Yes it's very pretty but could be better - without the Jazz Pup & Jazz neck - it'd be beautiful

Lovely - if only we could go back there & buy a truck load! Thanks for sharing

[quote name='alanbass1' post='1086920' date='Jan 12 2011, 05:01 PM']That's a rediculous price, especially as Coda are charging a few quid more for their Custom Shop 58 and 59 P Basses[/quote] That [url="http://www.coda-music.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_247&products_id=8011"]Custom Shop '58[/url] is awesome for that money

GAK have some good deals [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-american-vintage-62-precision-bass-3-colour-sunburst/15810"]How much?[/url]

[quote name='Max Normal' post='1084368' date='Jan 10 2011, 03:40 PM']Ok, thanks guys. New question then: Can anybody tell me using the distance from the 20th fret centre to the centre of the pickup?[/quote] Answer = 216mm on my Frank Bello sig, P/J configuration. Edit: 8 1/2" in old money

Thanks again guys for above - I now need to find a large portion of listening time! Cheerz, John

Wow! Many thanks to y'all for so many suggestions I know it's a BIG question but there's some good ideas, familiar names & indeed a few I've not heard of there to get me listening. Cheerz, John

I play by ear, I hear a tune I like & generally speaking have a bass line going before 1/2 way through, not bragging - that's just how I play - there's a hell of a lot I can't do - that's for sure. My lady loves me playing, often when I ask her what should I play, she suggests a tune/song & we'll get it on youtube then take it from there. Just lately I've been saying a lot "that's a boring bass line, nothing to keep me interested", so then she suggested I should play more jazz perhaps! Now I've always sat on the side with jazz, never got into at all but nothing against, so now I'm thinking - BUT where to start? I mean artists to investigate rather than individual tracks, but hey - Polite suggestions for easy listening please & ta. Cheerz, John

[quote name='chilievans' post='1082231' date='Jan 8 2011, 03:50 PM']AM i right in thinking that if I change my tone pot from 250 ohms to a lesser or greater ohms it will result in a change of sound from my bass?[/quote] I think you mean 250 Kohms, that K is a bit important like & it depends on your wiring but in a word 'NotaLot'

I could listen to his playing (for a while) if he wasn't wearing that stupid cap & if he turned that crap backing 'music' off

Go for it! I've got better gear now than I hever had - even dreamt of in my younger days, treat yourself while you can, it adds to the pleasure of playing & keeps the interest. As said above it's a good idea to hang onto a workhorse, you never know what might come along when least expected. Cheerz, John

Oscar bought my Trace Eliott combo, great communication, instant payment = perfect transaction & a real pleasure to deal with. I hope the boxer does you good service, it's a great little amp. Cheerz, John.

Yeah I saw that earlier on the Fender site, didn't realise it was that new My first thoughts were - why a split pickup & why the big head? Then I thought no, that make's it a bit different different so why not! If I knew - "Every P Bass built in 2011 will be outfitted with the anniversary neck plate as well" I might have waited to buy my '57 American Vintage Never mind, another one on the wish list Cheerz, John
