Call Jeff at 201-741-8654. Great guy plays bass for Blackdog. I drive to NJ from CT to take lessons from him. PM if you want more details.

Yep a friend loaned me a avri j for 2 days. It's a nice bass but the rw was better. Also I tried a used custom shop vintage in the store for about an hour and can't really see an advantage there, especially price wise. That sounds great. I used roto flats what are you using? I will be...

I can understand your thinking. I never would have considered one either before I read about the rw posts here on talkbass. But I have to say after trying one out and the classic 60 nitro for the last couple of weeks I can't think of a better vintage spec bass that's currently available. It...

Yep. rw jazz= 8#6oz classic nitro =9#1oz, measured on a digital scale.

Well after having played the rw jazz and the c60's jazz in nitro back to back non stop for the last 2 plus weeks I have decided to keep the rw. I just wouldn't sleep at nite knowing I let the rw slip through my very sore fingers..lol I don't really care for the finish but it just doesn't matter...

I have both now and the only difference between the 2 of them besides the relic part is the rw is a lot lighter and I've been told that is because the wood was kiln-dried. The wt are 8#'s 6 oz to 9#'s 1oz. Also they don't sound the same. They both have a very vintage tone but different. I'm torn...

Do they last long?

Well I have the classic 60 nitro set up really nice now. The rw is the better player. I favor the tone of the classic a bit more though. I think it's great gc and sam ash allows 30 days to decide if you want to keep the instruments. I even pondered the ideal of taken the neck off the rw and...

Well I'm torn. I really want the classic 60 nitro to play as well as the rw because I love the finish but so far I can't say it does. I'm going to take it to GC to have someone better then me set it up. I love the tone of both of them and they both sound like a vintage j. I think the rw...

Well after reading this thread and the others I went out last week and ordered a rw j and the new classic 60's j in nitro. I have to say the rw plays phenomenal. I don't care for the finish though but it's the best Fender bass I have ever played. The set up out of the box was perfect. The cs...

Well thanks to all the people here who take the time to post, I went out last week and purchased a rw j bass and a classic 60 j in nitro. I figured I would a/b them against a original 64 j bass I have and keep the one that works the best for me. So far I have a couple hours on the rw and it is...

Does anyone know of a good instructor in the Stamford Ct area? Thanks
