Free shipping and pickup from Oamaru - feels scammy. Recent positive feedback though, hard to know.StrummersOfThunder wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 12:45 pm https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace ... 4450663370
What to make of this...
Obv not original case but also I cant find any evidence of a 1978 p bass having a gold anodized guard so Im picking this is non original also.

My 75 Greco Jazz has frettboard radius. Not much but it feels lovely to play.crowbgood1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 4:43 pmI'm sure it does.

My pups were really microphonic so I had them waxed and made a healthy change.
The neck radius is good, the frets are very vintage
Mine is apparently built in 1975.

Difference is an accident of birth and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict

Had negotiated to grab a cab and his looper at a good price but then someone banged a bid on both cabs

100w work well enough? That was always my trepidation with V4B's

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
It was more than enough, however I did bring my Bassman 500 along as a backup in case it was falling short. I swapped over to the Bassman for one set at a gig. Two quite different amp heads, although the overdrive channel on the Bassman can get quite close with a bit of gain. A lot of favourable comments at the gigs. I was using my old P Bass and my Ricky 4001, both sounded great
A few different gigs this next weekend so I'll be doing the same testing again.
