Bit of a drive for me, but if anyone lives near it might be worth a visit

A bit of junior brown

A few years back after switching from precision’s to jazzes I made the mistake of thinking that the more money I spent , the better the jazz would be, so I bought 2 fender CS’s, one turned out to have a very slight rise on the fretboard, so the action couldn’t be set really low, that went straight out the door, and the second was really nice, but personally I wouldn’t say it was any better than my US jazz, which I preferred playing, so I sold it to a friend who really liked it, I don’t think I would pay the prices they are demanding now 🙂

You do well to sing and play at the same time, I can’t do either 😁

Nice one hiram 👍, I’d be interested in seeing them

Vintage fenders are always a minefield, there are some really nice ones out there that have good authentication, but they are highly priced, I’m always sceptical about low priced ones

Ah I’m guessing he wasn’t very helpful, shame as it looks a cool bass

Early tune

Apart from the covers is it all original

I tend to follow jazzes and I don’t do fb, but I would ask the seller for more pics, especially, the neck heel and pocket, the pot stamps and the pickups and as much info as possible 🙂,it’s a cool looking Precision

Have you looked up the serial number

I’ll be interested how much accumulates, I’ve had some flats on for years, great pictures 👍

And some Errol Holt , I’m liking this

Reggae in the ruff

Ah yeah, I forgot about that one, with brinsley Forde, must watch that later

Yeah, the first time I saw Black Uhuru it was pretty foggy 😁

From the film countryman, classic tune, promised land

The music was good , but I don’t think the film was all that , same with, The harder they come with jimmy cliff, Countryman was another

Tune ☝️

I’ve nearly lost myself quite a few times playing this, the main rhythm comes in on a few off beats throughout the song, I really have to concentrate

Yeah 👍 i think it’s from the film rockers, I remember this bit from the film

Thanks for that lowdown, I didn’t know who the bassist was but it really stands out throughout the song, I’ve added it to my, to try and play list 👍

One of my local radio stations just played this, what a great old tune

I’ve been catching up on some earlier Aswad , you don’t hear this one often, great Bassline
