Yup. Ended up with a BB734a. Love it to death!

Yeah for emphasis, the tech didn't do anything "out of the ordinary" And he admitted that a lot of the work he did, the bass didn't specifically need but this guy's a legend who goes the extra mile for me. If there's something about a guitar that I give him which he can improve, he does it. So...

I haven't had those issues BUT: I have a BB734A. I dropped it off at my local luthier\tech (who does amazing work. Cargill guitars). When he STARTED setting it up, he would "fix" a thing, and would notice that something else could be improved. So he would fix that too. And then he kept...

Kinda still a dick post. Her expectations were not unrealistic. They didn't promise a magic instrument, just something lightweight and built well. She got neither.

Yeah I don't want to use the entire Amplitude suite for the sake of one envelope filter. That feels like using a bazooka to kill a mosquito... Mind you having a look at all the pedals in Amplitube, they pretty much have everything available... How big of a pedal chain can you set up in Amplitube?

YO! Has any company made an Envelope Filter pedal plugin? Y'know, like a modelled QTron or something? For me, it's just for proof-of-concept more than serious tone-sculpting. But I'd be keen to grab one. Anybody know of one?

Well that's just it. I think I prefer a far more "Traditional" bass tone compared to a modern one. My soundgear had a mid bump switch instead of a preamp switch. It also had soapbar pickups. Based on that, I'm not keen on soapbars, nor am I keen on Ibanez basses. AGAIN: Killer to play, and I...

For the record, I once had an Ibanez Soundgear Magnificent to play, but it was...less like "an bass" and more like "a guitar downtuned an octave" It sounded great by itself, but it didn't really do the "job" of what you want a bass to do.

I did ask earlier, but it was buried in another post so fair shout for not noticing Thoughts on a Warwick Corvette? Definitely a Jazz Bass alternative. Heard some interesting demos. Not sure if Marcus Miller would rock one. I mean I know he hasn't rocked one, but he sticks very firmly to...

Actually, this is a very good idea too. I always preferred the neck of my Squier CV P-Bass over the Jazz Neck. The CV P does not give me any ick. The Yamaha does have a similar neck to the P (actually a bit bigger) so MAYBE it's the neck that's giving me the ick. So a Jazz with a P neck might...

Yeah these are high on the list. I feel like I'm opening a can of worms here... But how do the Sires compare to the Fenders? Not just in terms of "quality" but more in terms of physical differences?

I think in summary what I am most interested in is: - A Jazz Bass that perhaps isn't a Fender-Shaped-Object (I'm not convinced it's just a weight thing) - But still something that Marcus Miller would play and sound awesome on. It's worth acknowledging that Marcus Miller could make a rubber...

It would need routing as well as a pickguard... I'm actually considering a Warwick Corvette? I've never played one but it seems within a bulls roar of that Yamaha... I am considering the possibility that the contrast may be a statement about the Yamaha more than the BB. When I bought that Jazz...

Thread closed. I'ma get me one of those. I just looked one up and they're very reasonably priced. HOWEVER: They're also a bit tricky to find. ... So bearing in mind that I LOVE the look of that Yamaha, I guess we can really narrow down our search! What's something which is in production...

Interesting thought, but I just had a flick through some of the basses on sweetwater and there weren't massive differences? At most, roughly about a pound difference which isn't huge... (But being an Aussie, I work in kg not lb because I'm not an animal, ergo I admittedly don't have much...
