Hey guys. I haven't posted in awhile... I'm looking for some Jazz acts to get into. I've been listening to some Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and John Scofield...and they are all great, but I'm looking for stuff that sounds more like "nu jazz" or "acid jazz". I normally listen to Indie Rock...

I'm obsessing about my action right now...sorry. I've been fudging around with my setup and it seems my playing style demands higher strings. I'm curious to see what others play at... Right now mine is....(@ the 12th, not depressing 1st) E/A- 3mm D/G- 2.5mm

My Jazz screams bloody murder when played with a pick...and what i mean is I get nasty little fret noise, and my action is quite high by standard. I don't normally play with a pick anyway, but just curious if anyone else has this problem. Could this be why more pick players play a Precision?

I play a Fender MIM Jazz, and I'm possibly looking to pickup my first active bass....Ibanez. I've been looking at the SR, GSR, SRX. But here's a couple of questions.... -What opinions do you have on said models? -Why are they so inexpensive? (namely the SR300DX) Whats the catch?

What is "Tongue"? Why does "Tongue" happen? How do I get rid of "Tongue"??

I'm a little late on the intro...i already have quite a few posts....but anyway. Hi...my name's Jarrod. (my friends call me Rod) I have a broken history of bass playing. I started when I was 13, on a stolen/borrowed 5 string ESP. When that was stolen back/returned, I went without any...

My cousin has an Ibanez, that i know nothing about. His bridge sits dead flat, when it's supposed to be suspended by a spring. Does anyone know how one would go about fixing this? ps- a simple link to someone who would know, would be helpful. Thanks

Perhaps this has been done before, but here it is anyway.... -"My luthier does a good nut job..." -"Gallien-Kruger gives good head..." -"That Bass player's a finger banger..." Go...

I see this being used by more and more Indie bassists. (i.e. girl from Silversun Pickups). I'm not too fond of the overall shape and look, but the question is, does it perform?? Opinions....

Mine seems to fit quite snug in the neck... ...a simple yes or no will do. Thanks!:smug:

So I just realized that D'Addario has a "marlboro miles" type deal. Anyone cash in yet?

What kind of rig would be good for small gigs with no PA, but could also be used as a monitor at venues that do, for under $1k? At first i thought the Behringer BX4500H and BA410 Half Stack Package would suffice...but did a TB search and got half and half reviews about it's reliability. Then...

I've only used XL's because they seem good enough and there's no funny little coating on them....just a pure string. But I hear nothing but good things about Elixirs. Are they really worth the $40 at GC?? Discuss...:hiding:

I ordered a black, Fender, 10 hole, 3 ply pickgaurd for my MIM standard Jazz from GC on 3 day service. 2 weeks later...I recieved the pickguard and it doesn't fit! For some backasswards reason, the pickup hole is about 15% smaller than it should be. The question is...Are pickguards...

I have a Standard Jazz, and thinking about getting new pickups. What is a good upgrade for this particular guitar? Fender Noiseless? Fender SCN?? Active pickup upgrade???

Hey...new poster here.....(obviously) I'm intrested in upgrading to a badass II on my standard Jazz, but i was wondering about the difference in sound between the un-slotted and pre-slotted, if any difference at all. Any pros/cons between the two?
