Welcome Matty

A recent one from Roberto Sanchez I’m liking

Really nice Ash, I bet that sounds quite powerful

Yeah definitely

He told me it’s a 69

I never really studied the tele bass much, it was re-introduced in 68 I think, it’s an Interesting one, the neck plate dates to 68 with the large F , looks like small ferrules on the body stringing too

Welcome Phil

True stubs, similar to the AVRI, I’ve got a 62 jazz and a 62 precision, they are outstanding instruments

I’m neither an accountant or lawyer but I am a big fender fan, I know there’s lots here that aren’t, if you can afford it then CS fenders are pretty much the best you can get if you can find the right one for you , I’d have another tomorrow if one caught my eye but I’d be a bit more selective now rather than just jumping in and buying them , there’s nothing wrong with wanting the best you can buy, whether it’s worth the price doesn’t matter to me if it’s something you want and it makes you happy every time you pick it up

I haven’t bought any lately ,but I have been tempted whenever I see a Sean Hurley CS precision listed

Very cool

My mini P bass has a small body, I just use it for noodling on the sofa when I was looking Flight do a mini jazz bass , not sure if you could get the size to maybe copy it to make one

First class work, congratulations on getting a beautiful bass

Definitely, this would take some time to work out 😁

Same here, just about anything I buy has to be all original, it’s just the way I prefer it too, some exceptions are i like early precisions and jazzes which aren’t always original but that’s because some things may have worn out, not upgrades

Taking a break from the Sean Hurley ones and working on a few Robbie Shakespeare Basslines I’ve never got around to playing

If it’s on here you should be able to see the sellers feedback, if it’s a new member or they don’t have feedback then I would only use PayPal and pay the fees ( not f&f as you don’t have any cover), I’ve bought lots from here and some things have been many thousands with no issues at all, only the people I know will I pay f&f or bank transfer

I can’t say I’ve ever noticed any difference in sound from a higher action to a lower action unless it’s low and someone is playing hard in which case it’s noisy where the strings are buzzing, I play with a super low action and a soft touch, I don’t like buzz

Spitfire do a very convincing tort pickguard but they aren’t cheap, nothing looks like the original ones imo but they are close

To answer the OP, for me the biggest impact I had was switching to valve amps, I’ve had many amps in the past, probably like most of us , markbass, Ashdown etc which were all good but the valve tone just really clicked with me, it doesn’t matter what bass I use they all sound great , so the amp makes a big difference I think

Any pictures of the fingerboard nilo

Very cool and that fretboard looks nice and dark
