You beat me to it! Very lovely indeed.....that neck is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

Also a fair point! I sense they seem to (and probably quite rightly) work on what tend to be iconic basses of their time. So Pre-CBS is a great target, especially as basses of this era are out of most of our financial reaches. I think the ‘newest’ vintage reissue has been a 1975 Jazz but my memory could well have got that wrong!

Oh my…. What a brilliant combination - Fender and Shuker! Does that make it a Fenker or a Shuder? 😀

Great pics and what a fabulous selection of basses! In the foreground of the 6th picture there is a rather tasty looking flamed Jazz headstock… any chance of a pic of the whole bass…please?

Exactly that!!!

Very true! I do TRY to keep mine to ‘Guitar’ due to lack of space. To prove that it doesn’t work, I only have three amplifiers, three empty hard cases, four empty gig bags and twelve new sets of strings!

Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. 😀

Yes, very nice. The Olympic White one also has a matching headstock.

I have just had an email from Fender announcing them, so defo new! They are also doing some weird short scale six strings.......ah.....for gitards....sorry!

Our favourite reference book strikes again!!!

I’m reasonably confident these are new releases.

Thanks for uploading the links @Linus27. I need to get some refresher lessons from my daughters!!

Yes, by original style I was meaning 54. I like the look of it too!

I have just spotted these new releases on the Thomann website (sorry my IT skills have disappeared today, so no link) and they look rather tasty. Available in some nice colours and the Jazz looks great with the period correct lollipop tuners and bound ‘board. I don’t recall seeing an original style Fender P before apart from Custom Shop and Japanese versions. Has anybody played any of this range yet?

A pair of beauties right there. I love my AVRI 58 P and AO 60s Jazz....

I have had mixed experiences with them. Small accessory orders such as strings are generally as they should be, although I spoke to them about a set they had listed but there was no drop down to buy them! The link was never updated despite making them aware of the omission. On the purchase of an ‘immaculate condition’ cab it arrived with a ripped cover. I queried this to be told ‘it’s pre-owned’. People’s descriptions of what is superb / mint / immaculate clearly vary!!

And an absolute steal at that price!

Congratulations! There is something special about a played in bass.....enjoy.

Very nice!

Yep!

I love my PJB Double Four, it is a great little amp and being so tiny, I can even pack it in the car when we go on UK holidays! I like to look after my gear and despite also liking things to match (or be correct), I really couldn’t justify spending the crazy amount asked for by PJB for their Double Four carry bag. So, having checked dimensions decided to take a punt on a Thomann special - or to be exact, a Thomann Speaker Bag Behringer CE500. As you can see from the pictures, it is a great fit and the front pocket easily takes the long power cable and adapter. There is enough room on top of the amp for a chunky 12 foot cable. It is well padded and has a comfortable carry handle plus a shoulder strap. The best bit? The price of course.......£15.50! Thomann stock the PJB bag at £78! Sure the PJB might be an even better fit and stronger but I honestly think at £15.50, you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended. Now, any ideas on a similar solution for my Markbass Minimark?

It also fits your colour requirements - it has black edging on the tan centre!

Yep! My Retro is very comfortable and already has the road worn look, so any extra marks only add character! Says the marketing BS!
