  1. Yes, nothing surprising in that matt finish if your bass is a Custom Shop.

    What is written on your 66 JB Fender CS certificate ?

    Is it a Heavy Relic ? Relic ? Journeyman ?

    I love these lollipops anyway. Matt or shiny. 🙂
     

    For example, some CS 64 Fender Jazz Bass Relic have their reissue Kluson keys with a matt finish. To simulate oxydation over the years. 
     

    Here the proof ! Oxydated 66 Custom Shop lollipops 😉🙂

  2. F-Bass is a brand known all over the world. One of the best luthier work. G.Furnaletto is a Master and a avant-garde creator.

    Alain Caron (as Hellzero previously 
    named) chose F-Bass 35 years ago and show, with his outstanding talent, how splendid these instruments can be.

    Masters (like Etienne M’Bappé, Janek Gwizdala, Michael League..) own and play a F-Bass

    Big shops have often a F-Bass in their stocks.
    For example BN5 or 6 can be easily compared to high end basses (Alembic, Fodera, Ken Smith etc...) and they are cheaper 😉 

    99% of bass players would like to play on a F-Bass if they could afford one. If an F-Bass instrument doesn’t sound, it comes from a bad set up or dead strings. Not from the bass.

    F-basses have a high value on second hand market, that is a sign too. 
     

    When i grow up I will own a F-Bass 🙂:D

    Poor Precision, it hurts me to see such a stupid teenager behavior.

    I agree with johnpaulbass : What the f... ?

    is there someone to give this PB  back its dignity ? And to bring this noble instrument to a luthier who would take care of it

     

    PS It is a 62 American vintage NOT a 63. The headstock logos are differents.

    Here a example of a clone sister : an USA 62 Fender Precision AVRI (American Vintage Re Issue)

     

  4. Few years ago i "discovered" halfrounds or semi-flat rounds.

    Two worlds in one set : you protect your fingerboard but you keep the singing Mwah. I use them on my old fretless JB. I keep flatwounds for my fretted PB.

    d'Addario strings are cheap and excellent but they have coloured balls end :) Others brands offer halfrounds/semi-flats strings, you choose.

    Hope it helps

    Keep the groove
