Reggaebass

I use a fretwrap myself I used to nick her hair bands they did the same thing 

Yeah definitely go for it 

Hi they are factory sprayed. The answer is yes you could but you would have to completely take everything off the body and strip it back to bare wood and start again Its a lot of work. it looks really good to me as it is   I’m a carpenter and polisher  and done one as a project in my joinery shop 

Hi I bought a fender jazz bass last year at a slightly reduced price because the guy told me the bridge pickup didn’t work on only the A string. I put it into pmt for a set up and expecting a new pickup. The engineer there said the pole piece had been put in upside down in the factory  charged me £35 all in problem solved

That’s a nice wall!

Thanks I did it Christmas it’s reclaimed barn cladding 

Hi I’ve got a similar one it’s got the bullet truss rod the bound fingerboard     vintage pickups , bridge, and tuners    The only difference between this and my other jazz basses is the neck profile it’s very slightly deeper but feels great    and sounds really good with flatwound strings 

To me it looks sleek fairly simple and active and shell pink  I’d pay 2k all day long if it  sounds as good as it looks 

That’s nice how much are they?

It looks really good aidan63.      and it’s great fun building your own  this is one I did    it started life as a blue basic squire  I stripped it and sprayed it shell pink   And upgraded all of it  stained and polished the fretboard. I’m a carpenter/cabinetmaker and polisher by trade  it’s fitted with tapewound strings sounds really mellow

This is one of my favourites

Yeah i prefer the lower tone and I really like the large logo on the earlier ones and I’m sure they have the 4 screw neck plate  I’ve heard mixed reviews about the 3 screw ones. I’m not far from Andy Baxter’s shop might go and try a few.  Thanks very much for your advice 

This is good reading for me as I’m thinking of buying a 70s jazz or the jazz bass elite  I’ve done a lot of reading and 1972 seems to be the best year I already have 9 nice basses  but the early jb,s seem to be a good investment and a bit of fun

I just think it’s great that he wants to play    I would print off the bass tabs to the songs he likes  it’s a good  way for him to start learning tabs  he will be all over the fretboard in no time 

Thanks grangur.  That’s funny I used to be called count bassy at school in the 80 s

Quite worrying that someone has done that 

Have you tried using a braddle or a small electrical screwdriver to poke down the hole to loosen it 

If I’m not playing reggae I like playing hit me with your rhythm stick great Bassline 

It’s not really my thing but I heard     we are detective by the Thompson twins the other day  the bass tone is great 

Yeah I keep the treble back on my amp  for a warm mellow tone  but clean        I found I was spending more time messing around with my amp than I was playing or practicing  you just got to find the sweet spot 😀

When I play reggae or heavy dub I have my bass on about 2 o clock and a little bit of mid so it’s a nice low and you can hear the notes clearly   

The world in action music is actually quite good 

Anything by will young    I just have to turn it off 

Makes you wonder why they can’t trace the email 

I see that it’s been on a few times too good to be true 

Most deals are hassle free it’s just now and again it might not feel right. Why not sell it on here
