I think we should respect the builder, from his POV there’s a lot at steak -

Folks, this thread made my Friday morning, thank you. Cow references were amusing, strangling a giraffe singled handed even more so. Mwah not moo however finished me off. Thanks again -
Nice isn’t it, will probably be for sale soon however, as I like a Precision to have a Precision neck, it’s a bit thin for me

That’s about right. Signage not necessary I suspect

Time for a bigger house

Some amps please the head, others please the heart. I prefer those that please the heart. I suspect Mr Kilmister was of similar view

I suspect that Fender did that with an old bass of mine

Old school heft, Marshall heft, the kind of heft that has a direct linear relationship with only one variable: not watts, impedance or size, but mass

I imagine there was PA support Imagine standing in front or a 4x15 and - at head height - a 4x12. Even 100w is going to be pretty impressive. And these were proper old money watts of course

As a Motorhead fan in the early 80's imagine my sheer joy to find myself, at a friend's gig at a club in Holland Park in London, next to Lemmy at the bar. We sat there for an hour or so, chewed the fat, he bought us a drink, we I think were skint so didn't return the favour but IIRC he didn't seem to mind. A really nice, calm, intelligent guy. Don't think he said one thing that suggested he was a famous musician. I do remember that I spent the whole night with my leather jacket zipped up desperate for him not to see my Motorhead t-shirt! One of rock's great characters. The story of how he 'left' Hawkwind is a classic

I miss that dude

As above, the stacked knob feature is nothing more than a circuit configuration. With Jazz Basses, circuits are so easy to change and so varied that I’ve always seen them as being like a bridge or PUPs, that is part of the Bass with which you experiment until you get it right, more than a defining feature of the instrument itself. For example I’ve tried active versus passive, series versus/and parallel, VVT versus VTP versus VT/VT etc. Best advice I can give us to find the Jazz you like best and install the circuit.
