It's back on now, is that mold at the neck joint?

You didn't miss much, it was an SG shaped guitar with an AC/DC sticker slapped on it.

I like the tracks I've heared so far, just don't have the spare wonga at the mo.

There are some Mighty Mite P necks on ebay bidding starts at £40. I bought a jazz neck off them a few weeks ago.

My main bass is the Warwick dolphin but I do have a bitsa jazz for those less savory venues.

I had one many moons ago that clipped onto ths strap or my belt, It might have been the jhs one.

If it were me, I would check to see if it was stolen. The price is too good to be true.

I had a similar experience and got a refund as soon as my wife sent a snotty message. We asked the seller to arrange collection but they didn't bother and told us to chuck it (no it wasn't a bass). I wouldn't pay to send it back though.

Are there other types of jazz then?

I just like reading his feed back. I wonder how many people buy the cheap stuff just to leave neg/neutral feed back and wind him up?

Steven James Guitars in Middlesborough, good selection of new and used basses. Good customer service, friendly and helpful.

Yea ME!

On a serious note I think it was Peter or Henry Fonda who played a double bass player in a club and was acused of doing a robbery he didn't do cos someone else did it.

I don't know about the body but I have used beeswax on a neck I have. I used Lord Sheratons pure beeswax balsem from Wilkinsons, applied it with very fine wire wool (it contains turps). I then applied some Briwax which is also beeswax but buffs up to a sort of gloss. I was amazed at the finish I got.

Well said that man.

Ha, my Aunt used to run the Swansea Jack pub about 200 yards from the prison.

I played an original Highway 1 Jazz (without Badass and I think without grease bucket), I personally prefered it to the USA. I think it fills the gap between Mex and USA nicely and the finish looks cool. Prices vary from shop to shop, I think Sounds live do them for about £490.

I used to back the tone right off on a few numbers I recorded on a Jazz I had years back. When I had the Cort and the Stingray Everything was full on, they were the first active basses I owned so went ott a bit. Now I have a Warwick and play Blues so have the Eq set flat and only use the neck PU. I find you get a nice warm sound without being too muddy, I like the tone that Jack Bruce gets out of that fretless Thumb bass.

I "think" our friend from the north Mark Knopfler is a lefty who plays right.

Nice looker, better than the OLP in my opinion. That bridge looks nice and solid.

Frets, they make us all lazy.

Bass's with plastic necks and/or plastic bodies (Y'know Status/Modulus, etc)

1.Bass's made with exotic wood which really should be left for coffee tables and the like.

2. Bass effect pedals.

3. Bass's with more than 4 strings.

I had no wax or strings with mine but the strap locks and everything else was there
