That bass looks fantastic! Any more details?

Hah, it's meant for the finish of a Tour de France stage

Next Saturday, the Tour de France will start in my hometown here in Holland. It seemed to me that was a good reason to pick up one of the tunes for the special radio show broadcast by the national radio station.

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1435573128' post='2810049'] Congratulations Nice lightweight rig with a great sound. BTW, give me a shout if you decide to sell your AG500SC, allways wanted to try one of those, [/quote] Thanks! But the Aggie had to go to afford this set, so it already has a new owner...

...but it's not a 212 It's a SuperCab. 10", 12" and three tweeters.

[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Here's the new rig, couple of basses missing of course [/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color]

[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Thursday, I said goodbye to my trusty Aguilar rig. It was a hard thing to do, but there's no drama.[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] Because, from now on, I'm an official artist for the German amp brand [url="http://www.tecamp.de/"]TecAmp[/url]! Great guys and I love the sound of their stuff. I'll be using the Puma 500 amp, SuperCab and XS112 cabinets. I'm so super excited about this![/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color]

AKG D112 for bass, you don't see that very often.

This was only €80. I call that cheap.

[quote name='bgmttt' timestamp='1423138445' post='2681202'] 1961 Precision [/quote] I want this. Just curious: early '66 really really really doesn't count as sort of Pre-CBS transition, right?

I'll second what Gary said. Crikey.

I still miss that bass. It was so perfect...

I've been going through quite some Precisions, even had (and sold) my ultimate... The first one was this: Yamaha BB300. Pretty darn good bass. The tuners were a bit wonky but otherwise it was pretty decent. However, it got replaced by: Squier Vintage Modified Precision. I put CTS pots, a Fender Original pickup, a Gotoh 201 bridge and D'Addario flats on it and there it was: motown machine. Very, very good bass. I rarely used it though, so I sold it. And then there was the ultimate. A Squier JV Precision from '82, mint condition, all original that I got for...wait for it...€75. With an amp. And a stand. And a cable. And a strap. It was fantastic. Everything about it. Except I didn't use it. Silly me, I sold it (for a lot more than I bought it for)... A while after that, I got this because it was véry cheap. Yamaha BB400S fretless. I was great, and I loved it, but it couldn't quite match my Fender fretless. So I sold the Yammie. And then it took me a while to get another Precision. And when I got one, it was this: Squier Classic Vibe 50's Precision. It wasn't really my thing. I just couldn't get the bass going in a band. SO I sold it. And now, finally, I got this: Fender Road Worn P. I love this bass. It's almost as good as the JV.

I think I'll take the control plate off before the pickguard But were there other colours Jazzes came in in those days with a tort PG?

I'm a bit afraid to take the pickguard off, because I heard some scary stories of pickguards not fitting back on the bass because of shrinking celluloid

Our basses might have been twins at first I don't think Fender made a white Jazz without matching headstock at the time.

Yes, it's a Jan 1966 Jazz. Refin and two replaced screws, otherwise original. My fav bass of all time.

Let's go into Stig-mode: "Some say he recently discovered one of his basses had a grandson..." "...and that he always has exactly one Jazz Bass too few." Blimey, that's a terrible photo. Sorry 'bout that.

In theory, these are the same colour.

Thanks!

I have a new band called [url="http://www.theodysseymusic.com"]The Odyssey[/url], and we've released our first single today. It's called "The Pact". [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In1f8H471eg[/media] [font=helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif][color=#3b5998]G[/color][/font]ear used: Fender Road Worn Precision, 70's Ampeg SVT + 8*10, Aguilar AG500 + 2 DB112s, custom built bass overdrive.

That is possibly the most perfect rig I have ever seen.

I've met Ferdinand before and he's a very nice guy, and I know some people who've ordered Rikkers basses and he's very open to your opinion and taste.

Enjoy! Graham [/quote] Cool shots, I was also very impressed by the Rikkers basses. I knew Ferdinand is a good luthier, but thís good? Wow.
