[quote name='Beedster' post='380374' date='Jan 14 2009, 05:13 PM']So, for arguments sake, if a 1970 Fender is built entirely from components bought from 20 different sellers on ebay, and all of those parts are 100% verifiable as authentic and original Fender components from 1970, and given that the combination of neck, body and hardware on any one bass was likely a matter of chance at the Fender factory in 1970 (pauses for breath)......, is there an argument to say that the 1970 bitsa Fender in question is, to all but the most anally retentive purist, original? Chris[/quote] for me thats a big no it's not an "original" it's just a bitsa- & as such i wouldn't pay a whole lot for it.

you lucky lucky man. i'd love one of those.

[quote name='Leowasright' post='371671' date='Jan 6 2009, 10:58 AM']The only reason I don't have a Precision is I don't like the size of the neck. I prefer the thin/narrow Jazz neck, especially the 62 Jap reissue neck. I am sloppy and like to damp over the top of the neck with my thumb. Oddly, with guitars I prefer thick baseball bat necks like on Les Pauls, SG specials or 50s type Telecasters. ??[/quote] then of course there is the american deluxe P bass with its halfway house nut width = 1.625" which is sublime & the CIJ '51 P bass has exaxtly the same nut width too.

i've recently got a '51 reissue P bass in butterscotch & i love it to bits. the sound from the stock pickup is monsterous-really powerful & really deep-my band love it's tone too. as for the stock bridge ok it's very simple & not very adjustable but hey it's a '51 reissue & it does the job,i've got my intonation set up pretty damn close so mine's staying stock. it sounds different to my other P basses but in a good way & the tone control makes a fair difference to the sound. the Sting sig' bass should be just the same except for the body contouring. get it bought,you'll love it.

sorry but i'm not impressed at all,mind i'm not a Jaco fan either. somebody once gave me a Jaco cd to listen to & i tried to like it but to me it was just a load of self indulgent sh*te.

bollocks it's a damn bass & rig. where's the tits man

i'm really lucky as our drummer has an electric drum kit for practice only,so i just use my Roland cube 30 & it sounds ace so a bigger Roland would be a good choice. alternately if we practice at Bash studios in Harrogate i use their totally sh*te Carsboro bass bomber & man is it sh*te,but at least it saves me lugging my rig about.

look like a Warwick to me

PMT in Leeds sell them,maybee they can help you.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='357220' date='Dec 17 2008, 07:22 PM']Or if you can run to it a Fender American Deluxe Precision has P pickup in the sweet spot and a double J at the bridge. Expensive new but s/h can be got for £600 or so. I love mine.[/quote] well said i love mine too,the best bass i ever played period. if you can get one of these at a good price do it--you'll never regret it.

nice collection-especially that '75RI Jazzer

nice looking bass--even if it's not a Fender

this guy sounds like a total prick,hope you get your refund. if it was me he'd be getting a good kicking anyway.

i had a jazz with s1 switching & it did beef up the sound but it didn't sound much like a precision to me you need to play them both back to back & decide what you like best. i used to have both jazz & p basses but when gigged back to back i found the jazz sounds very thin compared to a precision & my band agree.mind we only have 1 guitar drummer & me so i need to fill out the sound & a nice thumping precision does just that. but as pointed out above a good precision with the added jazz bridge pick is the best of both worlds.

i'm not a Warwick fan but that is a real nice looking bass(even if it is made from driftwood )--enjoy

beautiful bass you've got there mate.

[quote name='Leowasright' post='355290' date='Dec 15 2008, 09:25 PM']Most of this surely proves Leo got it most right in 1960 with the Jazz. I have thought about Precisions, MM Stingrays, G&Ls, but I always seem to buy another Jazz.[/quote] nowt wrong with a good Jazz but give me a good Precision any day.
