you sound pretty normal to me. i've been playing for 30 years now & have owned all sorts of basses--as in lost count--& i'm now back on Fenders for the rest of my life,although for me it's P basses. there's something about Fenders thats just right for us old farts i reckon.

to cut a long story short i've had a pretty serious warranty problem with my Jazz bass & Fender were a bunch of cu*ts about it,but my local shop has fought my corner & sorted a replacment bass. i didn't want another jazz so he ordered me a '51 reissue P bass in butterscotch blonde.he's just phoned me to say it's landed & looks really cool,so i'm off to collect it during my lunchbreak can't wait to get it home & plug it in. when i've finnished masturba**** ,er i mean playing it i'll try to post some photo's. so three cheers for Phil at Rock Steady Music in Harrogate,he's a top bloke.

good effort lass,damn nice looking bass too. wouldn't mind twanging your g-string myself buying a new bass is a great feeling eh. last time i went into PMT in Leeds my budget was £0.00 but i still managed to spend £950.00 on a new bass--just ace

[quote name='Allen_Baker' post='344222' date='Dec 3 2008, 05:15 PM']whats the consensus on this then? Allen[/quote] you are a twat

if/when you drill it screw it to a chunky piece of wood first,makes it easy to hold onto & stops it flying about. unless you're post & can afford a pillar drill of course.

[quote name='Rusty Shackleford' post='348674' date='Dec 8 2008, 04:50 PM']if you'r gonna be stuck for a lift give me a shout. i may not have a car by then (damn credit crunch) but we do live next to a train station and (i assume its) the manhattan is net to a trian station! just dont try lug your ampeg on it![/quote] cheers Will you're a star. the ampeg's got wheels,if we push it there it's down hill on the way home

[quote name='bassbloke' post='347476' date='Dec 6 2008, 08:59 PM']I wouldn't really describe the double jazz pickup as growly. It's a lot more refined and, well,gentle than a Musicman pickup. It adds a real 'ping' to the sound which can work well. I actually prefer the sound of the P pickup on it's own. I definitely think the stock preamp needs to go though. Shame about the crappy exchange rate.[/quote] i really like the stock preamp,tried it through my ampeg on friday & it sounds ace.i tend to set the pup pan slightly toward the P pickup & just use the bridge pup to add a little punch. love it.

[quote name='Rayman' post='344320' date='Dec 3 2008, 05:37 PM']I had one of these, it was a great bass, superb range of tones from it, and excellent build quality too. I found the string tension a bit high for me strung through the body, so I reverted back to strung through the bridge and found it more comfortable, but then I like some flex in the strings, some don't. Any road up, top quality bass that, enjoy.[/quote] thanks mate i'm loving it so far,i reckon it's the best bass i've ever owned. infact it feels as though it's been custom made just for me,& that's got to be a good thing.

nice one i'll try to get to this one,if i can get the missus to give me a lift up there as i don't have a car of my own. might take my ampeg rig & a fender or three.

just sold a nice P bass to Richard,top bloke to deal with & a real nice guy too. cheers

[quote name='Mr Fudge' post='344178' date='Dec 3 2008, 04:42 PM']Is it neck on body (wood to wood) and then the 4 screws and plate. No other washers, bolts, pins etc... If have never done this before and I dont really want to take of a neck of one of my jazz's just to satisfy my curiosity. Im fitting a jazz neck to a p body if anyone has anything else to add. cheers.[/quote] spot on mate,it's a doddle,just slap it on & don't worry about it. don't go too mental when you tighten the screws up though,just do 'em nice & firm.
