm, radius 14”, 34” scale. -Charcoal Frost Metallic finish (lovely dark grey with a dark blue hue to it) -Aguilar AG5J-HC hum cancelling pickups -Delano Sonar 2 active preamp, with a push-pull volume to switch to full passive, with the treble knob acting as a tone.

These look great but no idea what shipping costs would be!

No gold hardware, was a while ago might have a pic somewhere. Lovely bass tho.

I had a white Japanese fretless jazz actually, I wish I hadn't sold it!

I was committed to thinning the herd, sold a Rick and then bought 3 basses to replace it... this being the third 😬!

So the Jazz has arrived and snuck in the house and hidden away. Had to get rid of a buzz on the G string but otherwise seems really well put together! I've only had a few Fenders over the years so no expert so not going to make any wild claims but if someone had said it was a Fender for twice the price I wouldn't have thought anything of it. I'm a bit of a sucker for white and gold so I love the look but I did see a pic with a white pearloid scrachplate which looked lovely. Have an empty house later this evening so looking forward to having a wee blast!

Sad news about Simon, looks like very good content…. Thanks

Just bought a Leathergraft from eBay it was cheap and a uk company, if its good I'll probably buy a few more.

What I read but I don't if it's true that the original was manufactured in China and they were running dual production lines! More likely some just got the schematics but it's a great wee thing! (GUILTY!)

I’ve been looking at that book I need to get it. I was shown a pattern by a drummer pal where the notes land on the 2 offbeat and 4, which worked and began to make sense

Looks great that bass of yours!

Hey @Bassassin I was hoping you would reply! I reckon every time someone buys a strange Japanese bass you are on speed dial! That Sleekline looks great. I'm glad these are rare as I don't need to have another thing to collect! Thanks for the info!

Don’t want to bore people to death with this but I’m genuinely knocked out at what an excellent wee bass this is. I’m not much for tinkering with truss rods etc but got the action down really low and it plays and sounds really great. Cleaned up the saddles and got some speed knobs which look like the originals.

That’s a beauty!

The F2 just looks fantastic totally looks like quality instrument.

Bizarrely my wife, who has less than zero interest in my bass playing walked by and said that sounds good! I was astounded but a bit hacked off as she never says that when I’m playing any of my instruments that cost thousands of pounds! Maybe hoping I’ll sell them 😜

Yes the guy was selling it with a couple of guitars originally and I sent him an offer and he didn’t reply. I thought it was maybe too low but he came back today and said he hadn’t seen the message when I sent it but just read it and would take the offer if I bought the bass today, so I did. I was worried it would be knackered and it was a bit manky but cleaned up well and I have to say sounds great!

Picked up one of these odd Japanese basses today. Just couldn’t resist it😣. Not totally a barn find as it wasn’t for total peanuts but it was cheap. Cleaned it up restrung and fixed the action. Some marks on the body as you would expect from a 40 year old bass, neck is super clean and bizarrely it works, not even a crackle! Sounds great, lightweight and strangely cool to my eyes. Any info much appreciated. Needs new knobs and it looks like they should be black speed knobs. Bridge a wee bit discoloured and oxidised I think the saddles should be gold so maybe see about replacing but it works. Quite pleased!

completed - All items shipped on this order Looks like the Jazz is back in stock and mine has shipped!

Hi Gaz I'll speak to Graeme and get him to take some to get more details. Thanks!
