    Need to buy new rig ASAP! Looking used...cheap... :(

    Search for vintage acoustic heads 220 & 370 come to mind, their cabs are also usually pretty low priced and sound huge. Try Hartke lh500 & lh 1000, clean loud head room you can add pedals to get that fuzz or dirt. Find anything from Sunn. Search for folded horns if you're doing big outdoor...

    Aguilar TH 350 vs Hartke LH 500

    Aguilar TH 350 and Hartke LH 500 Mostly from reading and style of play I've found these two amps within my budget will fit. Ampeg PF series was in the run for a long while during the research, but I've been scared out of it by the unreliability was looking at the PF350 and their flip top 210...

    Broke Down and bought a DI

    Thanks chap. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Around 1/4th of the cost and they've gotta be buying in bulk getting better deals.

    I'm surprised at the cost of the Radial JDI. With a look inside, there is no way the components could cost up to 200 buck, could it? Still, I'll be getting one.

    fair market value prices jazz bass's thoughts needed

    Haha! I am concerned that it is a string through. Good info about the highway1. Ah I see! Haha all good. Aerodyne looks cool and I'm sure sound great the p sound I'm not so much after either. The basswood body for me seems redundant. I have a Japan jazz that has a basswood body already so...

    Also this one just poped up: fender american vintage 62 jazz bass custom relic custom shop pickups with hard case $900.00 Looks off, not sure why there are three knobs on the control plate and no outputjack. Super weird. Looks like it's using the stacked knob control plate for some reason.

    That's good news about the price on the american jazz. I'm a bit concerend that the american jazz is string through though, haven't heard back from the seller. I've read that most american standards are made this way now a days.

    Relic Guitars and Basses

    Perhaps those who go on about resale value, shouldn't play in the first place. Minds corrupted by greed and superficial beauty. On a cool note. Everyone go practice your playing and reading. You're welcome.

    Doesn't matter because an instrument isn't about looks. It's about playability, attachment, and sound.

    Strings, their guage and effecting relief. Trussrod maxed, still have relief.

    Hey everyone, thank you for your guy's input and the length you all have gone into detail helping me understand my problem and how to resolve it. Finally after a few months of frustration. I've resolved it. I took the neck off and took off the truss rod nut. Let it set for a few days. Then...

    Thank you. Will go with the washers for now. Would I need a different size for a Japan bass? I'm hoping it's just stuck, and have it be a low cost fix / something I can do. I really hate bringing an instrument to a shop. Never feels right. Notice you're in California AndyPanda, do you know of...
