    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Alright, pickup cover on or off? I kinda like it. I can get so many different tones from playing at the bridge vs the neck and the cover is kinda a natural separator for that. And also it looks cool. Butttt...it does get in the way when I'm picking from the back. Fingerstyle, weirdly enough...

    The Rickenbacker Club Part Twelve

    Ok about 72 hours with my SW. I really love it I could se myself playing this for the rest of my life. Neck is great, tones are great, body is solid and comfy. Only complaint, and this may just be a walnut thing, the frets protrude a little out of the neck the tiniest bit, the there is some...

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club Part Seven!!!

    Speaking of AVRI (well it was on the last page) finally got my hands to test one and god they are nice. Wondering why they are so darn expensive tho. Local shop has a 62 AVRI jazz for $1700, I could get a Pro II for that. Ugh. Dunno what I wanna do now.

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club Part Seven!!!

    Hello Jazz bass owners. Looking for something new... Have a Player jazz which I love, I just want to explore some more of the vintage offerings. Trying to decide between the AVRI, American Original, or 60th Anniversary Roadworn. Unfortunately, not a lot of shops seem to carry the AO anymore, so...

    Jazz Bass Question

    Grats OP. Awesome looking bass. Sorry for bumping this but I'm in a similar situation. Looking to upgrade my MIM Standard Jazz...between Deluxe/Ultra, AO, and Roadworn. Roadworn is Mexican made right? I've heard great things about it but MIM build quality can get iffy sometimes. Unless I'm...

    If you could have one bass (J vs P)...

    I can get more sounds from my J than my P, and it's more fun to play.

    PJ's do not bring a jazz bass tone. get over it

    I have not played a PJ that sounds close to my Jazz. But then again, maybe the really upper echelon ones get closer.

    P Bass advice?

    Looking to finally grab a P Bass again after I had to sell mine a few years back. Thing is, I'm trying to figure out what route to go. Currently I'm looking at something in the ~$600 ish range and I'm trying to decide between your standard Fender P or one of those Vintage or Classic Vibe ones I...

    Anybody else struggle with theory? Anyone NOT struggle? Anyone wanna help this guy?

    I'm in a weird place where I know a some theory and some by ear. It's weird because everyone else I play with either seems to have a natural ear for everything or they just know the theory, but I'm kind of half and half. It's frustrating at times, and I've tried to commit to learning more...

    Who started it all for you?

    Glen Cornick for me too. Heard Bouree and was instantly in love with the instrument. Then, realized many of the the awesome riffs from Yes were Squire and the rest is history. I didn't know bass could "do" that for the longest time.

    Am I too old....

    Whew, thought I was too old for a minute. 29 here. Started at around 18, but never really got into it more than memorizing basslines. Hoping to dig into it for real this time. Good to hear it's never too late.
