Ah yeah I remember that too, would have been around the mid 80s I think, all the basses were on the back end of the shop, I also used a studio just round the corner but can’t remember the name of it

Been having a bit of a Don Carlos weekend going through many of his albums, here’s a few that have stuck with me

There was 2 I vaguely remember in Leytonstone high road, Freedman’s and Holiday Music, would’ve been around 78/80, I was having bass lessons as a teen and it was probably the first place I saw a fender jazz for sale but couldn’t afford anything like that then, I’ve made up for it since 😁, I found one pic but nothing for freedman’s

I like the black blocks on a maple board, mainly because of Aston Barrett’s 71 jazz bass, but agree with the rest

Neck through basses ( and I’ve got one) you can never get the action low enough and you can’t shim them Fast crazy show off slapping

I don’t use the covers on my P and jazz basses, but my AVRI 62P came with the bridge cover fitted so I left it on, all my the screws go in a small sealable bag and stored in the hard cases, same with the thumb/finger rests and screws

Very nice, looks like an L series and in really great condition

Very cool little thing, and they do come up for sale now and again on reverb

I like the beat on this one and the video

The mini precision and jazz doesn’t take up much space

Hi Rob, I’ve spoken with Phil many times but we’ve never actually done a deal, last time was his 72P, he’s mainly guitars but does get some decent basses sometimes

Hi pete, I like a bit of Ampeg myself, that looks great and don’t think they are particularly prone to any faults really, just play it and enjoy it whenever you can, good luck to you

That was a beauty miles, I remember it well

Yeah they do get some great ones sometimes, I saw that 1965 Fender Precision Bass the other day, it’s mint for the year beautiful

I did the same and lasted about 8 seconds, never heard of Rumble before

Loving that colour, nice one

Nice one, glad you’re enjoying it

Probably best I think given any issues the neck may have, I don’t know how long the auction has left to go but I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes into the 3-4k region

Welcome BTB

Been a bit busy this week and forgot to put a few up with Flabba on bass, it was his 75th birthday the other day and he’s still going strong, such a great player with exceptional timing , there’s so many to choose from so here’s a few, police in helicopter is probably one of my favourites, do you have any?
