I'll be picking it up next week, good times! (If you get the geeky Stingray player reference there, shame on you! ) " yowser yowser yowser !!!!!!

I have read a similar post to this on a US forum and many posters seemed to be saying avoid the 3 bolt .. But don let me put you off, go with what ticks your boxes -)

I used to have an original 90s mij "bass collection " which had fantastic build quality. That said, there have been several revivals of the Bass Collection name since the Japanese company Nanyo closed around 1996....... I was asked by friend to find a first bass for his daughter . A local music shop had a brand new Bass Collection(Bass Centre) jazz hanging on the wall for quiet a while which was probably due to colour ,a dusky pink metallic... I managed to get it for £170.. Feel and finish was very good and when I briefly plugged it in to my ABM combo I was gutted that it sounded as good as a well known brand of bass I had paid 7x as much for........

Dammit !!! I was going to bid until i noticed the screw missing from one of the tuners !!! That ruins it for me . But it was good of him to point out that something was wrong with this fine example -

Which brings us back to square one -

so without the blocks, what is it ?

I played a 90s long horn the other day im my local shop(twang guitars).. It had closed Schaller type tuners ,2 vol and a tone , and none of the above ...

Thanks for that Ash,, so I am more of an anorak than I realised - Typically, the seller is not a bass player,, so exempt from answering any questions

Just seen this on Gumtree advertised as a American Jazz Bass . I am no fender expert having only owned a Jazz and a precision but I cant think what model this is ..if it is indeed a model... Im thinking 62-74ri, long horn deluxe standard usa jazz- ..... anyone shed any light? Its a 1992 . 22 frets Has a long horn? Block inlays (no bindings) Headstock truss access Skunk stripe Has 60s RI style pu to bridge earth Vintage Open tuners 4 pot control plate with dome knobs Bottom mounted jack Active circuit Ash or Alder Clear or stripped body? Only 8 pick guard screws,,,i just looked,my jazz has 11 excluding the pu cover ! Also just noticed a Micro tilt hole..

Ok this beats everything and anything i have ever seen .. This kid is the groove ! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M72xJDS8ZrM[/media] Make sure you are sitting down when he does his solo at around 2 mins ..... This made me realise why i should stick to drums......

Because you need to turn it clockwise to flatten out the neck ..

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1369408675' post='2088958'] out of interest, what would be the issue with just removing the shims and turning the truss rod counter clockwise to remove the overly concave neck? i'm not an expert at these things. [/quote]
