'66 is dots and binding. There never was a blocks without binding period.I dig the dots & binding look - Fender Japan had a limited edition '66 Jazz Bass reissue when I was living there around 2005 maybe, was very tempted. I think I could get into the blocks & no binding too - is it even that visible that there isn't binding?
Another nice remembrance of Jack: http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news/2014-10-29/jack-bruce-1943-2014Very nice!
RIP Jack. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to his musical legacy. Rock and Roll wouldn't have been the same without him.Yes - to me he changed what the bass guitar was seen as capable of. A huge influence on me - I'm glad I heard about it here at the Outpost.
Played the Rascal at practice last night and it sounded great. The 5 way is a really nice touch. It sounds like a much more expensive bass to my ear. Nothing cheapo about its tone or output. As before, very easy to play and my band mates really like the look and sound of it. Being the short scale addict that I am, I'll be gigging with it for sure. Finally, a keeper! I've turned over a lot of Fenders that didn't play or sound as I expected, but I really am pleased this bass.Glad it's working out! Did you try the "all three" & "neck & bridge" positions? Those were my favorites, though I didn't get to hear them in a band setting.
I bet it sounds great too!
I've been kind of wanting Activators for my Ric since I bought my Alembic Distillate. Easily the best sounding active system I've ever heard. Finally got to play it through my amp at a rehearsal with my new prog rock project. Listened to the recordings and WOW! Wicked tone...Glad you are getting along with the Distillate so well! There's always been a part of me that wanted to put Activators in one of my Rics - the 8-string comes to mind - but I love the stock Ric sound too.
The Fender is looking great Harry!
