How did you get your username!?

The magic of ░▒▓█n☭t-entirely-standard-unic☭de█▓▒░

 

[J. Crawford]

I have no idea what that means. I cant stop scrolling over your name.

 

[steamthief]

monchichi, monchichi, oh so soft an cuddly...

blue/red, your user name (?) rules.

How did you get your username!?

Testing...: ████

Ha, seems I got it -I guess it's html for 4 black boxes, and then it shows up in blue because all user names do on TB? And orange when you move your pointer to it, for the same reason.

I picked this up going to PM and pressing the "nohilite" box that popped up... I was curious as well

 

[Basdyret]

Alright, unicode, you say... I don't know anything about programming, but it seems like fun...!

Nice. I'm going to keep an eye out for one when I sell off some other stuff. Is it the short-scale, or the long-scale version (at least, I seem to recall there being a short-scale one)?

I think this one was only ever long scale, there was a more normal looking one in retro-aquamarine that was short-scale.

I got this <100 used, but have seen them all over the place price wise. Wouldn't pay too much, it's basically a toy with a 50-50 chance of sounding perfect or silly.

Had only this for the past 20 years....

Until I added this:

1968 Jazz, now I have 2 basses

Ah, gotcha. Thanks, though. It's given me something to ponder. I need a four banger because the one I have is in rough shape and not really playable.

1968 Jazz

Handsome!

Here's some more pics of my SX which I recently painted. It's all stock, except for the paintjob. Acrylic paint and many spray coats of polyurethane.

I am not a big fan of Fender basses, but that 68 Jazz is amazing.

 

[hypercarrots]

I'd really like one of those. Every time I look at them, they get more and more appealing. Aesthetically, they'd go great with my indie rock/pop band. What's the sound like?

That's really cool! I did something similar a while back but yours looks a lot better. You should do the headstock to match.

 

[cosmicevan]

Cosmice, until you take the Fodera ad off the Classifieds, you no longer having posting privileges. Thats supposed to be my bass someday!

sounds like someone's got a case of the "supposed tas"...

go sell a kidney and buy my bass

I think that something to note on this model is that rosewood bridge piece. The new models got rid of the rosewood strip
in favor of adjustable saddles. Though I do hear that the new saddles are still not easy to get at for adjustment.

And they do come in short scale.

 

[Bass-Teddy]

Here is my Fender American Standard Jazz Bass / Left Handed, with a Warmoth neck. Plus I replaced the knobs to chrome barrel knobs and the pickups are Fender Original 60's Jazz Bass pickup set.

 

[warwick.hoy]

I kind of dig the exposed CNC route guide hole whatever it's called. (The kiddie pool that would otherwise be covered by the pickgaurd.)

 

[Phillie4String]

I only have one bass, but she's the one.

'88 VA precision strung with .50-.105 chromes. bam.
