What could have happened with the finish on this 🤔 https://reverb.com/uk/item/52931875-super-vintage-1977-fender-jazz-bass-sunburst-100-original

One of my favourite bands Raging Fyah, even better with Alborosie

Welcome Sethe 👍

My local radio station is just playing this

I had this on one of my jazzes a while back on the E string, I changed the string twice but it was still the same ,then I tried lowering the pickup a few screw turns and it was okay

I enquired about this one when it was first listed, should be interesting to see what it goes for https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304421939691?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8k7fKvkMSE2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=1wDkd4CjTIi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I’ve got one on a precision, great aren’t they, I found it’s worth taking the time to set it just how much you want it to mute, on the higher setting it put the bass out of tune, great for switching on and off quickly 👍

Didn’t these have the greasebucket tone circuit

Welcome Willie 👍

A new one from Don chandler, one of thee most classic heavy Basslines

That’s really nice, how do they sound

Welcome Roberto 👍

I’m gonna hang on to them for the moment but if I do I’ll give you a shout 👍

Up until recently I used markbass 15s with my RM 500 , they are bassy which suited me, but not a muddy sounding cab ,I still Have them but I use a bb2 now

Re the through body stringing, labella only recommended LTFs and 760FS-TB , I wouldn’t try the golds myself, they might be ok but you wouldn’t want to ruin them 🙂

Happy birthday for yesterday Ray, it was my birthday too 😁, I keep thinking I’m done and then something catches my eye, I was happy with my markbass rig and then Ashdown brought out a new amp so I had to have that, then a barefaced cab had to be added, and then I got the valve itch so another amp was purchased , now I need a vintage fender, does it ever end , it’s good fun though 😁

It’s not just you, I had a road trip to Northampton a while back 😁

Welcome Blackthorn 👍

Welcome Funkateer 👍

I’m not 100% sure on the both bit, I’m sure someone will be along soon and be able to help you with that one 🙂

No , I’ve never liked that, the satin finishes feel nicer to me

Strangely that’s one thing that I don’t like, I know the neck would be worn if it was a heavy relic and kinda matches but it’s put me off buying a few custom shops before, I like a clean neck 🙂

I did my own little comparison yesterday with the RM500 and the V4B through the bb2 with my jazz elite on the same settings ,in both active and passive modes, both amps are nice , I would say the rm gave a more mellow tone for reggae, whereas the v4 is very clean and deep , both are great, just different 🙂
