I just put a set of these in my Road Worn Jazz. The set that came with it (bought it on Craigslist) was a mis-matched set. The bass did sound good. After the CS upgrade I noticed it was much fatter and punchier. The fellows in my band really noticed a difference too. I have a set of these that...

I love this bass. I just put some Rotosound 66's on it (never tried them-paying homage to the greats who used them). I was really surprised how much my bandmates like this bass, especially the drummer. Not sure how but Fender gave these Road Worn's that vintage mojo that all of the other Fender...

I recently got a RWJ in the same color. I have to say that this is one of the finest Jazz Basses I have ever played. These are super light and very punchy. You will be very happy with this bass. Did you notice a significant difference with the new Fralins and the original stock fenders? Good luck.

Just picked up one of these. This bass blew me away. My bandmates love this bass. You will not be dissapointed. Good luck!

Oooohh that's pretty...I would look good next to my black on black P bass.

After research I have decided to get the Shadow. It should be here today. I took the time to properly set the bridge and am happily waiting for UPS. I am enjoying the process of learning about my new instrument. I appreciate all of the comments.

Just picked up a 20 something year old Knilling Summit 1330T bass. I was looking for a decent bass to learn on this one had suprizing character and sound. I would like to buy a pick up for this. I will be playing it through a Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.0 and Epifani cabs (UL-210 and a UL-115). I would...

I just noticed he wanted $625. The ones I have seen here are $400 to $500. The preamp is not the greatest, as the previous poster stated, but it can be upgraded. I will put mine up against any Fender for quality of build, however.

Yes, that is a FenderJ24. I have the 4 string version. Mine does not have the active /passive switch. They are very well built basses and for many years it was my main axe. They come with Bassline pickups, a high mass bridge and a very usable EQ. The fit and finish is as nice as any Fender I...

Every time I have seen him at Saxquest in St. Louis with The Mu'tet he has sat down. In videos of him with the Yellowjackets he was standing. He is very tall (makes me look like a fat midget) and his hands are huge.

Here is a video of here in St. Louis. It's a Fodera. Felix was very cool and spent some time talking to me. Very awesome musician. Amp/cab=Aguilar Tone Hammer and 2 Aguilar 1x12's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMQELa_-ge4

Relax, trees grow in the cold. When you get it allow it to slowly acclimate to indoor temps. Open the packaging and let her breath. You should be OK. Best of luck, my friend!

Just picked up a new P Bass and run the volume at 10 and the tone at 4.

Payment sent. Thanks, Mike!

PM'ed you, Mike
