Get the faded and relic it naturally by playing it! Noticed McCartney's 'bass player' uses an SG.

Look like stunning big beasts too! Derived I know but bet they play great! Would love one.

The tone pot on my Fender Jazz sits proud and means that the previous owner has added a nut to let it 'sit right.' I don't like it, so I bought 3 CTC pots to upgrade but then found there were already 3 like that in it! (I'm a fool!) When we went to put the tone pot in though, it still has a 'too long' shaft and the shaft is notched. Can someone please link me to the exact tone pot that should be used in a Fender Jazz MIM 2008?

Smart as though...

I've had a shot of a Ken Taylor in natural with the maple neck and it was beautiful. Felt like a merc beside a chevvy...

Not as good as this deal: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79377"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79377[/url]

Tell the singer that in his case, his face needs an aggressive sound!

OR

Belter!

Now I know his avatar is his slippers, I think Rock God might be pushing it! Still - £20 for a set up on my Jazz bass seemed too good to be true. And it was, it was better than that. He went well beyond what a normal set up should be and even pointed out another wee flaw along with how to repair it myself cheaply. The bass is playing as good as my school's Westfield now (in-joke, see other threads) and I am delighted. And then, I get a shot of his James Tyler bass, Jackson bass, Valentine's Encore bass, Sei bass and some other thing like the Forth Road bridge. Finally, he offers to help my school set up all their guitars for a price I cannot share! Top man - I wish him well. Highest recommendation from me.

See my thread on the Westfield.....beautiful maple neck!

My school music teacher has been cracking up quite rightly as her boss in the offices has recently bought and sent to her: [list] [*]2 crap westfiel strats [*]4 crap westfield teles [*]Crap drum kit with 5 tuning pegs that don't tune. [*]And today...... [/list] She shouts me down - 'Come and see what they've sent now!' 2 purple metallic Wesfield P-basses! Tried untunable guitars and agreed that at about £100 a crack, it would have been better buying 2 or 3 Sqiuers or Epiphones. Grabbed the bass, ran my hands along the underside and felt the frets sticking out a bit like mini-razors. Grabbed the maple neck....hhmh....strangely nice. Bridge - sturdy enough. Action and set up - good. Twanged it acoustically - 'this feels good!' Plugged it in and it was magic! Honest. Really nice and better than most I've played recently! Utterly shocked and forgot to try the other bass to see if it was a one-off. Don't hit me - I'm in shock!

Can I suggest this thread is pointless without some low down bassporn pics of the actual planks? Esp. the ESP!
