    Fender MIJ Junior Collection Jazz Bass Club

    I'd be interested in these if you're willing to ship to Australia?

    Fender MIJ Junior Collection Jazz Bass Club

    I'll be heading overseas soon for a few weeks so I figure it might be a good chance to send my new bass to my tech for a setup and maybe new strings. Does anyone have recommendations on strings for these JCJB's? I typically prefer flatwounds but Thomastik doesn't make a set of strings that will...

    Discontinued basses you'd like to see brought back.

    I've always thought the Reverend Rumblefish was a really cool bass and it doesn't seem like Reverend offers something with dual single coils at the moment? Closest thing is the Triad.

    NBD - G&L M2000

    Looks like it has a lovely quartersawn neck! Grats on the new bass!

    Here is the stepped part I am referring to. It's not a big deal to me but I'm curious if everyone else has this aswell? I saw the pictures that @Blazebass77 posted in another bass and his also this so I'm assuming it's normal. I've also attached a picture of the back of the neck. I can...

    I spent some time noodling on the bass and it's definitely a lot easier on my hands than my full scale bass. I have mild arthritis so maybe I'll play shortscales exclusively, but it'll be hard to let go of my previous bass cos I really love that one too. I used luggage scales to weigh my JCJB...

    NBD, it finally got delivered today! First impressions: - Fit and finish is not as good as my G&L, but not bad by any means. I would've liked the neck pocket to be a little tighter. - There seems to be a step on the lower horn under the neck but I guess that's normal? - I may have won the neck...

    Fender MIJ Junior Collection Jazz Bass Club

    I've been following this discussion a bit and the FOMO finally overwhelmed me, so I pulled the trigger on one a few days ago. It should hopefully arrive this week so I can stop refreshing the tracking page :D I read about the tuner mod and was wondering if anyone knew where I can find Hipshot...

    I've not been able to find one in NSW, seems like VIC gets all the best gear! How does the neck feel compared to a regular Player Jazz bass? Obviously it's shorter, but in terms of shape radius, width etc? I thought maybe I could try playing a regular Fender J bass to get an idea of what the...

    Fender 30" scale Jazz Bass Its Landed!!!!!! Fresh from the land of the rising sun!

    I'm looking at getting a shortscale due to having arthritis and I'm really interested in this JCJB. Just wondering, how does the sound compare to a full size J bass?

    G&L Club Part 7

    Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I recently bought a used G&L so thought I'd make this my first post. I started learning bass about a year ago and I've been using a Yamaha RBX270. It was okay, a little rough but it did the job. It had some intonation problems but the cost to get it setup was...
