Oh man, seeing this makes me miss my old Celinder again. Such amazing instruments. I hope I can buy one again.
-
So I've been having an old set (approx 10 years old) of Labella flat wounds on my '71 which have served me pretty well over the years, but recently I've found the E-string to sound way more dusty than all the other strings. A, D and G are fine, E sounds like it's lost all life. Is this a known thing for LaBella? I really want to replace the strings, thinking about getting a new set of LaBellas but if this is the case with the next set too... Might switch to Thomastik.

Oohhhh that is a KILLER colour. Blimey.
-
They are absolutely fab and I've played...four JMJs so far and this one is the best, probably. Ordered it as a B-stock from Thomann and haven't been let down by it. Funny story: I asked Thomann about what B-stock meant in this case; is it technically ok, no wood damage or anything. So Thomann said: "it might have a scratch here and there". Well, it's supposed to have that, so...

Honestly the best Mustang I've ever played.
-
This BB is the second bass I ever had and I still really really like it. That neck is...amazing. Sounds great too.
-
My Sterling is pretty black.
-
Pretty happy with these two amazing basses.
-
Finally got some good light in my house
-
Pretty satisfied with these two gems. Both heavily modded and they sound as incredible as they look. Love these two basses. I've owned quite a few way more expensive fretlesses but especially the Jazz beats them all.
-
Uh oh. I tried a friend's Walrus Julia. Shouldn't have done that. Should not have done that.
-
So yeah I was actually convinced after playing that red Sterling for five minutes so now I have this.
-
Finally had the opportunity to take some photos in proper daylight. Love that birdseye on the neck.
-
You rang?
-
Honestly it's a very long time since I last played a 4-string Stingray so I can't really compare, except with the Status neck on my fretless. But I have no idea how that Status neck compares to a Ray😅
-
How 'bout a video?
-
And also important to note: *the* Jamerson bass, the Funk Machine, was probably not a '62 Precision but way more likely a '65 or '66. This topic on Talkbass is a very interesting one to read.
-
There's a screw missing but otherwise it looks legit. But those blocks...even for Fender in the 60's, that's a strange feature. As @wateroftyne mentioned: it could be a custom order. But somehow that feels weird too.
-
That's not weird: my '66 Jazz also has lollipops and they look practically new too. I've seen multiple Fenders with lollipops that are very shiny.
-
Hopefully I'm going to see this giant in three weeks.
-
Just added a black bass to the collection, the only black one I have at the moment:
-

This is how the current stable is positioned.

I put the original knobs back on (much better): Here it is with its newer and cheaper cousin:
-
I still have the original knobs I'm going to put them back on today, didn't have time yet.
