Hi all 👋
First post here so please be nice 😬
Basically, I am looking for a jazz bass style bass finished in nitro for around £850. Ideally with stacked knobs and all that flea sig-like goodness, but any 60s style nitro jazz would be great.
Why nitro? Well, I really like the idea of aging a bass myself as I play it and gig with it - this will ideally be my number 1 for a while, so it having changed as I play it is quite appealing.
The sound I like is like the tone in ‘Charlie’ by rhcp (can you see the theme here) but I realise I can always get closer to that further down the line.
So, what have I looked at so far?
Well:
MJT build kit (will be over budget when electronics are bought and is reliant on scoring an eBay body cheaply)
Limelight (looks awesome but may have to sell my sire which I kinda like)
Reverb etc (there is one lovely burgundy mist one in the uk b it again, out of budget irritatingly)
Flea sig used (possibly out of budget but depends on the used market)
and I’m also looking out on bassbros, bass gallery and stuff.
Anyway, after all that waffle, I would rly appreciate it if I could tap in to the reservoir of knowledge that is Basschat to point me in the right direction or tell me that im just dreaming (which is a possibility)
Thanks people
