I want a new amp as well. I like the looks of the Kustom Groove 310. Has a tilt back dolly set up & lots of power. Check it out on Musicians Friend.

I remember that feeling of when I got my first Fender.:hyper: It was in 1976, brand new Jazz Bass, white with tort, maple fret board, block inlay & binding, big ashtray & hood scoop, all nice & shiny.:bassist: I will always love her.;) Enjoy your new Jazz!!

You have to really WANT a headless bass...

Rotosound Jazz Bass 77's heavy gauge flats on my H1J = Thump City.

Call me crazy but I usually find that if I can get it to sound right on stage it sounds right "out there". Everything flat & scoop full works for me. Usually. Unless it's outside or in a barn of some sort it's pretty simple. I think sometimes we get too cerebral and carried away with EQ.

Nice thighs.

Jazz or Precision - what do you think? :hiding:

Very interesting backgrounder there dark. Thanks. That neck looks awesome. It looks like an ebony fret board - I'm drooling here...very desirable.

IF I owned it and IF it was mine to do with as I wish, I'd slap a badass on there. Yes I would.:hyper: What the hell, why not? :hiding:

Hey Groovenut, I have the same H1 sunburst, except mines a Z8 and naked - I removed the pick guard. I love it as I'm sure you love yours. Enjoy your adventure and go deep!

I like mine naked. Nothing like a naked sunburst. No pick guards. Ever. Especially oval ones.

To me, rosewood is warmer than maple & maple is faster than rosewood. To my bassplaying buddy, there is no difference in tone but rosewood is faster than maple. We have both been playing for 30+ years. Goes to show you that there is no accounting for personal taste in spite of all the expert...

I use a Yorkie also, with a Hartge x cab. Everything flat & scoop maxed - unlike Nick Kay. I use the controls on my H1 Jazz to tune in. Sounds deep & rich with a nice "chunk" if you use your nails or a pick. Strings probably factor in as well, I use heavy Rotosound 77's flats.

Heavy gauge flats = deeper tone.

Never tell your girl friend/wife: "Yes shmugums, that outfit makes you look fat"
