Hey Stew, just saw that pic. Except the GK head, that's almost the same rig I used 2 weeks ago, before the mods I've mentoined. Strap too :) Between the switches, did you also noticed the VMF sounded brighter and louder.

It's been more than 2 months with my RW jazz, so far I am very, very happy with it. Played it at gigs and in studio, it just feels and sounds fantastic. I've replaced the stock pickups with a set of Seymour Duncan Antiquity II. Can't really say it sounds better now, but it definately got more of...

Sounds like a good idea. I have a gig next week and I will first check how it feels as it is now. Stock tuners are so good looking worn out. Ultralites will surely kill the looks of it. But still, I may go for them If I get too uncomfortable live...

Hey Jim. Sorry I've been busy playing around with my new toy :) I've received my new Road Worn Sunburst Jazz Bass a couple weeks ago and I've finally figured why so many TBers like RW's so much. It's easily the best JB I've ever owned, including American Standards and a Geddy Lee. I always...

Thanks for the info Jim... I have to wait two weeks for the delivery and I'd love to report my opinions when the package arrives.

Thanks for all the info who participated. I'm currently waiting for a shipment of a sunburst RW jazz.

I have a question in mind. Some mass production Fender instruments lose some quality in years of time. Can anyone compare the '08 or '09 made RW'S to 2012 made ones. The reason why I'm asking is I've experienced that on my Geddy Lee. I have a 2004 made Geddy which plays like a dream but recently...

+1 for Paul Simon's African Graceland Concert. It would be a delight for the kids.

Hey guys. I really need some help on this one. I've always been a direct bass-to-amp guy. But now needed, I am trying to make a choice between Sansamp BBDI and Paradriver. Puzzled enough, i bumped into the VT Bass which sounds also interesting. And i can't make a comparison. I can't try them...

Thanks for the info. That explains a lot.

I tried most of the variations you mentioned here, as far as my equipment let me. I started to get better sounds. But... I think GB (maybe all DAW software simulating the amp tones) is not being faithful to carry the characteristics of the natural tones of the bass. (I am leaving out options...

Thanks for the input. Just wondering; How is presonus different than any m-audio sound interfaces.

So It seems like a good idea to wait for the II's. Thanks!

I know some of you guys here really favour Garageband in recording bass... Besides micing the amp, how do bass players here record through Garageband? I am using passive Jazz Basses, an M-Audio sound interface and can't seem to get a decent sound out of it. Do you use the track as a "real...

I've made a wrong order and instead of a pair of Antiquity II's, I got Antiquity I on my Jazz Bass. So far I liked it, but regarding the great reviews, I was really keen on the II's. So I told the local dealer and it seems that they don't have II's. But I was also told that they can make a new...
