    Only way to improve that is a new tortoise shell pickguard. Absolute blinder, don't how you get your basses to shine so much more than mine

    I don't understand why this has a natural maple top i've never seen one before. I though DC stands for double cut?

    That looks a stonker! I do love the paisley finish, for men with big cojones. Really nice figuring on the neck too. I didn't know of a Fender Japan Custom shop till this. The single coil P basses have a real something tonewise I can't put my finger on. Thanks for putting up the pics!

    [quote name='AndyTravis' post='1024011' date='Nov 14 2010, 09:25 PM']I'm not 100% on what you mean Oli?[/quote] Just that I canni afford the extra work i'd want to do to it, unless the ESP goes and I decide to stick with bass permanently. I love the jazz setup when its fretless, it probably tops the precision tone.

    [quote name='AndyTravis' post='1023833' date='Nov 14 2010, 07:51 PM']Bravewood?[/quote] BUMP! For something as nice as that you'd be looking for an overwater defret/setup which cost me £140 on a Cort A4! And that was before they raised their prices

    If I had this i'd defret it and it'd be incredible, not that it isn't already!!

    They have a flawless B string, but make sure your used to the 35" scale first! I had no problem with it but its definately essential for tension and clarity. I had a 4 string USA Cirrus and it played anything I wanted it to.

    I like to see the grain through the paint (sunburst), or I also like the relic'd thing. If its a nice wood its awesome (e.g. Poplar) but natural Alder or Ash to me looks cheap and uncomplete. I also don't like pale wood basses but thats personal preference

    Reason I bought my Tele bass because of the Jethro Tull one, tone!!!

    [quote name='jonthebass' post='1018654' date='Nov 10 2010, 12:18 PM']ugh - Unwanted GAS. Thanks f*ck I'm skint [/quote] I know the feeling but its a good'un - a first rate vintage style precision without the baggage. It'll quickly become anyones flagship bass even a Jazzer.

    Gonna go for a sale now at £1100, justification for price above - firm and non negotiable. In no hurry to sell. Just giving it another review: The bass holds its own at really high volumes, no boxey bolt on break up. Unbelievably solid and resonant with fantastic sustain (without foam) - Really does sound like a piano on every note. The only thing anyone could criticize this bass for is whether or not you like the realistic worn finish...helps the tone/playability a lot though

    PM's replied - Fretless basses involving at least one jazz pickup are the only bass trades i'd consider. Primarily looking for guitar gear only.

    Muhahaha! No!! No! I really didn't - I swear on Devina McCall's life

    This is the ideal jump from a beginner bass up, surprised it hasn't gone
  22. Schnozzalee
    I do love bolt ons , bolt on guitars too! Thats a brilliant facing

    [quote name='munkonthehill' post='1014945' date='Nov 7 2010, 01:49 AM']I think the Fender in the title is a bit misleading as we have seen in previous threads though. As this aint a Fender, can you really tout it as one even though you have the (bravewood custom) at the end? Would it not be 'Bravewood custom 56 telecaster precision bass (fender replica)'.[/quote] Title amended

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1014421' date='Nov 6 2010, 04:11 PM']I wasn't aware that he put Fender decals on in the first place. My Bravewood had the decal applied by the first owner, and it's a waterslide placed over the varnish. First time I need to do any work on that bass, the decal comes off. It's not a Fender, so why have "Fender" on the headstock?[/quote] Oops! I'm gonna get myself lynched in a minute , there was no decal originally I guess as its not on it in the 'finished article' part of the site. I'm thinking the original owner prior to me added it also, did a cracking job then!! True...I kinda like the decal though lol looks original when I'm dancing in front of the mirror with it in my tighty whiteys

    [quote name='merello' post='1014395' date='Nov 6 2010, 03:38 PM']What do they charge?[/quote] Bravewood charged £1500 [s]before they packed up [/s]i've been told, they had to stop putting Fender on the headstock for the later part - the one on this does look cheekily real. EDIT: Or has he packed up?? Scratch that I don't know.
