    been pulling my hair out trying to decide on a bass. Fender American? Deluxe? Mim?Japanese? Stingray? P bass? I dropped my label addiction issue and pre conseved standards and went out with an open mind . Played tons of basses, everything felt ok but they need a little something. Some were...

    MIM vs USA jazz bass

    Thanks for everones Input. I think I have become a label snob. I've seen amazing players playing the biggest POS instruments and I've seen dudes with $5000 basses that couldn't hang if their lives depended on it.

    MIM vs USA jazz bass

    I have found such insane deals on used MIM basses. I've played a bunch of USA basses at GC. But it's hard to judge because the are all set up( or not set at all ) so badly. Where are they cutting corners on the MIM basses? I seriously can't feel or hear the difference. They MIM bass seem...

    MIM vs USA jazz bass

    let me start by saying I'm new to the forum. But I come here in need of your advise. I'm getting ready to buy a bass, after not playing for 10 years. I will only gig with it locally, few times a month. Will a MIM jazz bass be enough or will I kick myself down the road for not buying the USA...
