The bass that launched a thousand gold-plated hits, the Fender James Jamerson 1962 Precision Bass is a loving tribute to whom many consider, with good reason, the greatest bassist of all time. This striking, '60s-style Precision Bass, directly inspired by Jamerson's own, summons a period-accurate tangible and sonic experience to fall in line with Jamerson's context-defying legacy. Early '60s Motown style drips from this P Bass for an instrument to carry on a lifetime's worth of indispensable bass playing.

According to the likes of legendary bass players like Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, and John Entwistle, James Jamerson doesn't even compare. An icon among icons, James Jamerson's decorated body of work speaks for itself across years of work with timeless Motown hitmakers from Marvin Gaye to Smokey Robinson to Stevie Wonder. Today's James Jamerson Precision Bass recreates the bassist's signature instrument with striking authenticity through Fender flourishes all throughout.

This James Jamerson special begins with an alder solidbody assuming an iconic double-cutaway P Bass form. Decked in Fender's specialized Heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this instrument's gloss coat exhibits a keen age normally found in much older Fender models. Celebrating the distinctly '60s style of this bass, the instrument's gently worn lacquer makes it a true vintage model in the modern day.

This authenticity continues on with a maple neck, also decked in Heirloom gloss, assuming a custom, era-correct James Jamerson 1962 "C" neck profile. A period-accurate "C" differing from your usual Fender "C", this aged, gloss neck connects Jamerson's grip to yours as you traverse the bass's full scale. A slab rosewood fingerboard with twenty Vintage Tall frets across a 7.25" radius compounds on this vintage feel and playability.

All of these tangible features meet with a number of specifications designed for further authenticity and playability. Onboard this instrument, a custom-voiced James Jamerson '62 Precision Bass split single-coil pickup embodies all the thump and smoothness of the bassist's original pickup. This distinctly Motown split-coil drives the entire experience forward for a bass in and out of time. There's plenty more to this Motown trip downtown, however. A Pure Vintage 4-Saddle bridge with threaded steel saddles lands at the instrument's base with period-correct chrome bridge cover and pickup cover for that distinct '60s playing experience.

A bone nut and Pure Vintage Reverse Open-Gear tuning machines land at the Original Precision Bass-shape headstock for smooth stringing. Speaking of strings, this signature model goes the extra mile with La Bella 0760M stainless steel flatwound strings for the full Motown package. The bass travels with an included Fender Vintage-Style Brown hardshell case with an orange interior and a custom certificate of authenticity and commemorative booklet.

All these years later and the sun's all but set on Motown. Luckily enough, everyone knows that's when the party truly starts. You can't hurry love, but you might have to in this case before this James Jamerson special is gone.

Robust pipe & fittings with a beautiful, smooth black finish
Size: side table leg
This set of pipe & fittings for use as low table legs is heavy duty and aesthetically pleasing. Especially when the pieces are handled, the tactile sensation is much nicer than with plumbing steel pipe because this product is beautifully finished smooth. The black pipes are quite smooth as well as the fittings. The pieces are all also pretty robust, though the wall thicknesses are less than in pipe for pressurized water systems. Of course that makes sense as this product does not need to hold fluid pressure. In my view they got the heaviness factor of this product just right; it's not as heavy or robust as black pipe used in natural gas supplies, but still robust and pretty heavy. Assembled, this product is absolutely stiff and unyielding for a solid table that could hold a man's weight easily. The feet utilize a brilliant scheme so that each foot can be independently adjusted for an uneven floor. Thus a level table on an uneven floor is easily accomplished. The feet simply extend the effective leg length by screwing counter-clockwise. To prevent any shifting at the threads adding some pipe compound or teflon tape may be advised. Even masking or duct tape might work as the idea is to just fill any gaps where male threads meet female threads. The four flanges at the tops of the legs provide a wide, solid surface for attaching the table top, with either hidden screws underneath or you could through-bolt a glass table top (provided you have the skill to drill glass!). I think this product would look great with a glass top. Assembly is quick and easy. The hardest part is drilling holes underneath the table top to accept screws. No pipe wrenches are needed as the pieces screw together by hand to an adequate tightness. If any doubt whether they are tightened enough have a strong person with grippy gloves finish. The "X" in the center attaches to the legs with a very clever machine screw system tightened with the included hex wrench. This is presumably because if tightened simply by screwing the fittings, the point of snugness would not likely be where the "T" fittings are exactly vertical. The maker has solved this problem so that you are assured that all legs will be in the perfect vertical position once everything is tight. The setup is also nice and rigid once tightened. This is a huge benefit of steel pipe projects; they are really solid. The black finish is clearly very durable, like a powder coat. It appears that it will provide excellent protection against rust. Coverage is complete; I found no dings or scratches anywhere on any piece. Overall this is a very well-designed product for function and aesthetics. Perfect for a beautifully renovated warehouse condo where an industrial vibe is desired in a rock-solid table that won't shift around. The smoothness of the pipe is top notch. I've used lots of pipe in projects, some of it actual water pipe and some decorative pipe such as this. I've never seen better quality decorative pipe as this maker put in the effort to finish it beautifully smooth. At currently $34.99 I find the price quite reasonable too.

