Reggaebass

Some info here if it’s any help 🙂

I foolishly sold my one about a year ago and bought a custom Sandberg, which I really like , but I do miss it and , imo it was better than the custom shop jazz I also had, if another came up I would be very tempted 🙂

Thanks very much Cuzzie ☝️, it plays really nice, I actually don’t mind it with no knobs

Not strictly a precision because I’ve fitted my favourite old jazz bass neck to a 22 year old P body, which is aging nicely, I put Tonerider TRP1 pickups in yesterday with a kiogon loom with a 0.1uF cap , and with the labella LTFs , it sounds amazing. I just need 2 flat top chrome knobs and a threaded bridge saddle and it’s done, I can’t put it down 🙂

Have you tried just trying another E string , to eliminate whether it’s the string or not 🙂

What a great track, Underground Railroad , I really like that 👍

I’m no expert but I’ve just fitted a kiogon loom and I asked John for more bass and less treble and he fitted a, 0.1 uF cap , which sounds great, I still get treble but it’s not as bright, hope this helps FB ☝️

My 62RI jazz came with the holes pre drilled in the pickguard, I don’t believe there is a template, here’s a pic if it helps

Just bought another loom from John, this time for my P bass, I ordered it yesterday and it came this morning, absolutely fantastic service, and it’s fitted and sounds superb, many thanks John ☝️ cheers Tony

Thanks BrunoBass, I’ll be there it’s not far from me 👍

I’m up for that, do you know when

Those tunes remind me of, mirror in the bathroom - the Beat 🙂

There’s so many, and not making them all reggae I’d say, rhythm stick - Ian Dury watching the detectives - Elvis Costello could you be loved - Bob Marley

I’m a big Augustus Pablo fan and I recently dug this album out, I’d forgotten how good it was, there’s some really nice basslines , well worth a listen if you like the melodica , it’s pablo day today 🙂

That’s a bit tasty, i can’t say I’ve seen one before with that shape headstock

I had this once , and noticed my fingertips were black after playing for a while, so I used some fine furniture cleaner and a very light coat of lemon oil and it was fine, the reason some water based stains smell odd is the water can go off in time 🙂

Hi silvia, it could be a stain that’s been sprayed in the factory to tint the fretboard slightly darker, we did it in our joinery shop and some stains have a strange smell 🙂

Very nice indeed ☝️

The black looks nice ☝️

That’s cool, I like that.

I haven’t, but it might be worth a try , I do have other cabs 👍
