Thanks everyone! Nice to know what exactly am I buying, as this has the potential to be my main bass for a long time :D I'll make sure to post some pics as soon as I get it!

Cool, do you have a current photo? I'm interested in how these things age :D I want to believe my soon to be bass is originally white, that has just aged for 30 years and not a refin, but who knows?

So that looks like the real deal, but with the controls changed along the way (hence the non-accurate knobs)? Looking through the internet, I found quite a few old listings for the 62 AVRI with VVT controls - so they were all just changed later and not originally manufactured by Fender?

Yeah, me too - thats why I ordered it! I just want to make sure this is a genuine American made instrument, and learn some history in the process. Thanks for the reply :D

Hello TalkBass! I recently purchased a bass online and should have it in hand next week. However, I'm not entirely sure of the exact model — the seller listed it as an American Vintage Reissue from 1998, and I'd love some help identifying it more precisely. Here's where it gets fuzzy: the...

I don't know man, dont you feel like you are holding him back? Regardless of the songs quality, if the guy has written, worked hard on and perfected his originals, it is perfectly reasonable for him to want to be able to play them at some point. If he has wanted to do this for a couple of YEARS...

Hi! I've decided on buying myself a Sandberg, but I'm not sure which one I should go for - I had my mind set o TT4 passive, but it looks like the TM4 does everything TT4 does and more. Still, I'm not sure if I rly need all that - can you guys sell me on getting the TM4?

Hello! I have a question and I figured this may be the best place on earth to ask it :p Has anyone here tried adding an active preamp to their thunderbird (preferably a Gibson)? I'm considering doing that, for some added clarity and punch, while keeping the signature roar. Is it something worth...

Maybe in a vacuum its not a bad advice (even if "a little" generic), but in regards to the post i wrote it just comes off lazy and condescending, I mean you even said you couldn't be bothered to read the post lol. I was worried I'd get answers mostly like yours (that's why I specifically wrote...

Can you read the last paragraph of my original post (since reading it whole is too much) and tell me your advice isn't a little garbage? Thanks anyway :) Yep that's true, but while going "up" usually adds more tension and urgency, I'm not rly sure how to describe going down. But yeah solid...

Yeah, as I said in that post you missed I already know that. It has potential and I intend to make it good, that's why I asked for actual advice, not cliches ;)

Hi there, so i'm a writing a new song for my band (on bass). I've written the chorus part (which kinda outlines a chord progression) and had this idea to instead of playing it twice, play it once in its original form, and right after that play it a half-tone lower. It sounds pretty cool to me...

Just adding a preamp to a passive jazz bass does sound like an good idea, although not a one I have cosidered :roflmao: will definitely check out John East, and how about a Sadowsky onboard bass preamp? Is it a good option as well?

Hey there, I am looking to get myself an active bass. Since I've been a passive player most of my life, my knowledge on the matter is somewhat limited. The idea is for it to have: - preferably a Jazz Bass style shape, although I guess I could consider different ones - a sound like a "super J"...

Thanks, that helps a lot. One more question: the 1B doesn't have any rhytm patterns, right? Only a looper option for backing track
