    Not sure about boiling an egg but, in the right hands, it can cook up a storm.

    OK it's ugly and heavy but sounds superb. My Wallace AC5075XT:- Built around 1969. 2 x KT88s. In the early 70s when I was young and fit I used to gig a stereo wired bass into two AC100XTs (a lot bigger and heavier!) plus two Burman 4x12s.

    Yes it is isn't it.

    [quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1366470413' post='2052997'] out of curiosity how much would one cost for a jazz bass but with a cut out for a musicman humbucker in plain black? [/quote] PM'd.

    ............can do a similar look with the gold finished plastic marketed by WD Music though.

    Sorry guys, custom anodised not possible as far as I know without going to 'out of proportion' expense through specialist companies.
  9. The Bass Doc
    Shouldn't come accross as too distorted though. The sound will be well cushioned.

    [quote name='mrbassman_de' timestamp='1365519562' post='2040618'] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]For sure. Even if this is not a slab board, but one of the very first curved board Jazzies :-) [/font][/size] [/quote] 1st record I have of both a slab board and a curved board is the month of JUNE '62 so certainly by August they were curved only. This is a very nice example indeed! My reckoning on the stack knob -v- 3 knob system is that Leo Fender didn't simply change things just for the hell of it but to improve. Therefore I've never got too excited about acquiring a stack knob (Jaco's was one and he changed it).

    I think that once people know that you're a bass player [i]then [/i]they make certain assumptions about you. I usually say "Yes, like a horse".

    MB1 Feedback

    The Bass Doc replied to MB1's topic in Feedback

    Splendid result with MB1 whereby a pearl pickguard was supplied for his Stingray in exchange for a cheque! Being able to locate a chequebook in this day and age is highly commendable. Cheers Martin. [size=2]just noticed it's written from a Midland Bank Limited book.[/size]

    In the case of M D Philips the pronunciation would be Loo Tae Yer - roughly translated as Toilet To You as this also describes the standard the work one may expect.
  19. The Bass Doc
    Smooth transaction for a pickup from Derek. Pleasure to deal with.
  20. The Bass Doc
    Embarrassment of the above - sax player being very unpro in his pint drinking prior to soloing. We now have a different saxman. If anyone's interested (probably not) the first number features the Jazz pickup with tone down, finger-style, and the second clip is the Precision pickup with tone open and pleccy-stylee.
  21. The Bass Doc
    Psst, wanna see what genuine roadworn looks like? My 1963:- [attachment=131260:116.JPG] Edit - apologies to the purist/collector types but the J pickup was in there when I bought it many years ago.

    I knew as soon as I typed that what the response would be and from whom

    But the OP wants left-handed and I don't have any left-handed plastic in stock It's going to be a challenge. Maybe if I turn a regular piece upside down or do it in the mirror?

    *Removes glasses and false nose* "It is I, Le Doc" How wierd is wierd?
