Reggaebass

Hi all, on Tuesday I bought a late 71 early 72 precision I really liked the look of, nice dark rosewood fretboard, great sunburst and 41mm slim neck, only 1 owner from new, it’s been a real players bass so definitely not a case queen, it arrived with heavy flats which wasn’t for me and a high action , so I’ve spent today setting it up with old LTF’s from my other precision and it sounds and plays amazing, now I normally only like 100% original basses (and I’ve turned down lots because they wasn’t) but this has had new pots , apart from that it’s all original, so quick question, would the replaced pots bother you, do you think I’m being too fussy

Lovely bass and personally I wouldn’t go drilling out the markers, I’m sure someone here had a similar experience and used tiny luminous stickers for dark stages, not sure if that’s an option for you

Welcome jack 👍

Yeah it’s definitely too short, you got this one with version added

Really great album

I normally write out my practice routine depending on what I’m working on for each week or month , but always end up just playing the tunes I like 😁, this year I intend to stick with my practice

When I ordered mine I had to go through a shop but you could try and enquire here, this is the email they replied to me with about a few questions [email protected]

I never really measured the height ,I just setup with the lowest action possible but a shop once asked so I bought a gauge and 1.5 at the 12th is my maximum i like, a friend of mine who is a really great player has 3mm and I find his basses hard work to play

I’m the same, obviously a very talented guy but I won’t even click on one video now , my YouTube used to get flooded with his videos

You may have already looked but I’d recommend Mark at Talkingbass, he covers lots of theory and tips from beginner to advanced and he doesn’t waffle on like some others

Teenage Kicks is a good one, I remember when that came out

Definitely better with the pearl, nice jazz too Dave

Today’s learning

There’s so many of them too, lots I haven’t heard of but I just clicked on a few random ones for fun

Don’t think I’ve posted this but if you use tab this guy has so many, the ones I’ve played seem pretty spot on, all different genres

Welcome TC 👍

Bought a cable from John, really quick postage and nice guy to deal with, thanks

You’re not the only one, I don’t mind what wood it is but it has to be dark, darker the better really, I won’t buy a bass with a light coloured fingerboard , my Sandberg had an ebony board which is so nice

Did the precision have a bullet truss rod?

Not my normal listening but Sean Hurley is so good

Some Aswad today

Happy birthday mick 🎂👍
