I’ll up that to 20-1 😁

I like a bit of Sade and have been enjoying learning this, it’s different to what I normally play and it trips me up often, good one to play though

Oh no, this is so sad, I used to chat with Dave quite a bit by PM and we would send each other strings and all kinds of various stuff , truly a generous and thoughtful guy, I’m gutted 😞 , condolences to the family

I’m not too bad on a C neck, my AV62 P has one but I definitely find the B width more comfortable, which always gives me a dilemma when a nice 60s one comes up for sale, I think it’s because I’ve played jazzes for years

Pretty sure a 66 and a 65 will have a 7 for jazz

I did see that and it looks pretty cool, if I was closer I’d have a look, ii did notice the frets and it says it’s been re fretted, are they worn or just need a re dress

Was listening to some Barrington levy earlier and came across this which I haven’t heard for a while And from around 1981

Another really great video here that’s worth watching, really like the groove at 50.40 , wonderful playing and sound

Ah yeah 😁, now I’m understanding

Just a suggestion, wouldn’t a squier be better as I think it may be easier to sell the neck on if your changing it to a jazz one, and also upgrading anything else with fender parts should fit

I had to look up captcha, it’s just a picture showing different colours

Not sure about that one Rob, there’s a LPB blue and 2 others in this pic, excuse the geetars 😁

I think we looked into this once and there was quite a few different shades of lake placid blue, hasn’t the player ll got a Aquatone Blue

Wonderful present Steve, they are great jazzes, I think jr will be very pleased

Welcome GB

Just reviving this one to say I can recommend this from Gibson, it does a nice job of cleaning and buffs up really shiny , not sticky at all, I’d say it’s better than the fender one I’ve been using and apparently it’s ok for all finishes,

This got me looking at his new album , so I listened to The Essential Anthology again and being a big Matumbi follower from when they first started I also looked at what Dennis Bovell had produced , I recognised that first track but from a remix, I think this is the original from when he was in Matumbi but doing other things at the same time, as he went under a few different names like 4th Street Orchestra, African Stone, Dennis Matumbi, the one I’d like to hear is his dub version of Joshua Moses Africa, here’s a few of his others and here’s another which is probably better known as A Little Way Different, probably one of my favourite Basslines and dubwise ,around 77 the B side of blood ah go run

Some James Brown

Found a picture on talkbass and apparently it’s marble wood fingerboard on an Alder body with a passive 10 position Tonestyler

I know what you’re saying, but I don’t think they look that bad , I quite like the moollon precision’s but really can’t do that headstock

I couldn’t find exactly what wood was used on the fretboard, it’s on their custom gallery, I think there’s something about it on facebook but I don’t have it

Out of curiosity I enquired about these, they certainly make some lovely basses, especially the precisions , unfortunately their P basses only come with a 44.45mm vintage nut , which is a little wider than I prefer, and they are $4400.00 , here’s a few I like

Joshua Moses Africa is our land, great riddim and version

I don’t do FB, but it looks like the same clip on YouTube

Nice one thanks, I’ll look into that
