My experience has been that I've never really played a Fender Jazz Bass that wasn't at least decent. Most are pretty good. I'm probably not the pickiest player. There are differences in them, but I agree that it often comes down to the individual basses than models. Currently, I have an American...

As a few others have said, pay extra attention to locking in with the drummer. If they want you there, you've already passed the hardest test. Back when I was about 16, I was invited to sit in with a veteran local metal band. They were at least twice my age, but they liked me. I worked at a...

Thank you for sharing this. I have known too many people that lost this fight. As articulate as I believe I am at work or when writing, I am confounded when I try to express my love and good wishes. I lost a friend last year. I just am thankful for the one nice summer evening I got to spend with...

I dig it! Is that from the 90s? Kind of looks like it but I've never seen one before.

I had heard about Dingwall basses for a while but had never tried or heard one, and was blissful in my ignorance. Then, I heard a clip. It wasn't long, but the sound was just so compelling I had to get one. I bought a Combustion Nashville 6 string. It has the Neve Designs preamp, which is...

Maybe, but it's the only forum I belong to with that logic.

I received the same thing as monsterthompson when I tried to see the wanted ads recently.

I've been super happy with my Aguilar Twin Filter. I haven't tried for the Chameleon sound specifically but it's pretty versatile.

They are obviously both great basses, but the Jazz just has something more. That's a good question. It's my opinion that the Stingray sounds like a Stingray, and that is what attracts many players to it. And it's a great sound, but often an aggressive sound, if that makes sense. But I think the...

I'm gonna go with the Jazz Bass, a sweep across all styles.

Not sure if this is the right section but thought I would try to find one of my old Bass teachers. About 25 years ago, when Mars Music still existed (Albany, NY), I met Calvin Jacobs working there. I heard him testing out a bass and immediately begged him to give me some lessons. We had a...

That's a good question. I guess the biggest thing is how low the action is. Some people may have less or no problem slapping on the Dingwall, but I need a little space to dig in under the strings when I pop. With the banjo frets the Dingwall has the lowest action of any Bass I've ever played. I...

I had no idea he was making these. I'd never heard of them. Thanks for expanding my knowledge!

I own a (Chinese) Dingwall Nashville Combustion 6 string and a Fender USA Jazz Bass V Deluxe. I love them both. The Dingwall is absolutely fantastic and after 35 years brought a new excitement to play, it's that good. But, the only thing is I love playing slap too, and the Dingwall just feels...

My brother and I used to lift weights to this album (on a red stained cassette). Living Colour is one of my top 5 all time favorite bands. And while I'm not always a fan of replacing original band members, Wimbish replacing Muzz Skillings is a rare case where I love both players' contributions...
