I agree with BluesBear. Whatever Fender says these were made 84-87, it is obvious they were producing it along with a Power model up till early 90's. Thats what they answered at Fender. lowphatbass That's a nice red Contemporary you've got here!! I bet it sounds totally the same as JBS.

can't tell for sure, but looks like 89-90 according to Fender answer for my inquiery.

Congrats! Different bridge is because of a later model, your serial probably starts E9

I tried out 50's bass a while ago at a store and it sounded awesome, pretty much similar to am std. I would take a close look at a quality of electronics though. There was an incident where we were opening for a major italian rock band and their bassist had a new fiesta red classic 50's. The...

how is that happening? now about the tone. I had 4x6L6 +2xEL34. I switched EL34 to a pair of JJ KT88 matched pair (confirmed by JJ developers to be a good substitute)and it absolutely changed the tone to more balanced for my bass. i got less brightness and tighter lows. dynamics increased as...

i bought this beast a while ago. :hyper:

halloween private party gig

I got UL2 410 and i used to use LMII with it. like it was said before, sounds great especially in a midrange, didn't have 212 experience, but heard 112, for me its better off with 10's, a little bit more on attack than 12 at equal watting 100W. i guess its more of a philosophy of your own sounding.

Demeter HBP, now kicking on any rig

right, i got one cab for now so use one channel only. i had it setup at open air venue for my friend's band and it sounded deep and VERY loud at half volume.

i carry my Epifani UL2 410 with no prob, pretty light, not sure about exact weight.

lot of threads for bass 400 and +, but what about this? Two channels, tons of tube power. i got demeter hbp in pre. 4x6l6 + 2xKT88 for now. Anyone uses strategy now? or ever used?

classic simplicity for me - passive 4 string and tube amplification. no more active basses after few accidents while giggin'.

I dont know if anyone had mentioned but on a later jbs models you cant go with badass bass II. its only got 4 holes instead of older generic bridge series which have 5. Also about the manufacturing years, first specials aka p-j(555) basses were produced with JV serial on neck plate, then they...

I modded my 92 p by switching the pickups to duncan spb 3 and generic bridge to a high mass.
