    At 51, I'm stuck right in the middle of wanting to join a band and wanting the time to myself. Have been in several bands in the past, and absolutely miss the buzz of being on stage. What I don't miss is getting home at 3am on a Sunday morning in the winter, and subsequently being tired for the rest of the day. I'm at the stage in life where one child has left home, and the other will soon enough. He's such a good kid (17) to hang around with, and he wants to spend time with his dad. That to me is more important than finding folk to jam with at the moment. I still play often in my wee music room, and that keeps my playing at a questionably reasonable level of competence. I dunno. Maybe I'll get back to it in a few years. There aren't much options where I live for new projects anyway 😞

    All four of the above will be getting blasted out on my Ric tonight. Albeit with way less finesse and talent than the man himself.

    Gutted for his boys to lose both parents at such a young age. RIP Mani. Such a huge influence.

    More strings that I didn't like. They're great on my American Jazz, but I don't like them on my Vintera. Cut for Fender spacing and used for about an hour. £35 posted

    Likewise, I'd be all over that if I didn't already have a FG 4003. Funnily enough, I just sold a P bass that I tried to love for about 3 years. They're just not for me, with the conclusion being that I can only entertain J's and Ric's. How different we all are. Anyway, GLWTS !

    And the annoying chrome bezel is gone too. I found it's removal made mine far, far more playable. Lovely colour combo with the AG and gold. GLWTS

    I've just located a hard case in the loft, so the bass will be shipped in this

    As were fitted to one of the many Jazz basses in the arsenal. Maybe for an hour or so. They're just not for me. Cut generously for Fender spacing. £35 posted

    Now £700 plus delivery. I'd rather like to avoid putting it on the bay if possible !

    Thank you, it's really something special I think. The bodywork is a total credit to the former owner. I'd absolutely love a Jazz done the same way..

    I've tried a million different brands of flats, and I've got clear favourites. This is what I use: Fender AM Jazz: Labella Low Tension. I love these. So smooth feeling and sounding Fender 70's Vintera Jazz / Le Marquis Jazz: Fender 9050's on both. I'll never swap these strings out. Ric4003: Rotosound Jazz. These suit the Ric tones well, although I'd prefer if they were smoother. I think I'll swap these out for Labella's. Fender AM P Bass / Aerodyne Jazz: Tomastik TI's. They sound great, just a bit sticky for my liking. Hofner 500/1: Beatle Bass Labella's. Lovely and thumpy. My top two are the LB Low Tension's and the Fender 9050's. Either would be great for you I'd say. Be warned that the Fenders take a good bit of time to break in, but once there. Oh man. The sound..
