    Is it ok to quit over text message?

    Real-deal ‘61 Jazz?

    I have a 1962 Jazz. Looks identical to mine from that photo. But I would have to physically examine to know for sure - correct.

    Real-deal ‘61 Jazz?

    Agreed. Same difference from a value perspective, though. Could be a killer project bass, but not for 6k.

    Real-deal ‘61 Jazz?

    Neck profile, plate, tuners all look legit to me (my 62 has identical nut width) - wouldn't be surprised if that decal was replaced. Body...

    Fender Vintera Series

    I’m sure it’s been discussed already, but the new MIM basses are great instruments. But $1000 is a lot of money. I snagged a brand new 2017 MIM...

    The bassist in this band is touring all over the world with a $100 Chinese SX bass

    Pretty cool! I don’t know if I’d go THAT cheap, but probably get a used MIJ bass and maybe an SX or Squier for a backup.

    I'm having trouble seeing dot markers on rosewood fingerboards

    For the side dot markers, I apply tiny dots of white acrylic paint with a very fine brush (white out works, too). Works fantastic and scratches...
