What would you say are the differences between Dogal and TI's?

Mark has done 51 style p basses.

Both the Boomers and Sunbeams would be very similar to what you're looking for. The flexibility would be down to which gauge you choose, the lower gauge the more flexible.

Where have you been for the past 60 years? Fender have been doing this since CBS.

Is yours standard or reverse P version. I see theres both, the one I played is a reverse P. I've played reverse P basses before, but never a double reverse P, really liked it, especially the pickup nearest the Bridge.

Played a mates '83 BC Rich Eagle last night, made in Japan, lovely koa neck thru construction. Played a dream, but has so many knobs even he didn't know what they all did. Has double dimarzio p pickups, sounds huge. Anyone own or played one, any info about them?

Serial number is '67 according to andy baxter website. Bridge and control plate have been replaced over the years, but still a nice bit of kit. Messaged the seller to inform them of what they have and its value.

Something you don't see everyday... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186990524169?_skw=fender+bass&itmmeta=01JMYXA2P8SEN3GEM7SW9AP9NE&hash=item2b8980f709:g:PUEAAOSwFfhnvc6~&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dO%2BL%2BmE43AdEyLI%2FspZxtVHDtlFJx6A%2FUpJFh8z6sRTuSPCiQxOIACIrSHwxl3cWkzj0plqVwOrge4x%2F7%2BqmWNG2wHqGvI3XMUI7Jq3IYZVOQlREenaC31n2UAVCYm4LFLYFN%2Bivh6ohYBY4zk7Ab%2FoVGkbVqqCRzVmCd4CpmotsNkhm0dmCnBlwdoQhVS9kf%2FZ2TwP6%2FTLrhvRtByyfkB7hDKPU4yUF%2Fb5cqkAJ5z5Q%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7qrqN2nZQ

That's a squier vintage modified, not a classic vibe series. But 2012 would be right for the vintage modified range, made in Indonesia not China.

There's no fiesta red jazz bass, there was only a p bass made in china in 2012 in that colour.

There's a drill bit which is hollow in the middle, which you drill down to the depth of the screw shaft, over the screw, then pull out, and fill the hole with a dowel.

I thought this was about ebay charging buyers to buy stuff in ebay. Online shopping is going crazy 🤪

Cheap basses are hit and miss, some are utter cr&p, and some are pretty decent. For them to be good you'll need to know how to set them up to your liking. My home practice bass is a cheap P, cost a grand sum of £10, after some work setting it up and aligning a few parts, it's now a really nice player, neck feels really nice, cheap pickup sounds pretty good, tuners turn super smooth, hipshots on my other basses don't feel any better. I use it to practice and record with and never misses a beat.

You can remove the rust from the springs by soaking them in white vinegar, it's a very mild acid and will remove the rust, just rinse with water afterwards to balance pH levels. I wouldn't remove the bridge screws yourself. They are simply too old and rusted.

Totally agree. Any tension on those rusty screw heads will result in the tops shearing off and the shaft of the screw left in the body. So the shaft will have to be drilled out, which is best left to a luthier.

The positive here is that the wear on the body matches that of the frets, so definitely genuine.

That's gonna need a refret. Shame.

Clear cache.

Funny you say that. I've seen the prices Rich Tone charge leap up in the past year, primarily used gear, to prices above that on fleabay. Brought from them in the past, but with their increased pricing system, no longer.

Pretty sure it's early/mid 80s. I have a Cimar precision mij from 1984, which has the identical hardware.

See above.
