    Changing necks on a MIM Fender Jazz Bass

    I own five Jazz basses: USA Deluxe Jazz V, USA Deluxe Jazz 4string, MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz, MIJ Aerodyne Jazz and a MIM Standard Jazz V.

    Received my new Fender American Jazz V Deluxe last night!

    None at all. I was concerned about that as I had read that it was there, but either I got a really good one or Fender fixed it for the 2013 models.

    Received my new Fender American Jazz V Deluxe last night!

    I got a 20% coupon from Musicians Friend last week and was surprised to see that it applied to Fender. Usually their "percent off" specials don't. So I bought a brand new wine red American Jazz V Deluxe for $1439. It is everything they say it is. Completely blows my MIM 60th Anniversary Jazz...

    Male Vocalists You Can't Stand

    Perry Farrell, the lead singer from Jane's Addiction, pretty much tops my list. I hear that voice and I want to start punching things.

    Gibson Ripper basses - what are they like?

    That's pretty much where I was going to go with this as well. Listening to KISS Alive! or earlier albums will give a good sense of what the tone is like. That being said, he tended to use both a Ripper and a Grabber, with the Grabber being used as his primary stage bass. It might be hard to...

    Worst band you've ever seen?

    Oh, I was thinking ou were asking about national acts as I was going to say that I saw Buck Cherry last year. They were TERRIBLE. As far a local bands, shoot to many to many over the years to count. I think I was in one of them at one time. :D

    Strap Lock system

    I learned that almost the hard way with my Fender strap locks. I was able to catch my bass in time thankfully. I now check them every time I play to ensure they are still tight.

    Any Reason NOT to buy a 5 stringer?

    I have both five string and four string basses. I only play my five string when I absolutlely have to. Nothing against five string basses, but I have been playing four string basses for a really long time and prefer them. In fact, just this week I was working out songs I normally play on the...
