Fel the lurv! Indeed a good place this is! T

I picked up a Jap Fender ,75 reissue a few weeks back, from the conversation I had, it dated about 10 years back and for it's age is in average to good condition! Decided to take a look at the serial today. It's A028453 with "made in Japan" on the headstock According to the various Fender dating sites out there, that puts it around 1985-1986! [url="http://www.fender.com/support/japanese_instruments.php"]Fender serials[/url] I thought it was 1997 ish, but I think that would say "crafted in Japan" on the headstock. Can someone confirm this is correct? Tony

How is anyone going to sell a £3K bass when it is hung up with dead strings, massive action and dust and crap all over it? And before you say vintage Fender, you know what I mean [/quote] I think SC took over distribution, thats why they have all the big $$ basses in! T

Low pass filter is great, I'd have another tomorrow if I could find one used, just need to put it in a loop cos it sucks tone baaaad, are the others the same? T

I think I may own one of the so called "Daddies" a 5 string Dolphin! Stage 1's are nice, you just gotta try a few, some are better than others, a lot swear by the early ones, they are indeed a good vintage, but there are some gems amongst the later models with most being very good basses. Even with the bolt on of the species, you got to try a few, there is some variation around with the necks and it can make a big difference. I've owned a lot of Warwicks and enjoyed them all, I'm just going thru a J / MM phase now so they ain't floating my boat at the moment! T

This is an easy one for me Bass Boss TU2 Mark Bass Little Mark and the logic behind it is....... I like it the way it is! Really only use an enveope filter and I'm in btween filters at the moment T
