The 'veneer' - or cap - to which your refer thins out and the cap progressed to the heel of the neck on all of the AVRIs I have seen. This may be to lighten the tone in the upper registers but the taper in the cap is correct.

Is it gone, yet????

Guy I know might be floggin one, condition unknown. Any ideas of a price if in good nick?

Guess you'll have to stone/dress the frets, too? I know I had to with a Mighty Mite Jazz neck.

I liked the artwork too!

...and me!

I wonder of what perecentage lower than the asking that single offer is?

I sold similar three years back for £2.5K. Does provenance add another 4? looks like it.

Are the pups MEC or EMG?

Wayy too expensive!

No Belew, either; I rather liked him. Liked Trey Gunn's playing but happy to see Tony Levin back in the line-up.

He gave it to photographer Ross Halfin. It's on his blog. They gave him a case as well!

It's odd, I thought the usual thing in pro sound would be to run a DI before the amp in addition to miking the speaker. Surely if they'd been doing that, the sound guys could have turned up the DI fader to FOH and put some in the sidefills within seconds of the amp going down? I wonder if the Soundgarden bassist is one of these guys who is unusually insistent about not having a DI there at all?

THIS is how it should have gone! There is clearly a monitor in front of the bassist and, in-ears or not, he would have been getting some of his sound down those from the DI/monitor desk feed. The fact that there was no bass after the amps went down points to no DI. Bad call, whoever made that choice!

Yep..it is their job to get the sound delivered to where it needs to go.
Having an amp fail isn't an option...and they had a backup, apparently. It may well happen but it shouldn't matter in the grand scheme
of things in getting the bass out front or on stage.

Anything more than a tech spending a few seconds on it is a total fail...

The sound guys cannot be held responsible for backline gear failing; that is the domain of the the backline techs! That said, if there was no DI before the amp rigs, then the person who made that choice, whether it be one of the sound-crew or the bassist himself, is the one to blame. I have never, in all my days, heard of sound crew being responsible for backline fails!

This.

This is the issue I have with fender these days. If they call a Jazz RI a '66 (A year specifically known for having lollipos, and dots and binding), then it has to be that, otherwise, why dont they call it a '68, that way they have nothing to worry about, they can get away with regular 70's style tuners that the japs use anyway, and block necks.

Like the early Custom Shop J's being called a 1960 on the certs, and having 3 knobs...i could go on...

most annoying!!

I'm with you 100% on this. The '60/'62 thing annoys me even more

The backline crew are responsible for maintaining backline gear! Its ultimately their responsibility, not the sound crew! But, like I said, there should have been a DI - provided by the sound crew - before the amp. That way, if a double or triple-redundant rig fails, at least the DId signal goes to monitors and FOH!!

Sell the Carlsboro!

I think that is exactly who you blame if you have no bass out front... and on stage for that matter.

Did you read the part in my post about the DI? And [i]how[/i] can you possibly blame the sound crew if your amp fails?

This is why you should have a DI in use for live work. DI the bass then send a link to the amp; if amp AND spare fail, you still have something to salvage the gig. And as for valve sound? Who at the back of the hall is gonna tell the diff between valve and DI.

You can't blame the sound crew for this massive fail, unless there was no DI in the first place.

Doesn't sound like the B4, which had Vol, Pan, and a tone control that is, in fact, just a low pass filter. It also had a mini-toggle for swapping between boosted or cut tines chosen by the pre-amp in the rear. Doesn't sound like a B2, either! B4 serials began with the year date. Pix would be of help.

Got one off Ishi a few years back. Very light, dot n bound, black with matching headstock. Sure I sold it to a fella on here.

I'm no P-bass expert but that neck looks a tad newer than the rest of the bass.
