    I so totally agree. Same goes for refrets. I've had all my 3 vintage Fenders refretted and they're all refins (but they were already refinished when I bought them). If they didn't have new frets, I wouldn't be able to play them properly. I own a vintage Höfner guitar from 1959 that I also am going to have refretted. It's unplayable now.

    Not particularly. A friend of mine had a gorgeous Dakota Red 1966 he bought from Andy's. That was my holy grail. I do have a JMJ that is brilliant so I don't have a need for an old one, but still...a competition would be cool.

    I was eyeing vintage Mustang basses. And then I saw the prices they go for nowadays. Blimey.

    Yeah the neck was incredible. I just didn't get on with the 70s pickup spacing. Otherwise it would still live in my house
  5. BassAgent
    Blimey. However: I thought all 1960 Jazzes had stack knobs?

    The craft of woodworking, of course.

    Oh boy how I love semantic discussions.

    Self-taught, then. He had an education in accounting.

    I stand corrected! Absolutely true.

    Oh sorry reading it back it was formulated a bit too bluntly. Didn't want to make you sound dumb or ignorant

    Leo Fender was not a luthier and he never claimed to be one. He was an engineer and inventor.
  12. BassAgent
    Exactly. Same goes for not crafting your own hardware. Any person who builds a stringed instrument from bare wood but uses existing hardware (e.g. Hipshot or Gotoh) is still a luthier in my book. It's the wood crafting that counts.

    I'm pretty surprised nobody has named this yet: Lakland Skyline 44-64 Vintage. Excellent quality, sounds and looks like a Precision but with a nice, slim neck. I had one for a while and sometimes regret selling it a bit.
  14. BassAgent
    Not too many, only two: First series JV, bought for an absolute bargain (75 euros), sold for a lot more, still regret it. I know the current owner but he won't sell it back to me. The Skarbee bass. Excellent.

    Totally the BongRay, dude. Far out, man. But other than that: looks great and probably sounds the works, too. GLWTS.

    I stand corrected! However: Custom was not (AFAIK) a Dutch brand, right? Also there was Gerrinez: Ibanez (Fujigen) basses imported by Gerritsen from The Hague.
  17. BassAgent
    Yep it's in the control cavity.

    Hah nice! Looking at the body grain I don't think it's the same bass, but André had the habit of building multiple bodies and necks for one bass to match them. There's also one with a coromandel fretboard. Do you know the serial of your old bass?
  19. BassAgent
    Correct. They didn't even put the logo on the TRC some of the time:
  20. BassAgent
    Could be any brand from that era. Kasuga, Ibanez, Custom, Pearl, Aria, Aspen, all the same instruments.
  21. BassAgent
    That's because it's not a "true" Grabber. I've tried to ignore that standpoint and just look at the bass as is.
  22. BassAgent
    I wrote a review on that bass a while back and was very impressed by the quality. Enjoy that great bass!

    Found this playlist last week: 250 hours(!!!) of Trojan music. Lovely.

    Pairs

    BassAgent replied to msb's topic in Gear Gallery

    Okay yes but this is not fair.
  25. BassAgent
    Multiple basses. My 1966 Jazz, my fretless Jazz and my 1971 Precision will never be replaced.
