If you replaced them, you'd probably have a better time. But for £43 for the guitar, a few extra quid on pots isn't the end of the world. Exactly and I have a few 500 pots knocking about Quote

MichaelDean Posted 9 hours ago Author Posted 9 hours ago Well, it turned up just before lunch and I'm very impressed! It's very green. Almost purest green. A slight tweak of the truss rod and it's good to go. I do find the jazz bass shape very comfy. Maybe because my first bass was a jazz. It's reasonably weighty at 4.44kg (9lb 8oz). Neck is a good shape. There's something on there that's rubbing off as I play which is a bit weird, but at least it's coming off. The pickups don't sound bad at all. Did I mention it's very green? For £63, I'm very pleased! 7 Quote
