I want a new amp as well. I like the looks of the Kustom Groove 310. Has a tilt back dolly set up & lots of power. Check it out on Musicians Friend.

I remember that feeling of when I got my first Fender.:hyper: It was in 1976, brand new Jazz Bass, white with tort, maple fret board, block inlay & binding, big ashtray & hood scoop, all nice & shiny.:bassist: I will always love her.;) Enjoy your new Jazz!!

You have to really WANT a headless bass...

Rotosound Jazz Bass 77's heavy gauge flats on my H1J = Thump City.

Call me crazy but I usually find that if I can get it to sound right on stage it sounds right "out there". Everything flat & scoop full works for me. Usually. Unless it's outside or in a barn of some sort it's pretty simple. I think sometimes we get too cerebral and carried away with EQ.

Nice thighs.

Jazz or Precision - what do you think? :hiding:

Very interesting backgrounder there dark. Thanks. That neck looks awesome. It looks like an ebony fret board - I'm drooling here...very desirable.

IF I owned it and IF it was mine to do with as I wish, I'd slap a badass on there. Yes I would.:hyper: What the hell, why not? :hiding:

Hey Groovenut, I have the same H1 sunburst, except mines a Z8 and naked - I removed the pick guard. I love it as I'm sure you love yours. Enjoy your adventure and go deep!

I like mine naked. Nothing like a naked sunburst. No pick guards. Ever. Especially oval ones.

To me, rosewood is warmer than maple & maple is faster than rosewood. To my bassplaying buddy, there is no difference in tone but rosewood is faster than maple. We have both been playing for 30+ years. Goes to show you that there is no accounting for personal taste in spite of all the expert...

I use a Yorkie also, with a Hartge x cab. Everything flat & scoop maxed - unlike Nick Kay. I use the controls on my H1 Jazz to tune in. Sounds deep & rich with a nice "chunk" if you use your nails or a pick. Strings probably factor in as well, I use heavy Rotosound 77's flats.

Heavy gauge flats = deeper tone.

Never tell your girl friend/wife: "Yes shmugums, that outfit makes you look fat"

No Cuttin' Loose - James Cotton Lowdown Dirty Shame - Carey Bell Whipping Post - Alman Brothers

Heavy...

I took the pickguard off my sunburst H1 and love the look.:hyper: I would post pics but I just cannot get them to load - don't know why, but it will not work. :scowl:

...when it's break time and the guitar player beats the frontman to the mike and says: "I'll be right back!"

Has anyone got any experience with Kustom Groove 310C Bass Combo Amp? I'm thinking of getting one, but wanted some player input.

Don't cry.

Roundabout by Queen immediately come to mind. I don't understand how anybody can say that bass player was bad.

Why not design your own body shape?

Thanks for the input.

I'm standing at the verge of getting it on with a Fender fiver. Any advice re P or J?

I'm using Rotosound Jazz Bass 77's Heavy Gauge flats on my H1 Jazz. If you want deep & full, try 'em - I love them. Awsome for blues rock.

Spell snobs. Probably a real pleasure to work with. I do appreciate the relevant opinions on the question however. The drama queen, hand wringing, prima donna, frothy, wild eyed spell police can bite me.

I feel better just looking at these!

What's the difference between the NYC & Metro?

I was looking for a Badass for my Squire PJ Special, the guy in the store had no clue. I asked him to pull out a Fender catalog to show him a picture of one on a Marcus Miller or something, saw a Highway 1 Jazz sunburst, found out it had a Badass II & ordered the axe on the spot. True story.

"Well, for the novelty of it, I think you should keep the bass stock, or, at least as-is." I agree with Electra Player, leave it as is. It has it's own vibe going on, which is cool.

I was seriously considering a Redhead & now I'm slightly disappointed. I checked out that Bass player TV Redhead link & I'm not so crazy about the tone. Sounded too tight & clinical - for my ear anyway. I suppose you could dial in a more phat & thick sound? Redhead owner comments would be...

Yikes!! Have fun!

At the end of the video, the drums are being destroyed but they keep playing on a loop...

I suggest you check out the Highway 1 Jazz before you take the leap. They are killer basses - look great, play great, tons of tone.

A Jazz five string 24 fret + a SWR Redhead combo. For now anyway...

Blues, thankfully all the rooms around here are smallish - 250 seaters max. We play just about every week end - at least 2x per month. But your right 200 watts just aint enough...I'm looking an SWR Redhead 400 watts should be perfect.

What kind of strings do you use & what type of rig do you have? I use heavy gauge Rotosound flats thru a Yorkville 200 watt 1 x 15 combo with a Hartke 2 x 10 extension speaker. I am loving the tone but I'm thinking I need more watts for more headroom.

Too trebly in my opinion, but that could be what your after. I use heavy gauge flats on my H1 and there is no lack of sustain. Could be the Badass II has something to do with that. I couldn't be happier with the tone I get theses days - phat & biting.

Blues. Highway 1 Jazz burst w/Badass, no pick guard, heavy gauge Rotosound flats. Nice.
