Can any of you guys say whether you think this is a fake neck please ? I'm not too clued up on Fenders Marketplace – Fender Jazz Bass Neck | Facebook

Always like binding on necks, wish mine had it :)

Dreaming of one of these but they're a bit pricey here in Oz :(

I am the proud owner of 3 Cort Basses. C4, C5 & C6 they are very good basses, Great to play with great woods, necks and features...I love the Mark Bass eq. Seem like incredible value to me. I've owned many brands over the years. Regarding logo's, I've never bothered about names, I just buy what...

My JD is heavy, 5kg, I think that's 11lb. Weirdly I also play Hofner violin. Which is probably the lightest bass out there. Weight is a big issue these days. I also have a Tokai Jazz which is 4kg. Thats about the heaviest I'd buy nowadays. Age is a big factor in this surely.

Red tort would look fab on that.

Thanks for this. I don't suppose you still have any pics of the job ?

Nice mate.. Can you let me know the weight of this model please ?

I've considered buying one of those, the original guy in The Hollies played one. I just can't imagine playing bass with a pick which due to string spacing seems a must. Anyway, back on topic, I always thought if 4 was good enough for PC and Jaco, its more than good enough for me. ;)

I've always loved Tony Reeves work on John Mayalls album, Bare Wires. I like how he plays Blues on there with a Jazz feel. Him and Jon Hiseman make an awesome rhythm section. I'm surprised Mayall didn't use them more. There's even a bass solo on the album. On the track Look in the Mirror.

Last pub gig before covid 19 The Bass isnt red its tobacco SB. The photographer somehow changed colours.

Our window cleaner, 52 floors up, a job I could never do no matter how much pay.

Heavy Weather, Weather Report Kind of Blue, Miles Davis Bare Wires, John Mayall Blues breakers.

I put a Bass together using various bits I had a decal made (waterslide) that said Moss Bass Company. just liked the name

LOL (I dig the way you write) Yes apologies, I shouldve looked for other threads on this. Dear Mods, please merge if you think that is the way to go.,

Yes, I agree with you. I just wanted to get Bass players perception of this, as I say I dont believe it makes any difference to the sound. If it did why dont Fender, Rickenbacker, Ibanez and Yamaha etc oil their Basses ?

Ive read many times that this lacquer is better than that lacquer (like Nitro/Poly), and Ive read that paint can alter the sound of your Bass. So shouldnt it follow that Warwick Basses should sound better than Fender basses which are all covered in paint and lacquer ? Warwick advertise there...

No chance I would even take that home.

Worlds worst back yard

Haha Thanks mate I will :)

I might consider this ^ Jazz seems a bit daunting though, and dont you have to sight read? Thanks everyone for your replies

After 40 years of bands Ive decided to give it away finally. I must explain the main reason for this, I just hate practising My last few bands have been pensioner rock cover bands, and my latest called it a day at Christmas, basically the vocalist and guitarist had a big row. We didnt practise...

Or one of those stands like Steve Howe uses

Hofner Violin Bass ? (without pickguard)

Excellent, well done, you have seen the light..........:) My favourite bassline of his is on George's Something, very creative and yes, lovely. Also I was reading about Maxwells Silver Hammer, Ive always been fascinated by the sound of the Bass on that song, turns out Paul was trying to make...

I guess my favourite non famous Bass player would be Tony Reeves who played in John Mayalls Bluesbreakers on the Bare Wires album. I heard this track in about 1970 and wanted to play Bass, loved his solo. Although Jon Hisemans brilliant drumming made me want to play drums, alas no money or space...

My first Bass 47 years ago was a Hagstrom Les Paul shape short scale Bass, hollow body, for the life of me I cant remember what happened to it, I think I swapped it for a 68 Hofner

imo its because lots of famous players play them, so they are regarded as cool and 'must have' when your a young man/woman, they are also well made and because of their 'cool' the price remains when second hand. I prefer my SR800 Japanese Ibanez to all the Fenders I have owned but its not...

Stop playing, stare at him, then as he walks off stage, all burst out laughing, then ask the audience down the mike "does anyone know who this bloke is" ?

I dont know about in the US but Ive used ebay here in Oz to buy a couple of guitars in the past that have had similar issues to this, I opened a dispute with ebay and the seller has to pay return shipping, both times the seller argued it but when I upgraded it to a dispute ebay made them cover...

Yeah he does seem to have that touch of his Father

without trawling through 6 pages of messages... Fender have done it with the Mark Hoppus sig Bass

With every band or musician Ive liked its always been one 'sound' that has resonated with me I first hear 'A Remark You Made' in the early 80's and immediately went out and bought the album Ive been kind of mesmerised by it ever since. A kind of sad ethereal bass line, beautiful.

Im not that keen on Squiers, but I do like my SDGR 800 Ibanez, Its a MIJ one so its great quality, only $250 used and a bit roadworn, so it counts as cheap, everything about it is excellent, its done loads of gigs.....you dont have to spend big

Plays with a pick so cant be that good :D

Hi to the OP Its a great little amp, every gig we do here in Oz nowadays we are asked to turn down due to A) Neighbour complaints (venues can lose their license if too many complaints) and B) people want to talk (especially the bar staff), I use a similar amp, the Ashdown MiBass 250 watt with a...

I wouldnt buy it....

I think its another bow to your quiver Jaco and myself recommend it.
