    Cheers FEND3R, it is indeed a very nice bass. PM's replied thanks, Karl.

    As per title, Factory Special run, link to specs [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-american-vintage-64-jazz-bass-daphne-blue/117509?gclid=Cj0KEQiAhuSzBRDBoZfG56bK9-YBEiQARiPcZcEK4axQjuQK-eZlRZyGOM9ORkXf--Yctw6k6N2El90aAjVr8P8HAQ"]http://www.gak.co.uk...El90aAjVr8P8HAQ[/url] Oops apologies, I'm in Wigan. Few months old, selling as don't get on with rosewood. Light at 8lb 6oz, fitted with La Bella Deep Talking flats. One tiny dink, treble side of bridge pick up, but this nitro finish is built to age quickly. Brand new (£140) Fender Pro Series Tweed/orange finish hard case. Extra £35 for UK insured courier. HOWEVER, I WOULD MUCH PREFER TO TRADE, with either an AV74RI Jazz, or one of the latest series American Deluxe Jazzes (maple board, active/passive, 4 string. I'm not convinced about moving this on, as it's gorgeous, BUT, it's rosewood so unlikely to get much use. Feedback at bottom of thread. Cheers, Karl. Apologies for photos, only Noah taking pictures outside!

    Legendary bass maker, bass and bassist Mr Murray, I guess it would be possible to get that wondrous beast adapted to EADG ?

    Hmm, slap bass. If I wanted to slap things about, I'd have learned to drum. I just can't listen to slap. Mr King has a phenominal reputation, but from his early days, simply not for me. I'm that bad, whenever I watch any kind of video, as soon as the slap starts, it gets closed. Now, John Paul Jones, was he.......................

    Absolute pleasure to deal with you Jamie, enjoy the P. Thanks for everything, deal with utmost confidence folks.

    You could measure up and get Roqsolid to do you one. I've used them for years and they are very good. Mind, they are getting a little less competetive price wise, despite their current "sale". Good luck.

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1450202762' post='2930519'] I don`t think the sound on some of the clips did you justice. It was good though [/quote] That's really kind timmo, cheers Don't actually know who or how it was recorded, it just kinda appeared. Only sound I could hear on the day was them 4 cabs behind me. Monitors? What monitors

    [quote name='richardd' timestamp='1450125493' post='2929898'] Cider through a straw Karl,not good , [/quote] [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1450127212' post='2929916'] That's not cider Rich, it's night nurse [/quote] Think I know what you both mean. Or have both you splendid looneys been at MY meds [quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1450170236' post='2930139'] Wow. I just keep coming back to look at this beauty I've not played a RW P before - I have a RW Jazz, and it's my fave bass ever This would look so good alongside my Jazz Wish I were a bit closer to you, so I could at least try this bass out .... then again, it's Christmas & I've already spent loads - so maybe it's a good thing you're a long way away? lol GLWTS for an amazing looking bass, at a good price [/quote] Thanks Marc.

    Somebody recorded all our Troyen set at Northumbria Uni, earlier on this year. This track, Futures Friend, although a bit cheesy is my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JicTQrRWlVM Crazy Lady went down really well. Shame, cos I hate it

    Good question, to which he replied he liked black

    [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1450133949' post='2929994'] Brilliant synopsis of the key eras of the Fender P! It's only in the last couple of years that I've come to appreciate the humble p-bass having spent the best part of 20 years before that deriding them as boring and unsophisticated (even referring to them as scaffolding planks with wires nailed on)! Loving precisions these days of course but a bit late to the party so a reference like this, all in one place, is really interesting and useful, thanks! [/quote] So many of us older chaps have had exactly that road

    You know he's (^^^^) 75 now don't you!

    Jaco, to me, did open up a vision of what was possible to achieve on a bass guitar. Perhaps forgotten areas due respect; He must have worked very hard to achieve his dexterity and technique. He must have thought a lot about how he developed that dexterity and technique. There will be yays and nays obviously, but, that is also part of his legacy. One of the two bands I'm in is a covers band. I use the first minute or so of Blackbird as a bass intro to Doctor Doctor . Don't really know what that says, but personally I am hugely grateful that I HAD THE CHOICE to listen to Jaco.

    [quote name='bigmuff69' timestamp='1450050327' post='2929227'] If things start getting desperate I've got a metallic plum purple USA jazz,though it's a rosewood board�� [/quote] GONE THANKS. Thanks Muff (I've ALWAYS wanted to say that ) but the bass is now on hold. Thanks all, cheers, Karl.
  18. karlfer
    Many thanks for that Superb 8 string you built there
  19. karlfer
    Last gasp. Will do a straight swap for either; US Fender Jazz, maple board, excellent condition. US MM Sterling, maple board, excellent condition. Cheers, Karl.

    Unfortunately Eternashine recommend not to use on nitro Anybody recommend a body shop in Wigan/surrounds that can do this sort of stuff?
  21. karlfer
    Others have said it as well. Lovely bass but I couldn't live with that headstock.

    Trips out on Fri and Sat night gigs as back up (in case of string break on P/J). Splendid photography as ever , feedback at bottom of post.

    SOLD THANKS Thanks Mr. Floop, they are indeed most excellent. So much so, that despite 5 people being in various stages of moving gear to fund these, I'm strongly thinking of pulling them rather than just getting something tweeterless in a smaller box One chap asked if they were ok. Well, they are my only cabs, so, last night or Friday night, same gig different town , still a crappy photographer Feedback at bottom of post.

    [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1449844806' post='2927455'] Speechless that this is still here. If I had the money I'd have it in a heartbeat. GLWTS [/quote] So am I. Although Japanese 57 RI'S come up frequently, the US AV57RI comes up quite rarely. Here's a link to an interesting advert for a White Blonde one (as this was originally) from a couple of years back. The light (Swamp?) Ash used on these is a revelation compared to most Ash [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/173510-sold-fender-57-vintage-reissue-precision-white-nitro-l1200-mint/page__p__1615965__hl__av%2057__fromsearch__1#entry1615965"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1615965[/url] Thanks for all the further offers/trade offers. Incubass in particular, was close

    Correct Lozz I have however, had some expert advice, which I'm going to start to organise from Monday 14th Dec. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/274786-help-with-sorting-poor-refinish-please/page__pid__2926863#entry2926863"]http://basschat.co.u...63#entry2926863[/url]
