    Fret Sizes for Fender American Standard Jazz Bass & Ernie Ball SB 14?

    I'm looking for the fret size of the 2011 American Standard Jazz Bass, and i don't mean in terms of "medium jumbo", i'd like the four digit number-size. Also, if anybody knows the four digit number-size of the frets on the Ernie Ball SB14, that would be helpful. It's a long shot, but if...

    Warmoth Slim Taper Neck & Neck Woods

    Howdy, Just an inquiry about Warmoth slim taper necks. As some of you know, i am looking for a JB neck that has a flatter profile (at the back of the neck). Don't really like the modern C shape. Question: does the slim taper effect the tone in any way? What sort of wood should i be looking...

    Passive vs. Active - don't 'shoot' me!

    Before anybody complains, i have searched the threads, but don't have an answer to my question. My question is pretty specific though, it's not just a 'passive vs. active' question. My question relates directly to passive vs. active jazz basses. I have a Sterling SB14 (i know it's not a jazz...

    What is a really good "broken in" Jazz bass?

    Hi, What model and brand of bass feels broken in, even when bought brand new? For example, i've found that my MIA Fender feels "tight", whereas i played a super-cheap vintage bass a few months ago, and it felt "loose" and broken in. The neck was easy to navigate, and it was just easy to play...

    Warmoth jazz bass vs. mid-range jazz bass

    Okay, It's decision time again. I'd like to know your thoughts on whether i should get a custom-made Warmoth, or a mid-range "branded" jazz bass, such as a Skyline, MIM, MIJ, or even a MIA Fender? The advantages of the Warmoth (imo) are: - Custom colour - Get to choose the body type, wood...

    Bass Guitar Necks, particularly Jazz bass necks

    Well, I looked around and found some similiar threads, but given they were created years ago, i thought things might have changed in terms of technology, hence a new one. My question relates primarily to Jazz Bass necks. But, if i find a non-jazz bass neck that works, i'll happily accept...

    Lindy Fralin PUs on a Fender Jazz Bass

    I know this thread has probably been done 1,000 times before, but i am interested to know how Lindy Fralin PUs would go on an MIA 2010 Fender Jazz. It currently has the stock PUs on it. I wish there was a comparison somewhere on YouTube. The sort of sound i'm looking for is not too bright...

    Lakland 44-60 'Vintage J' Bass

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I am totally GASing for one of these. Has anybody had any experience with them? I've heard they've got great necks (satin). How do they compare to the Indonesian-made Skyline? Just want to know if the $$$ is worth it. Don't tell me to 'go and play one'...

    Asked my age... what the hell?!

    Hello all, I recently replied to an ad in the local paper asking for a bass player. The person responded and over the phone, asked how old i am. Can you believe it? I found it quite rude. She then went on to explain (albeit very briefly) that they're all in their mid-twenties and are looking...

    GASing for a vintage Tokai Jazz Bass... Big Time

    Well, i played a Tokai Jazz a couple of months ago and it blew me away! Only problem was, i was all maxed out on the cash i wanted to spend, so didn't buy it. Now, i want a "law suit" era Tokai jazz bass, with a rosewood fretboard. I hope my dreams come true. Not really fussed on the colour...

    Hi everyone, Can you please help me? I am thinking of buying a Rickenbacker online, from another country. Aside from the shipping costs and obvious risks of postage, can you think of any other disadvantages of buying offshore? - Warranty? - Damage in the post? - Dodgy seller? -...
