. . . . I officially proclaim that mr zee, in good standing, is now Combo Club member 130. Hip hip, hooray! . . . . "Bass Guitar Neck and Pancake House." Right now we've got a special you might be interested in: a top-shelf Birdseye Maple neck with a slim taper profile and a side order of flapjacks and bacon for only $219. Syrup extra.
congrats mr zee and thanks for being so patient!
Fearless Leader
Love the pancakes! But I keep getting splinters stuck between my teeth from the maple neck!

Remember what mam used to say? Chew your food properly or you'll............................ .......... ...doh, I've forgot.
I'd like a number please. A Markbass Mini CMD 121P for me. I started out playing bass with a Combo in 1968.

In about a week, or two, I'm going to acquire the Markbass NY121 cab for the Mini CMD 121P. 300 Watts is good @ 8 ohms, but 500 watts is better @ 4 ohms.

gsgbass, welcome to our humbled club. That’s a very nice bass and amp, sir. My first Markbass was also the 121P. A fine experience most definitely.
BTW, your Jazz’s color is quite unique. What is that called? Pick guard is very interesting as well. Neat combination.
Happy to give you member #131. Use it when you need credentials for home buying, purchasing a new car, or reserving a seat on the space shuttle. Glad you’re here!
Thank you Sir for the fine #131!!! It's a Fender Adam Clayton Signature Jazz. Sherwood Green Metallic is its color. The PG is a Fender Black Moto PG. It's nice to be here. I never know what I may use this #131 for.
I was hoping to get the #131. It's a personal thing with the #131. Fantastic.
That was my second acquisition in the Mb world. The New York makes an excellent companion. The two definitely put some sound out there. I’d use the combo for smaller gigs and rehearsals and the two together when bringing down buildings. Enjoy the #131!
I did an outdoor charity gig today in Stuart, FL. The weather wasn't quite as bad(heat/humidity/T-storms)as predicted so I was able to use my "A" rig. Sounded great, got a lotta compliments on the sound. Played a bunch of tunes I'd never played b4. Challenging but fun trying to "remember" bass lines I've only heard-many times.
"A" rig:1967 NR TBird>R200c/R112
"A" rig:1967 NR TBird>R200c/R112
Great looking rig, GP. Is it me or is that T-Bird neck immense? Comparable to a P-bass? I ask because the radius looks pretty flat and the width at the nut looks like you could park your car on it! That is a manly bass to say the least. (No disrespect to the ladies out there)
Well, it's long(34 1/2" scale, 52" oal) but the width at the nut is 1 1/2 ". Not as wide as a P by quite a bit.
Nope, that’s the J’s neck width. I’m gonna guess the thickness of the neck is more than the Jazzer’s, right? Maybe it’s just the camera angle...
Beautiful old bass no matter the neck size. I’ll bet you two feel pretty comfy together. That’s the way it should be.
I've played a J(once). It felt thicker. Even my Jag SS neck feels thicker than the TBird. I started on an EB-3 and became a fan of Gibby/Epi necks.

The Thunderbird might feel like fretting on an aircraft carrier down there at F on the fourth string, because it is an aircraft carrier deck
:: ducks, runs, laughs ::
(wants a Thunderbird anyway)
and the stack of Fenders always looks classy
(but reminds me of a country western stage)

I was an early player on a Gibson also, loved that neck. I'm now very adaptable of course, but that Gibson thing is still kind of a home-base. Want a real Gibby again someday.
Almost done... I know, I'm a violator...
I found the volume of the cabinet too small for the speaker, but I like the amp...
I've added a handle to one end...

In 1969-1970 a Gibson EB-0 here was my first real, first new bass. $350. Buckaroos, without a case. The neck on that from what I remember of it, was at or around the baseball bat Gibson size back then. What a bass that was.
