    FS: SX (Essex) J Neck

    Sorry folks. Life got in the way and I actually forgot about this thread. Here are pics of the neck. Tuners are not included, but I have a set of tuners off of a Squier 60s Classic Vibe J that I could throw in (if I can find them). Neck has not been drilled, either for mounting to a body or...

    Fender Prescision Bass (making the switch)

    I have several Js and one Fender Precision Bass that was made sometime between 1974 and 1976. This quote is absolutely correct -- when I play the Js, nothing, but when I play the Precision, instant chick swarm. So I only play out with the Precision.;) Ok, neither causes a swarm, at least...

    Bassists Who Still Have Their 1st Bass Club!

    In the summer of 1980, I bought a used Fender P bass for $300. It was made sometime between 1974 and 1976, based on the serial number. It's had a few mods over the years (BadAss II, Duncan Quarter-Pounder, metal pickguard), but is now more like it was when I bought it (still has the...

    FS: SX (Essex) J Neck

    I have an SX Jazz bass neck for sale. It is a brand new replacement that I bought for a project but won't use. It is full-length (34" scale). It has the current headstock, no decal on the headstock, the vintage orange finish, and a rosewood fingerboard. Will add pics later. It has the big...

    EWI SVT-13 Tourcase (ampeg svt-cl) : First Impressions.

    The EWI stuff I've bought hasn't been the lowest priced stuff, but I think it's the best value -- pro quality and durability at a reasonable cost. I made the mistake of buying a cheap amp rack once, and it was not worth the cheap price. I think you made the right call, and won't be...

    SOLD FS: Squier Vintage Modified 70s Jazz (fretted)

    I've got local interest, and would prefer to go that route. But if I can't sell it locally, I could probably ship. Jon

    SOLD FS: Squier Vintage Modified 70s Jazz (fretted)

    I have an almost new Squier Vintage Modified 70s Jazz Bass for sale. I bought one back in October. It had a neck problem, so I got this replacement under warranty in May. It has been upgraded with a Gotoh 201 bridge and a Hipshot string tree. I've also shielded the control and pickup cavities...

    Bridge Advice??

    I had a BAII on my mid-70s Fender Precision. I recently replaced it with a Gotoh 203, since I want to get back to a more stock sound/appearance. The 203 is a bent plate bridge, kind of like the stock bridge, just a little heavier. I've used the Gotoh 201 on a Squire 70s Vintage Modified J...

    some help with fret buzz?

    Make sure you read about how to adjust the relief if you don't know. I think there's a sticky in the setup and repair forum with lost of good links to how to's and illustrations of what's involved. It sounds like you need a little more relief, so you'd want to loosen the truss rod a bit...
