    [quote name='tony_m' timestamp='1477398460' post='3161950'] And it then appearing in the Basses For Sale section shortly afterwards... [size=3](sorry Karl, somebody had to say it!)[/size] [/quote] I really hope not Tony. The specs I've asked for are, shall we say, niche. The bass is also niche. I VILL MAKE ZIS WERK

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1477346592' post='3161682'] Karl thanks for starting a thread. I'd saw the site a couple of weeks back but forgot to bookmark it or write down the name Been driving me nuts trying to remember With me being nuts about Peaveys it's unlikely I'll be buying one but I think it's great we have another fella in the UK starting up.Chinese manufacture doesn't bother me in the slightest,well impressed with my Retrovibes so can't see these being any ldifferent. Bookmarked the page now and will keep an eye out for occasions when I can give them a plug. [/quote] My pleasure Davie, you've done plenty for other folks on here, that's for sure! [quote name='landwomble' timestamp='1477348646' post='3161695'] So Jazz neck, solid colour body - what sort of price? And can you either match headstock colour to body or leave it unpainted to match the neck? Anyone able to give me an idea of how this would sound compared to what I know, which is precision and jazz? [/quote] Go to post #1, click on the link for Adam's (JOW) website. There are short videos for both the long scale 34" and shortscale 30" on there. As far as sound is concerned, you should be able to get a great deal of tones out of it, between amp, pedals, technique. Although it is quite gritty on the vids, due to pick use, I would be very surprised if there isn't some lovely smooth stuff in the bass, for finger style, clean amp sound bassists. Specs, prices, well contact Jow through pm on here or directly through his website. I don't expect this bass to be of the quality of a Shuker but I would expect it to be a thoroughly usable gigging machine that looks different. That's why he got them made for himself originally. I'm so glad he did

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1477345561' post='3161668'] Looking forward to reading your report of it! [/quote] You'll be waiting a while. Jow's is a micro business in it's very early stages. He will need to be careful with cash flow so it's going to be a patience gig for buyers. I recently acquired a Squire CV 50's Precision, made in China. It's frankly astonishing. That is one of the reasons I've just said sod it (as I know at least 2 others have). The good thing is Jow is a well respected session and live bassist who knows what bassics we need to be right. If they are right, I can do the rest myself. You just KNOW a bass like this will court interest at a gig .

    Well, Jow has really gone all out to take his un-asked for market research onboard For years I've wanted something this different, yet retro. The cost has always been prohibitive. To get one with a jazz neck, single chrome covered pup, in the colour/plate/ board I want, for around the cost of a used Mex Standard Precision. LIFE IS TOO SHORT NOT TO, Hell yeah! Already counting the days until my Sea Foam Green turns up

    This actually is a rare recent Fender. IT IS A FENDER JAPAN 75 RI WITH FACTORY P/J. I don't know of any other Fender Jazz with this format, except Aerodynes. Please check last picture. EDIT, I'm talking cobblers, the 2014 US Hot Rod jazz was same configuration but sold for around £1600. Also limited run. There is a fair bit of info on the web about the FSR Ltd Edition Old Candy Apple Red P/J, as there were 78 made available. At the same time, there were a few white and sunburst released. I remember GAK and Andertons showing one in stock, end of 2013, early 2014. Around the same time as the 66 (which didn't have lollipops/dots) There are quite a few references to "hand crafted in Japan" for these '75s. A few bits on Talk bass and indeed Basschat, but this series is rare anywhere outside of Japan. So, a light alder (9lb 3oz) Fender Japan , Factory Special Run, '75 reissue Limited Edition Jazz with factory fitted Precision pick up. As far as I can see, this bass is immaculate. Comes with Hiscox Liteflight case (originally gigbag). At the time, they were £1149. I took this as a trade against my £700 Road Worn, from a very nice but determined chap. He knows it's going straight back up for sale. Old Candy Apple Red in GAK [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjKSKOzCHk"]https://www.youtube....h?v=myjKSKOzCHk[/url] TRADES. Immaculate PUMA 900 + £250 cash to me. Immaculate PUMA 500 + £300 cash to me. I gigged this last night (with ashtrays on). Although I took it with intent to sell it (I still have too many basses) I'm only going to leave it up for a few days. It is frankly an astonishing bass. £700 collected from Wigan, £730 UK insured courier. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1477211904' post='3160498'] You could alternate by fret -maple/rosewood/maple/rosewood etc That'll screw with the 'experts' minds..... [/quote] Another evil genius!!! I like these thoughts chaps

    Done a bit of research and you have opened a whole new world of lunacy for me Richard . Really kind your advice and offer of help, top man
  10. karlfer
    Excellent Richard, very kind, many thanks for that. As you've got previous for this and you do a great job, you don't happen to have done a kind of build thread have you?
  11. karlfer
    Half hearted bump. I really would like to buy GILLY's PUMA, but looking unlikely. The other chap who has one of these for sale is including a speakon/speakon lead. I will also include buyer's choice of lead, speakon/speakon or speakon/jack. Thanks for looking.
  12. karlfer
    Wow, looks great well done. Any "before" pics? Any chance of links to products used (especially on the 'plate)?

    [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1476998828' post='3159221'] I like that blue yin at the back! [/quote]

    Thanks chaps. These basses are very well thought of by many. Couple of tentative pm's replied. They have been on sale since Jan 2009, although not that many come up second hand. Fender prices have rocketted over the last couple of years. Plenty "new" available at £1275 .
  15. karlfer
    I can't do anything but speak from experience. I have a fairly recent Chinese Classic Vibe 50's Precision in LPB and even stock spec it's an astonishing bass. Fairly sure this series is also regarded highly by many.
  16. karlfer
    400 Jazz and 400 Precisions made in 2012. That's really not a lot of these basses for the world. They don't come up very often and it may be a LONG time before Fender do another run. Anybody liking, might be an idea to jump rather than hesitate. We all know with Tom, it'll be a good 'un.

    I've got a decent reputation on here. Having just dealt with Alan, I still have a lot to learn. We did part cash/part ex. He did payment/box up before I'd even managed to sort a box. His packaging was superb, delivery time daft fast. Now, the bass received. A humble 2005 Mex Standard Precision, with upgraded bridge and pick up. Astonishingly well set up and he'd obviously just oiled the board. What a player and what a sound. Simply put, I simply can't recommend Alan enough. Thanks fella.

    Nothing of massive value, but all good playing and sounding workhorse basses .

    Typical lovely Ibby with MAPLE board and one of the elite gear whores on Basschat. What's not to like! Good luck Tom.
