    Just a quickie vintage Fender P-bass

    in Gear Gallery

    Posted

    So last night i went to visit Holly, my better half, at Kensal Town Studios in London where The Shebeats are doing some recordings!
    Lo and behold the studio had a number of 'house guitars' sitting in the studio in case anyone needs a particular sound.
    The one that caught my eye straight away, and the only really interesting bass (apart from a late 70's Mustang Bass), was this Precision. Like a geek i noted the Serial number down, and it dates 1977/1978.

    If i find myself up there, and its still for sale, i'll definitely pop in! :huh:

    I think me and a bass player friend are gonna trip to The Gallery and try some out, then i'll have a bit more of an idea. I'm loving the idea of the Epi UL's, but its between the 310, 410 and 212 at the moment, but that's simply based on ideologies.

    Cheers

    Pre-gig contacts?

    Yes its rarely the venue that does any contacting with the circuit my original band is on. Its all Promoters.

    But yes, most bands including us makes a point of sorting out kit shares way before the date, that way theres not surprises and i don't get annoyed at the gig :)

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='81013' date='Oct 29 2007, 08:48 PM']Lovely looking bass, Si! Did the tatoos come with it at no extra cost? :huh:

    How do those play? Like higher quality jazzes?

    (OTPJ=Lakland Noob!)[/quote]

    Ha, the Tattoo came seperately unfortunately and at a rather vast cost lol

    This particular Lakland i wouldn't liken to a Jazz, even after my rather limited playing of it (our gigs tent to be high-octane, so I'm not really paying attention to the nuances of the bass :) )
    I mean, its got a humbucker and is active, so i would say it leans more towards the MM side of things. But it does very much seem to have its own character!

    I'm a Lakland noob to, so maybe i'll do a review after a month of gigs or something.
    Having said that, even after that one gig, and before putting my own strings on it etc, i'm more happy then i was with my previous Fender Jazz Deluxe, so hey! :huh:

    They're a little shiney, but i have my secret to dulling down hardware :-D

    Next job is to quieten the buzzing electronics, i think i have an earth problem somewhere. I brought a new jack socket, so that'll go in to, hopefully making a difference.

    Then I'll get the headstock decal on.

    [quote name='Muppet' post='80926' date='Oct 29 2007, 06:44 PM']I agree- what they are saying is 'it is like New Old Stock' rather than saying 'it IS New Old Stock'........[/quote]

    Right, so if they're say "it is LIKE New Old Stock", where is the confusion?? They're not saying it is!

    They describe the NOS as:
    "This bass has been given our “New Old Stock” (NOS) treatment—built (from original tooling) as if bought new in its respective model year and just found today"

    Notice the speech marks around the "New Old Stock" suggesting its a model name rather then actual NOS, and that it has undergone a 'treatment' to attain the effect, and then later on in the sentence the "...as if brought new...", the "as if" highlighting the effect they're going for and nothing else.

    Its seems fairly obvious to me!

    Given the context of Fender's Time Machine series.....i don't see the difference between what you think it is, and their description.

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='75968' date='Oct 18 2007, 11:45 AM']Just finishing off the artwork for our first release - what do we need to state on the CD and packaging regarding copyright and so on?

    Alex[/quote]


    A 'C' with a circle around it denotes who owns the copyright to the artwork, a 'P' with a circle denotes who owns the Music
    E.G.
    Copyright 'C' Alec Claber
    Phonographic Copyright 'P' Song/BMG

    Obviously you might own the copyright to your recording, depends if you're signed, or if you've licensed the release etc. You'd also mention any publishing copyright as well (who wrote and owns the songs (not the recording..thats different)).

    Best thing to do with the rest of the gumpf like "public performance" etc etc, best thing to do is check out another CD and pick the bits that are applicable!

    You don't actually NEED the C's and P's, because once you have a tangible product, and you can prove 100% that you created it, you own the copyright, its just a technicality/backup writing it down.

    Other things might usually include crediting the producer/engineer etc.
    Who it was manufactured by (a lot of CD's are manufactured in Germany cos its cheaper, so often you'll see BIEM mentioned on the CD.....go on...go check lol).

    Umm, think thats about it, hope that helps
    Check back if you need anything else

    What Fender P's are good Fender P's?

    I kinda see what your saying, but:
    If you want a MIM you wait as long as it takes
    If you want a MIJ ..... the same!

    They're two different products because one will almost certainly be better quality then the other. Like i said, if you want something from Ishibashi, tell them you want to buy it! It might prompt them to make you aware of Stock quantities quicker.

    It looks like you have other basses to gig and practice with, so make sure you're not ordering a potentially inferior product simply because it will be delivered faster!
