Thanks for this, I found the bass I wanted on their site and I've placed an order. A 30 day money back guarantee made it worthwhile. Cost about £200 more than the UK dropshipper I found through Google, but then Thomanns actually have a guitar to sell!

Well... this is the problem. I also believe that every bass is different, so its a bit of a crap shoot. I'm after a Fender deluxe american jazz fretless. I'd really like the black one. Alternatively I might go for the standard model. There are two Mexican standards in Denmark Street, but...

Yes... these are so very close. I don't think that there is the 'freedom' of jazz in this kind of music, so to me, the influences are worn a bit too heavily on the sleeve for a claim of originality. The feel is similar, just at a slightly different tempo.

Having searched every music shop in London, I've been told that the Fender jazz I am after won't be available in the UK until September... but the US online sites show stock is available in the US. I've always preferred to buy from a music shop, so that the thing is set up properly... the...

I am having an outdoor party and a little jam session. There will be at least one capable guitarist, one drummer and me with a bass, plus more less capable guitarists etc. In order to make this work, I think I need to put together a set of say about 10 really very simple tunes that I can...

I only discovered this site a week ago... now this! I want to go to the London Event but I've never been to the indig02 venue... does anyone know where its good to sit to see the band as well as hear them. Is the Kings Row section the best, so called VIP, so I guess it must be?

Thanks for all your feedback... I'll probably get a local luthier to sort the nut / set it up for me once I have it basically in place. I'll check out the bubinga option as well. Lighter woods probably look better because the bass is a silvery colour.

I have a US Jazz that I really like but I want to return to playing fretless. From reading this forum it looks like a nice alternative might be just to buy a new neck from Warmoth. Tonally I'd like that 'mwah' sound. I'll be sticking with roundwound strings. Visually an all maple...

Thats a really lovely looking guitar. Is it a maple fingerboard?
