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 👍

Personally I would work on this Dave , because now you’re conscious of it you can pay more attention to keeping the thumb on the back of the neck, the only time my thumb does that is when I’ve been playing for a long time and I’m getting tired 🙂

Nice story and nice bass, it takes a long while to find the right vintage bass that has everything you want, I’ve been looking for about a year for my perfect one, I’m glad you found it 👍
