gamefacebass · #1 08-10-2010, 06:35 AM

I went on a tear and acquired a handful of jazz basses looking for the right fit. Consequently, I'm keeping two and letting these threee go to better homes. All three are terriffic instruments. I have plenty of pics, just pm your email address and I'll get them to you.

~~Fender Active 24: $~~475~~ $450 Shipped~~ SOLD
Super surprised as the quality of this bass; impressive MIK construction. 9lbs
9.5 of 10 condition. Really nice finish all around.
seymour duncan pickups
has stickers for fretboard blocks. Looks neat, doesn't get in the way at all. I thought I take them off but I think it looks good. I'll pull them off if you wish.
Original thread: Fender Jazz 24, active, sunburst, Duncans, MINT!

Fender Custom Shop Jazz IV: ~~$1850~~ $1,750 shipped
Top of the line construction.
Noiseless pickups are among the best.
Best Fender I've ever seen. Flawless construction. great setup. 8.5 lbs.

2009 G&L JB, Fullerton Red: ~~$1,100~~ $1025 shipped
As new, all candy included with the G&G case
10 lbs.
Great, great bass. More and more impressed with G&L construction with each one that moves through my hands. Finish is remarkable and shows zero wear. This passes as direct from the factory new.

what is the deal with the G&L Jazz? I have never tried one, but I am a huge G&L fan. any significant differences from an American Standard?

Thanks!

i remember looking into these basses a while back. Great construction- 6 bolts on the back better quality control. - amazing necks on all g&l basses-
biggest downfall - imo the headstock!

The G&L jazz basses are utterly amazing! IMO. I have had several american standard Fenders and while most all were good basses, there were only a couple that felt and sounded truly "great." my G&L however, felt that way right out of the box and the others I have seen and played are equally as impressive. The quality control is amazing as well.

I'm a jazz bass guy, but loved the quality of an Ernie Ball Music Man, just wasn't my sound though. The G&L is on par with EBMM but has that single coil jazz sound that I love.

The G&L JB that is for sale only has a 4 bolt neck. However I agree that it is much more secure than a Fender.

The G&L JB is better than any Fender Jazz bass made in the last 35-38 years. G&L bring back the glory of the preCBS Fender Jazz bass w a vengeance. That is how GR8 they are!

Free bump from another G&L JB owner. Excellent jazz bass with all the nice touches that G&L adds.

genstormbringer · #10 08-18-2010, 08:51 AM

Hows my last post for a bump?

gamefacebass · #11 08-19-2010, 09:21 AM

Thanks for the bumps and great words on the JB. It is a very nice bass.

bassfart · #12 08-19-2010, 10:56 PM

I love the headstock of the G&L, that is 1 of my favorite features.

Consider any trades? I have an American Deluxe Jazz QMT V. ????

gamefacebass · #14 08-20-2010, 11:53 AM

very limited trade interest. Will consider Lakland US or Skyline BG with jazz neck.

kai_ski · #15 08-20-2010, 10:19 PM

i just want to bump this back to page 1 so I can find that JB, so sweet.

gamefacebass · #16 09-05-2010, 03:14 PM

That's cool to hear. I have always wished that EB made a J Bass and didn't know about the G&L version. After being utterly disappointed in anything I played made by Fender USA in the last 8+ years I finally took it upon myself to build my own. If my money wasn't tied up in this build I'd be all over this thing.

Gday Gameface, would you consider shipping the jazz 24 to Australia?
