    Owl, could I have a number please? Crumby photo, but it's my B200 (behind the bush).

    The Acoustic Club

    Well I really wanted a B20 as a practice amp to keep at the house, and had planned on ordering one soon since they went from merely affordable to stupid cheap. I've owned a B200 since July 2009 and love it. But alas, looks like wilfred (post 715) may have gotten the last one. MF, GC, etc...

    Double Bass Country Bass Walk

    +1 on BuffaloBill's post. Here's another good example of a shuffle and what he's talking about:

    Squier TEB 101B Humbucking Pickup

    I just found this page after doing a fairly quick search on "TEB 101B": http://www.darrenriley.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=2034 I've never heard of this place, but he looks to have a lot of Fender parts. Some more searching or phone calls to shops that deal in Fender may yield a few...

    Just a tad fret noise...

    +1 What Jimmy says. In fact, I just got to noticing last night the all the fret noise my J was making with a set of new nickel roundwounds, but I was by myself with the amp turned way down. Cranked it up a bit and it was back to what I'm used to hearing - beautiful. Very few folks besides...

    The Christian Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 8

    Um, well how about David Crowder "O Praise Him (All This For A King)", it speaks of collective praise: Turn your ear To heaven and hear The noise inside The sound of angels’ awe The sound of angels’ songs And all this for a King We could join and sing All to Christ the King Another...

    The Christian Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 8

    Yep, I'm sure you speak truth here. The fact that I've been playing only 4-string J's for 30+ years has absolutely nothing to do with it. ;) Believe me, I've been tempted to snag a 5 many times, I'd love the ability to go below E without having to re-tune or flip a lever. The orchestra we...

    The Christian Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 8

    I love my 4-strings - in fact, they're about the only way I'm able to play. The necks on my 4-string J bass are about as fat as I can wrap my stubby little fingers around. It's like having 4 thumbs and a nub. The fact that I can play a bass at all proves, though, that: 1. Miracles still...

    The Christian Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 8

    Good evening folks, finally subscribed to this thread. Lots of great reading here. I'm a lurker by nature - it's all good cuz I'm too wordy when I do post. I'm a second string bassist at Calvary Chapel in San Antonio, do younger kids ministries once or twice weekly and sub on Sunday services...

    Factory Precision neck on a Jazz bass??

    My B.S.-ometer would have spiked when I heard that. Collector's item - come on! :eyebrow: This would be my guess, or at least something similar.

    Fender Jaguar

    I own a '73 Jazz I bought new, to me it was perfect and I never wanted another bass... until I heard about the Jag. Picked one up a few months ago, I really love it. It's not perfect, but it's well built, plays a lot like my '73, I personally have no problem making it sound like a J. Just...
