Fender American Standard Jazz 5 Black/Black/Maple Perhaps a 2008, I haven't tried it yet, I really like the S1 switch on the 5er though.

Though, as a mainland European, this is rather useful, I've seen a new Fender American Std. Jazz for 830 euros including shipping which is about 329 euros cheaper than elsewhere. I'm so GASsing for one right now, it's not even funny anymore. :bawl:

Hahaha, oh wow, I actually thought the black dot on his head was his left eye. I don't have any great advice, but if she really wants one, why not just give it to her, she'll take care of it herself right?

At least let us guess bit by bit By answering a yes-or-no question and thusly leading us slowly to salvation. My first question is? -Is it a jazz bass?

I'm just gonna say what most others are, 3-ply black.

What? I've imported a bass from Japan and haven't had any trouble with that. Also, due to the high-valued euro, buying a bass from the UK is a good alternative, Fender MIA Standard Jazz costs ~1200 euros, while the same thing from the UK including shipping costs ~970 euros, importing the same...

Anybody wanna buy me one? I'll give the person who can send me one $500 and I'll pay for shipping to Europe. PLEASE ;_; Eitherway, they messed up, and if they can't offer the bass at that price they should at least give something like discount or whatever.

Actually it also depends on what kind of punk you're talking about. If you're talking about the "classical" punk sound go fat, lots of bass and lose some of the mids. If you're talking about a more gritty punk so, you could try dropping the bass (even to 0) and raising the mids and treble(even...

I think I know what you mean, on low volume everything sounds thin, but if you crank it up, it starts sounder better, but unfortunatly, that's too loud to play in a bedroom.

The Skylines have a very good name, Invalid Link Removed page is about the differences between them. Also, if you don't like active basses, you might wanna try a Fender American Jazz 2008, they have passive electronics and seem to be of high quality.

I'm going for two, the slap gave it away the last time on the Markbass/SWR/Ampeg comparison. And 2 sounded a bit deeper to me. But I have to say, it's so close, if even us bassists have a hard time telling the different after numerous tries, that Tech 21 VT is pretty awesome. I'm buying it...

Maybe you should compromise and blow up? :p

Though I haven't played any maple necks yet... someone here posted a comparison using the same bass but different necks. The maple IMHO did have more "bite" to it but it was only noticable towards the higher end. Of course, YMMV, but maybe you could try digging up that old thread and giving...

To be honest, I think I wouldn't be able to play as fast and dexturous with those as with regular picks.

.... ...Wait I get it now.

OSHII-- Is it too late already? Thank God I'm a cheapskate though, otherwise GAS would've killed me a long time ago :(

We all now that people like jazz's precisions in about a 2:1 ratio (at least the number I see in the polls) But what other pickup style is your favourite (excluding J's and P's (PJ are allowed though)) I'd love to add a poll, but I think there would be too much options, so far I can think...

Though I love 3T SB with a RW fingerboard, I'm really digging the black/black/maple look, it just looks so classy and every time I see it makes me GAS madly. (That's why I stay away from the black&maple club for the time being)

What would I do with £1500? Not quite sure, maybe you could make a patronage and we'd find out? If I were to spend it on a bass, for me, a Sadowsky is all I can think of, probably a fiver, or a Rick and a Stingray 5er . Anyway since importing sound gear from anywhere outside Europe is either...

Hahaha, reading all this remembers me when I first heard 'em. I listed to loads of junk, the more aggressive the better. So I was talking to a friend about some of these bands and he tells me he has some really hardcore metal, from a band called Dragonforce, though the name kinda made me raise...

True, but I only experience that when I press in pretty hard, if I press the string without too much pressure it gives out the same tone over the length of the entire fret.

None of these, I think. I can adjust the neck at the headstock and it's not visible at the base of the neck. So maybe it could be the second one reversed?

Well, maybe some small hardware adjustments, pickguard, knobs, tuners and bridge. But not the electronics, if... ehh when, I buy a new bass, I'd buy it for the sound and how it feels, sure I'll be honoust, looks matter somewhat, but those are the most important ones to me. So buying new...

Well, IMO, dead notes are the x's by plucking a note while putting my finger on the string while not pushing it in. While I play ghost notes by either gently pushing in the string above the appropriate fret or pluck very gently, so you don't get the full sound of a regular pluck.

1/10 Obvious troll is obvious.

Fb=mDb^2 or Fb=mB#^2 for more confusion.

General Ackbar: "IT'S A TRAP!"

B/PG/N Black/Black/Maple Simple, Stylish, Sophisticated

Just curious, did you ever go to a j-rock concert, maybe I've seen you D: Yeah, but it's the Edwards version, I'm not spending 2000 euros no the ESP, which doesn't even seem that impressive. Haha, yeah I noticed this too, I've only seen some use their fingers, but whatever sounds good...

Sure, lemme see now... Merry - Dekiai no suisou/メリー　溺愛の水槽, very jazz/bluesy http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=BfcZ64eSOqA MUCC - Bouzenjishitsu/ムック　茫然自失, rawr...

Speak of the devil! D: Dutch J-Rock fans on my TalkBass? xD On the topic of basslines, Toshiya's old basslines are pretty cool, although I think I like Reita's better. Though, IMHO, YUKKE from MUCC has some pretty cool basslines and I think Kazu from Kagerou has some of the best I've...

Yeah, IMHO, this threw me off immediately. Makes me think he just ripped at least one out of these two photosets of the internet. And all the other signs seem like it could be a hoax too... Although I could of course be mistaken.:hiding:

Learning to play with my pinky was one the things I learned in my early bass months, one-finger-per-fret really helps me get better reach and raise my fretting technique IMO. You should try some pinky exercises, not only on your bass, pushing things with it, build up strength. Building up...

Bumpity Bump Too bad it's US voltage while I live in Europe and we have 230V @ 50Hz :cry: Otherwise I'd buy this in a sec.

Since you're going all black, yes on the black tuners. and +1 on the black control plate, you might even consider a black pickguard, but it might become overkill... Just my $0.02

Any bass that looks horrific but sounds amazing, why on earth would you do that :p

Ibanez SRX305 ESP Edwards E-T-100TR TB Total: 487

Yay, correct :D But I would like to thank JimmyM for these threads, not only did I learn some new stuff about amps, I also learned that great sounding amps don't need to be expensive. And although tone is in the hand of the player, it sure helps giving out a decent sound and now I'm really...

I'm just guessing on the first two, but the lows on the third sound kind of they are forcing their limit, like the LMII. And I chose the second as the SWR for it having a more "clear" sound, mind you, the only amp I ever owned is my practice amp :p 1:B-15 2:SWR 3:LMII
