    Seller seems quite up front?

    The model name is innovative 👍

    Let's not forget that Fender were innovating in the late 70's; neck pockets significantly larger than the heel allowing the user to align the neck on the hoof with the equally innovative offset bridge, multiple layers of varnish on the neck allowing the user's hands to stick in place more efficiently, added weight allowed the player to secure better mechanical link with the floor (see Badass Bridge discussion) no doubt alleviating the need for later generations to invent the Buttkicker.......... Only joking, love 70's Fenders 👍

    Ah, a coincidence and a half!

    That one kinda looked like it had been dragged around by the headstock for most of its life

    Early '70s IIRC, the board had not been especially well done and needed some wizardry from Paul to get it right. I bought it to go on a mongrel '71 P/J I had at the time but realised after all the hassle and work that the bass in question worked better with a Precision neck 🤔 It was also an expensive lesson in not trusting everything an apparently expert and highly rated musical instrument dealer tells you about a neck 😡

    Unless there's two extremelty similar necks out there (split in the binding at the heel being the giveaway), I suspect that's my old neck, bought form the US around 15 years back, and then worked on by Paul Herman at Wal. Although sold to me as 'original', it's not original per se in that the board has been replaced (unlined and bound ebony boards not having been an option on 70's Jazzes). But it remains a lovely neck 👍

    John East had a similar charging system on the P-Retro (not USB, 1/4 jack, but similar principle) 👍

    I'm going to experiment with the Status neck on a Jazz body routed for an MM PUP, I love the tone of the Ray, I love the playability of the Status neck 👍

    Something quite Thin Lizzy about the first track 👍
  11. Beedster
    Great pics, looks a great gig. Love your bass also 👍
  12. Beedster
    That’s a fair point 🤔
  13. Beedster
    Drummers either have a small car or no car, go figure?

    Unattractive relic to my eye, lots of battering round the edges rather than player wear
  15. Beedster
    That’s the truth of it 👍

    If you want it be quick however, as I appear to be changing my mind a lot at the moment and it wouldn't take a lot of convincing for me to keep it
  17. Beedster
    Rather torn about this and certainly not overly keen to sell, but I bought it recently to do a better job than a Status Jazz in an RHCP project but I think I prefer the Jazz. I'm selling for slightly less than I paid, c'est la vie. Trade-wise I'd like a decently large amp, Boogie, Ampeg, WHYG? This has a forearm contour that I assume is a modification (as opposed to factory), but as you can see, has been very well done. I can get to London or most of SE (or beyond) for a handover, and given this thing is 100% bombproof I'm happy to post in a hard case 👍 More details here

  19. Beedster
    That is a bargain 👍
  20. Beedster
    Well on the face of it, it's a pre-CBS at the price of an early 70's, so I'm thinking if it was legit it would have been snapped up already, there's about £5k resale profit in there for someone
  21. Beedster
    Yep, the Basschat Rule: if it looks to good to be true.....
  22. Beedster
    Mmm, no feedback, odd price, indicates London but offers shipping only to lower 48 states.......
  23. Beedster
    Happy to consider trades for this or I'll put it on eBay/Reverb 👍
  24. Beedster
    So, no-one's put their hand up for this, and having played it again this weekend I'd be pretty mad to sell it. I bought it for a Chilis project for which I subsequently also the SUB because I think it suits the project better (I really wanted a Modulus Flea). But to be honest the Jazz is just so bloody good I would be kicking myself about in the pretty near future, although I suspect I'd feel the same if I sold the SUB also. Problems, problems, problems

    Keep them mate. Even my ‘little’ Diesel 2x10 blows the socks off pretty much every cab I’ve owned with the exception of my two bigger Diesel cabs 👍
