Thanks a lot! I took the PG and neck off. Unfortunately, due to unknown causes (I suspect the bit wonky refin) the neck stamp is impossible to read. It does have the name "X. Armenta" on the neck. The pots indicate the 18th week of '71, so does the serial. So I guess it's not a '72.

I am a bit hesitant to take the neck off (not a rational thing, just errrr let's say I'm a bit clumsy), so I want to check the pot codes to date them. Now I know that many Fender pickguards tend to shrink and not fit the bass anymore, but will this one? I believe the celluloid pickguards shrink and the plastics don't, but I'm not sure of which material this is made of. Who can shine a light on it?[/color][/size][/font][/color]

Thanks It's one of the best P's I've ever felt.

Crikey, those Jazzes look AMAAAAAZING

That's gorgeous! Wonder how it sounds. Congrats!

Got my Fender fretless in 2003 and have had it ever since. I did buy my Yamaha in '01 but didn't own it for a few months a couple of years ago. But I got it back. Does that count?

A good preamp or an octaver.

I used one at my graduation concert, on a 5-string with high C in an alternate tuning (can't remember what it was ) to play a James Vincent McMorrow song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtmYzr4pcD0

As I got the T-Rex today and my Wah Board broke because I tried to move it (stupid thing) it now looks like this:

It's amazing.

I have three main rigs, always using my Eich amp. Cover band: [attachment=245275:IMG_0018 1.JPG] Jazz and related: [attachment=245276:IMG_0014 1.JPG] Old school (rock, soul etc): [attachment=245274:IMG_0019 1.JPG]

That's exactly what the sticker looks like

Here's a sloppy demo of what it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXIYKUw9eF8

Ehehehe I know, I was surprised to I just found a couple of stickers. -One says "made in Korea" (so there's a mystery solved) -On the neckplate is "H-80" -And there is a "inspected by" sticker. I'm thinking it might be an old Harmony, I can find guitars with the same neck joint and strap button on the heel of the neck, but I can't find an H-80 bass. That was a Strat type guitar.

It's a .105, probably to big but it was the only E-string I had lying around there.

It didn't fit through the hole in the bridge... I tried to ram it through but that didn't work.

I don't think kits existed in the 70s

[color=#EEEEEE][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [color=#000000]So I work at this secondary school and we have a couple of basses. Some are pretty decent (SX Jazz is amazing for the price) and some are terrible. And then there's this one: I guess it's from the 70's, it's shortscale and it has a laminated body. Really, it consists of layers of wood. But what is it? Hondo? It sounds pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty ok.[/color][/size][/font][/color][color=#EEEEEE][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color]

Now I have been a pro bassist for a few years now but am only just discovering the world of recording things other than myself. I recently recorded the demo for my reggae band (check it out [url=https://soundcloud.com/user-855011445]here[/url]), and a month ago I played a theatre festival here in Holland with a friend of mine. We got quite a few requests for recording the songs that were in the show, so we did I recorded the grand piano, played and recorded all guitar and bass parts ánd almost all backings. Especially the grand piano was a big "first" for me, and I think it worked out pretty okay. Check it out on Spotify [url=https://open.spotify.com/album/0jQ2DXtuYBSdNQVuWHZsIn]here![/url] It's in Dutch, so I guess I can only ask most of you to listen to the bass and guitar sounds On the "Horecalied" you hear my Fender Bass VI, '72 Precision and LAG acoustic guitar. "Mannen Die Drinken" features my Squier Jazzmaster and '72 Precision, and on "Oscar" I used my De Gier Bebop 5 and Squier Jazzmaster. All bass parts recorded through the DI of my Eich T-500 head.

Got this on vinyl last week and I had my amplifier fixed so playing it right now. What an amazing dub record. Love it.

Or get Sander de Gier to build you one

For that price, get a Bass Station. The Minitaur sounds great but I think a huge downside is the fact that you can't see what preset you're working with. And you need a good midi keyboard to work with I have a Moog Sub Phatty which is heavier, sounds better and feels more solid than the Bass Station, but it's a lot more expensive as well

Wow, that looks amazing! Funny to see that shrunken pickguard at the lower horn. My '66 Jazz has exactly the same piece broken off.

I used to have five but I have owned four for the last few years and I only miss some 70's kinda Jazz. Still. Not too much to complain about.
