Oh my, that looks perfect. I know the feeling: both my 66 and 70 Jazzes have had refrets that have made them absolutely immaculate.

I love the fact they have a page "Stuff that no one buys" on their website and that that page is empty.

But that's not a matching headstock.

I'd be surprised if 2 matching headstock black slab board 62s exist.

Aaaaaactually there are two things that Fender couldn't do: JMJ uses D'Addario longscale strings on his '66 but Fender didn't want to use those so they looked for Fender longscale flats that were the most similar to the D'Addarios. My contributions: -Dingwall NG. How many people actually know who Nolly Getgood is apart from Periphery fans? -Fender Geddy Lee, which is basically "just" a very good 1972 reissue with a heavy bridge -Fender Flea Jazz, which is basically "just" a very good 1961 reissue -Fender Sting, which is basically "just" a very good 1955 reissue -Epiphone Jack Casady -Sandberg Ken Taylor. I honestly do not know who Ken Taylor is.

Send it to Amsterdam, I'll take care of it until you want it back😁

My first "grown up people" bass that I bought when I was about 12 or 13 is a Blade B2 Tetra Bass which I have since then upgraded with Lollar pickups and an Aguilar preamp. It's an amazing bass with a killer neck but the 70's bridge pickup spacing isn't for me. I have 8 Jazzes and this one never gets used. Shame, because it's a fantastic bass. I'll never sell it though.

It's not Sparta?

Aren't there only geeks in this topic?

Oh wow, that is gorgeous! Is it 60's or 70's bridge pickup spacing?

Took my TRB out for a spin. Wasn't disappointed.

Either a Marleaux Diva or a Celinder J Classic.

Gorgeous. Does need binding though.

I had one of those a few years back and to my surprise it had a quarter sawn neck! Does yours have one as well?

Last weekend I got a call at 3:30 if I had something to do that night. I didn't. So I got a bunch of chord sheets and did a Bruce Springsteen tribute show with no preparation. Brought the 1970 Jazz and CS 64 Jazz. Pretty satisfied.

Is 500 quid a beginner-level price point?

They look like someone made a Stingray but did an oopsie with the CNC machine.

Well yes except it isn't. I carry my Mustang in the guitar sleeve (which I bought for my Telecaster) and it's a teensy weensy bit tight around the top but otherwise fits just fine.

You might recognize it: you crave for a certain bass, even if you know it's not meant for you. You don't like it, you'll never use it, it doesn't fit in your arsenal or some other reason. But still, you know you want one. I have that with fretted Stingrays. I know I don't use a Stingray in the bands I play in. I've owned a USA Sterling, which I really admired for the build quality and playability. I like their looks. I basically like everything about them, but still I won't buy one. I think. I think I should. But I don't want to. It's weird.

It's a TRB 5IIF with a story.