Good DIY Pipe Legs but Powder Coat Quality Lacks
Size: side table leg, Size: side table leg
These industrial style pipe legs make building a DIY end table easy and the kit saves a trip to the hardware store. The fittings go together normally and assembly is simple. Comes individually wrapped. My main issue is the powder coating looks and feels cheap and rubs off easily. The pipes already had marks from touching each other from unboxing. If you do not mind some wear on the finish over time this is a decent purchase. The metal at the hardware store will be thicker and more durable but will cost more. I’d recommend based on ease of having a kit and it being delivered saving me a trip.

Stable, attractive, and easy to turn into a table with your choice of top
Size: side table leg
The X-shape of the table legs - constructed with solid metal flanges, T-joints, X-joints and 1-inch diameter pipes - provides a strong and sturdy base for a wood top. The legs have adjustable feet pads to prevent scratches and ensure stability. Assembly of the legs is relatively simple (the instructions are clear) but you will need your own tools to attach a top. The industrial design is especially well suited to rec room or finished basement use. I am adding a 28" diameter raw edge slab of wood from a recently felled tree as the top and it is very attractive. (Photo unavailable because after I made certain it would work I sent the slab out for drying and finishing.) If you want a custom table and have a particular piece of wood you want to use, these legs are an excellent choice.

Very nice kit: Beware it is NOT heavy duty plumbing pipe though!
Size: side table leg
I want to give this kit a high rating, but I need to address the "truth in advertising" bit since there may be an important disconnect between what you think you are getting and what actually comes in the box. Black plumbing used for shelving or table legs is part of an important niche in interior design. I like the industrial loft look myself and have a variety of glass, steel, and masonry elements in my home. This kit fits that look and provides plenty of "strength" for most domestic uses, like shelves or coffee tables. But they are NOT "industrial pipe" or "maximum durability pipe." Note the phrase "cast iron finish feet," which together with the other claims might lead you to think these are cast plumbing fittings. They are NOT! The feet and flanges feel like electrical conduit fittings, and the pipe sections are likely aluminum. They might be electrical or they might be multi-use, lightweight pipe. While all this might lead you to think that you're getting a truly retro, heavy-duty pipe kit made of black plumbing pipe, you are not. But, does it matter? Depends. I find the lighter pipe's smooth finish a nice "tone-down" from the rough plumbing look. All together, this kit provides plenty of strength for most furniture and the rustic pipe look, but with a nicer, lighter finish. To me that is a plus--this is a very nice kit and costs less that if you'd pieced it together from real plumbing parts (I priced it out to compare), and looks retro but cleaner. I knew what to expect because while I got this kit free on Vine, I had purchased a nearly identical kit from another seller last year. So, I'm giving it 5 stars for what it actually is and for the price, JUST BE AWARE THE NARRATIVE IS MISLEADING. Which is unfortunate because just like some people might want the heavier pipe, I'm betting more would be attracted to the look with a cleaner, lighter feel.
