BassAgent

Olympic White is not on the list, and that's mainly because I already have 2 basses in that colour and there are a CAR and Sonic Blue Jazzmaster on the way for me

In addition to my Epiphone Dot (which is a fantastic guitar for the money) I've ordered a Squier Jazzmaster, mainly for my reggae band but also just for fun Well, actually I've ordered two. I couldn't decide on the colour, so in a few days a Candy Apple Red and a Sonic Blue guitar will be ready for me at the local guitar shop and I can choose I like 'em both equally, but which one do you prefer?

So I did these gigs with an evening of music by Madness & The Specials. I've loved this music for a few years now but it wasn't until these gigs that I've started to love the bass parts. Genius playing by Mark Bedford (Madness) and Horace Panter (The Specials)... So I decided to put a cover together of some of my fav bass parts. I wonder what yours are Bass used is my 1972 Fender Precision. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D72RIHwcIdI"]http://www.youtube....h?v=D72RIHwcIdI[/url]

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1450229384' post='2930840'] I really like that Blade. [/quote] Thanks! So do I. I've had this bass for over 10 years now. I don't use it much, but every time I do I rediscover its awesomeness. One of the best necks I know. I have installed new pickups (Nordstrand) and a new preamp (Aguilar OBP-1) though, which makes the sound a lot better

I currently own a Radial Bassbone (first generation) which is a really good preamp. The DI sounds good, the EQ is fine and the channel switch is a really useful feature. But there are só many options I don't use in the pedal, I'm looking for something different. But which pedal to choose? Aguilar Tonehammer? EBS MicroBass (which has many many knobs as well)? MXR? I don't know... The features I need: -A boost function -A simple EQ -Maybe a subtle overdrive but that's not a must-have for me. Any opinions?

That would make my bass a 1914 Fender...

[quote name='iiipopes' timestamp='1449170703' post='2921316'] No. Here's what the marks mean: "7" is the day, "Jan" is the month, "66" is the year (all when the neck was made), "A" is the 1 1/2 inch nut width, circle-12 is the QC mark [url="http://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/article/demystifying-fender-neck-sizes-based-on-letter-designations.html"]http://www.bestbassg...signations.html[/url] [/quote] I knew about all the other marks, but the "14" is still a mystery to me. Is that QC as well?

[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] So I have this gorgeous and fantastic 1966 Jazz Bass.[/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] I understand everything about that bass, except for one thing: the neck stamp:[/font][/color][color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] [/font][/color] [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] I know the 7 stands for a Jazz Bass neck, Jan 66 explains itself and A is the neck width. But what is that little "14" for? The employee?[/font][/color]

So this is a band I wanted to have for a looooong time. And here it is. The EP is called "Memories of a Long Forgotten Kingdom", check it out on [url="https://open.spotify.com/album/5yFRvzAfy6djZAbgKv892B"]Spotify[/url]! And we've made a video for the single "The Pact": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-e_XIEpYGY

I sold the Road Worn Fender and bought a Lakland Bob Glaub yesterday. It's pretty cool if you ask me.

That would be great! It was Paul's phone BTW

I hope I can make it again this year, it was a blast to be there ánd to be back in London again. I love that city. And last year was pretty darn awesome. I do hope I can get a more decent place to sleep though. The hostel was fine but I was in a room with 6 snoring Japanese guys. So if anyone has a spare bed...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1441538875' post='2859573'] Amazing how due to the different colour schemes, the RW looks bigger. [/quote] Well, what might also "help" is the fact that the neck of the RW is a lot wider than the '72. The '72 has a very small neck. Lovely.

Boy, that is a pretty Sadowsky...

[quote name='BassAgent' timestamp='1433832850' post='2794259'] In theory, these are the same colour. [/quote] And then there were three. Don't have 'em on one photo but here's the third. 1972.

I bought this beauty yesterday. '72, needed a setup but after I gave her one and with fresh Ernie Ball strings, she sounds and plays like a dream. What a bass. Amazing. [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,][/font][/color] So now I have 2 Precisions, Road Worn 50's P and the new '72. [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,][/font][/color]

Nah, that doesn't bother me at all. I do have some other options though, so might be checking those out first.

[color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] I'm looking for a '70s Precision and someone sent me this. Somehow it feels wrong. The tuners don't have a Fender logo, the neck/body connection looks off and I don't think Fender still put a strap button on the back of the headstock in '74... The only non-original part the seller will admit is a refin.
