    What Can Replace Broken 2003 Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass Tuner

    Hey, Unfortunately I didn't find any solution. I even emailed Fender but they didn't come up with any solution for me. I sold the bass a couple of months ago... Good luck man !

    GAS: I want a Music Man Stingray 5. What should I know?

    I took her out for the first time last night! Oh what a joy! By far the best bass I've ever owned! A dream to play ! Everyone in the band was delighted with my new bass and sound, especially our drummer and sound engineer. The bass just cuts way better through the mix than my previous main axe...

    Stingray5: Should I ditch my SansAmp BDDI?

    I'm on the verge of ditching my SansAmp BDDI v2 (for live & studio)... I'm so happy with the onboard pre-amp of my new Stingray5 30th Anniversary that I struggle to find any add value to the SansAmp (I own a Radial JDI). I used to like it and it used to be always on when I was playing my VB...

    GAS: I want a Music Man Stingray 5. What should I know?

    Do you guys use any pre-amp pedal with your Stingray? If so how do you use it in combination with the on-board pre. So far I was using a SansAmp BDDI v2 in combination with my VB Jazz 5 but now I'm so stoked with the on-board pre-amp on my 30th Anniversary that I wonder whether my SansAmp will...

    GAS: I want a Music Man Stingray 5. What should I know?

    Hey, Yeah I'm that same guy! :) Thanks again for the great tips, as always! I'm stoked with this beauty of a bass. I'll certainly post some new bass video in the coming weeks. I'll keep you posted! Has anyone any tips on how to handle the very high output of this bass? :D So far I was used to...

    GAS: I want a Music Man Stingray 5. What should I know?

    There she is! :thumbsup: I'm just blown away by this instrument. Other than the beauty of it and the instantly noticeable high-end craftsmanship, as a first-time Stingray owner, it feels like coming home. I'm putting my 5 string Victor Bailey Jazz for sale as I doubt I'll ever really need it...

    GAS: I want a Music Man Stingray 5. What should I know?

    GAS got the better of me! For better! :D I pulled the trigger!!! I'll soon be the proud owner of a Stingray, for the first time! The only StingRay5 30th Anniversary still on sale on Reverb has a new father. :hyper: The terse and self-assured description of the bass says: "Mint. Gorgeous." Well...

    GAS: I want a Music Man Stingray 5. What should I know?

    Hi All, I've never owned any Music Man before and I always thought it was one of the missing pieces in my arsenal. My main axe is a 5-string Fender Victor Bailey signature Jazz. I'd be delighted if I could snatch one of these gorgeous Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5 30th Anniversary basses...

    Loving the P-Bass but favouring a Jazz Bass for live gigs?

    True that! :D Fun fact. Aston 'Family Man' Barrett, Errol ”Flabba” Holt and Robbie Shakespeare all used J-basses (with flats?!).

    Loving the P-Bass but favouring a Jazz Bass for live gigs?

    What I'm asking: 1. Are there any other players here in the same situation as me. + 2. Implicit question concerning switching instruments live and experiences.
