By a country mile my ACG bitsa jazz type bass. Was originally active but now vol/tone/4-way pickup switch. Cost less than £1k and is the dog's danglies.

How did they get away with the body shape without being assaulted by His High Rickenbackeriness?

Is this a real thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/cort-bass-guitar/114412367360?hash=item1aa3822e00%3Ag%3AWWQAAOSwudpfPpbD&LH_ItemCondition=3000

Lovely looking bass. Glad you have hopefully found The One.

Not floating my boat tbh, sorry.

Whoa, respect. I shy away from vigorous tapping of either foot on health and safety grounds. I will occasionally rythmically raise and lower my big toe during particularly up-tempo passages but only with supervision and having had the appropriate training.

You're going to get loads of different views. I've experimented a little and my preference so far have been the Wizard '84s. Not sure you can still get these so that was massively unhelpful, sorry about that. Also a fan of EMGs but I've only had the active variety.

I have one where I can play.

Just sold a bass to Dave. What a gent, he travelled down crossing international borders to collect the bass. Had the chance for a quick chat which was great as I always enjoy meeting BCers. Trade in full confidence folks. Dave is one of the good guys and the reason this place is what it is.

Does that make your eyes water?

Possibly good for metal too.

I highly recommend that you should . Mine due to be finished in a week or two all being well.... Pic just in case it helps

Bump

For me very positive. Learned the violin to a pretty decent standard and played in orchestras, quartets etc. Even toured with the national schools orchestra so learned a fair amount about music. Quartet stuff particularly useful for later playing in bands.

Just completed a trade with Karl. As always a complete gent and went out of his way to accomodate ref. timings to meet up and exchange. Top banana, 'nuf said.

Not at all, and duly noted

I think it's more about the spec and the parts. Still MIJ but to USA specifications and, I think, with US p/ups.

Interesting ref. the weights. Mine have been pretty uniform between 9.0lbs and 9.3lbs. Pretty sure all Alder but as you can see they were painted so hard to be sure.

I think the grounding strip is particular to the '62 reissue basses but not 100% on that. Over the years I've had three Japanese jazzes and all have been excellent. Currently (selfishly) playing a couple of Japan Geddy Lee jazzes both excellent but at some point will need to let one go. These are probably my favourite of the various offerings, one is CIJ and one MIJ. From different manufacturers in Japan I beleive but you'd be hard pressed to spot a difference bewteen them. A couple of 62RIs ...and a 65RI One of the Geddy Lee basses
