    Cheers Matt, any issues with the Bass, give me a call.

  2. Bloody hell!! I've had one of these since 1998 I bought it for £550 in a local music shop and used it a load in the studio for some high c work, I have the walnut body and wenge thru kneck type described in your link. Really tidy bass.

    Thanks!

  3. For sale:

    Peavey 410TX cab with horn, about 10 years old, decent condition, dead reliable cab, 8 ohms....

    Not much else to say,£40, come and pick it up, or I can drop it for petrol money within reasonable distances of Scunny and Manchester or along the M62 corridor.

  4. [quote name='E_MaN' post='131953' date='Feb 1 2008, 02:34 PM']The fact he's from switzerland...foreigners eh? lol And also he seems to have alot of stuff from Jap, looking at Japanese fenders especially the 75 models just seeing whether they're not 'ghosts' or anything. I couldn't see anything wrong from the feedback either but I'd thought I'd check...[/quote]

    I bought a bass from him, as described and came in like a week, good comms etc, seems fine to me. I think he specialises in Jap Fenders.

  5. [quote name='nottswarwick' post='132151' date='Feb 1 2008, 07:36 PM']?? - just curious..[/quote]

    Richard and I have dealt with each other before and earlier on I was teasing him for selling too many basses and I'm selling one now, which I rarely do, so he's taking the mick!!!!

  6. OK guys I've got a question about my own bass and I need some help Nottswarick has pointed out that the Fender site lists Jap mades as having R +5 digits, but mine has R + 6 digits, I know it's kosher since I've owned it from new but I'm just wondering what the situation is with this, it was made in 2006, so did they change the serial numbering or what?.

    Like I said, I never really thought about it cos I got it new from Japan

  7. Well I'm just going off what it said when I bought it, I suppose it doesn't really matter does it. Based on previous comments in the forum the acuracy of these models can be a bit of a mish mash, I don't think the RI status is the selling point really, it's a Jazz Bass, it sounds like a Jazz Bass and plays like one. It's made to look like a vintage instrument but in the end it was actually made a couple of years ago.

    It has the bound rosewood and block inlays of a 66/67 but as far as I know the Japanese don't do an RI with Oval Tuners to match, moreover the bolting on the neck is 3 bolt which would be way wrong for 66, but it also has a thumb rest. I've always got the impression that they weren't trying to produce genuine copies, just inspired replicas, applying the tradiational values of Japanese quality control and precision manufacture and producing something which aped the characteristics of a vinatage. To be frank I'm not sure Fender ever made an instrument either in the 60s or 70s that looked like this, especially with the Black headstock and gold/black writing????

    I've found it to be the best put together fender I've had my hands on other than my 82 fullerton, no rough edges, flawless finish, solid feeling instrument.

    I don't know it's history, I got it new from Japan because I liked the look and fancied a Jazz, trouble is I have a Sandberg JM a couple of Precisions and some Stingrays so it just ain't getting used.

  8. Hey all, I have for sale my mint condition Crafted in Japan 66 reissue Jazz Bass.

    Black with a tort pickguard and a matching black headstock, and a thumb rest.

    Never really played it, bought a P bass straight after and it just doesn't get used, I've been over it with a finetooth comb and I can't find a mark on it

    serial number R005534

    Also what you can't see from the headstock shot is that bizzarely the 'Jazz Bass' is written in black so only shows up in a certain light -crazy Japs!!!

    £500.

    Delivery: I'm pretty flexible, come and have a look at it I'm in Scunny, or I can meet up with you anywhere near Scunny, Lincoln, Manchester, M62 Corridor or North Cheshire for petrol money. I'll put it into an old hard case I have if I have to post it.

  9. Is this the one you used to have in your old B/W avatar? If I remember correctly Tombboy used to rave about this, a fair price for anyone wanting to pick up one of these bad boys, they are the balls as good a musicman as has ever been made IMNSHO.

  10. Well this bass is sitting in my practice room so it's definitley not for sale, if anyone ever gets a chance to get their paws on one of these Fullerton reissues then they should it's without doubt the best playing and sounding P Bass I have ever played.

  11. [quote name='Cantdosleepy' post='87432' date='Nov 12 2007, 05:35 PM']I came into my room last night to find Carol Kaye dressed in my clothes, playing my bass, recording straight into my laptop.


    I chased her out with a broom.[/quote]

    That's nothing, last night I walked in on Mark King poking a my cat with a fork! I wouldn't mind but it isn't the first time.


    Seriously...

    I've always found Mac to be a bit on his own as a bassist, not that much like a bass player more like a singer playing a bass, tough to articulate what I mean really.

  12. At the moment it's got some of those Basslines pickups on it, I'm not sure which ones since they were on it when i bought it, the otehr option would be to find a set that mimic the originals as closely as possible, there's just something i don't like about the bass lines ones.

    Any suggestions, I don't have the originals??

    Thanks so far everyone.
