But, he has a wife and family! It's a little difference to being single or having a partner who could wait or come with you.

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...

Higher Ground by RHCP, and Stairway to Heaven.

I'd still like to know why instruments such as this, with obvious chipping and some (others) are practically falling apart, are apparently "worth" so much?

Hmm, daimn! I was tossing up between the fralins and antiquity IIs and i ended up buying the fralins. Am now thinking the 60s custom shops will be a good alternative to the antiquity IIs when i'm ready to go that route ;)

I know what you mean. Occasionally, i find myself playing, and it actually sounds like somebody else playing! I've almost learned "is this love" by Bob Marley.

Fender Custom '60s Jazz Bass pickups: Invalid Link Removed

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...

I'd get a MIM Fender. About $400.00 in your country :p

Awesome... I'm lovin' "Bubba and Booze" ;)

This is a ridiculous poll... I will not participate!

What sort of pick-ups would you recommend then Nev? Maybe something responsive? I think the MIA ones are too tame. smcd, lol.. To clarify the random tones statement, i don't mean random notes, i mean there are variations in tone sometimes that make notes sound sightly out of tune. Thought it...

I just had a little tinker on my SB and *bham*, you don't have to strike the strings hard at all to get an a relevant tone out of it, which is an advantage. However, you fail to get that warm, really FUNKY, grindy tone out of it, which is what most bass players want eventually. So, flexibility...

I guess i mean it's pretty sensitive to finger pressure. I know this could be a technique problem, but the active bass seems super sensitive to any variation in finger tone, which could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on genre. When i play my active SB through headphones, it is...

Why does everybody say that? Some people miss out on learning. You are assuming that each thread on the same topic will get the same responses, or that the same users that were around when old threads were created, might still be around. It's a pretty limiting attitude, there is always room for...

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...

I think you could seriously try to add it to your basket for $0.00. Chances are, they'll either check the price or not. Worst case scenario is you make a joke of it and say "just thought i'd try my luck". Go on OP, do it.

My goodness... that woman has a voice :)

Thought you had a buyer lined up? I guess my money's not as good as everybody else's :ninja:

Hey mate, I think you've got to do what feels right at the time. If it feels right to sell all your things, for whatever reason, then maybe you should do that. You can always buy them back later.

I don't like him anymore, jealousy's a curse :hmm:

I just took the vol and tone control plate off my mia and realised that pup replacement by me is far too complex a process. I will need to pay somebody to do it and when my hip pocket nerve is effected, i sit up and take notice! I will be getting some Fralins or Antiquities, the decision is made.

Okay, so i'm getting the idea that they may implode or melt down after a short period of time? I actually like the sound of them. But, then again, i like the sound of Fralins and Antiquities...

Sorry, forgot to mention i'm interested in J pickups. walterw: Well, i'm interested in tone, so if these are equal to the "real" Duncans in terms of quality and tone, then i'm in! If the "real" Duncans are better in terms of quality and tone, then i'd probably consider them. Did you mean...

I've got to say, i find it a little distasteful that this guy is selling off all of his stuff if it was endorsed. For example, Lakland is a great company, which endorses artists periodically. I know plenty of people who would give their right arm to receive a Lakland bass for free, and...

Hey, Does anybody know whether you can buy Duncan Design PuPs aftermarket? They come as stock with some of the Squiers.

I'd say leave it. Let him try to sell it to somebody else in this market.

Were we able to ascertain whether there is any neck dive? So, it's 'classic C shape' at the back of the neck (after something that's slim profile at this stage :()? Is it a gloss finish at the back of the neck?

Is the bass still for sale?

I'm just thinking, have more pride in yourself. You are what you think. And, also, when standing with a bass, make sure you put your shoulders back and try to over-emphasize your posture.

Haha, sorry about that. I just edited it to make more sense. It's late and i'm sleep-deprived ;)

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...

Well, i did say a "Warmoth" and i did say "J bass"! The quotes i got were significantly more than the figures you have rattled off :rolleyes:. But, anyway... Peace. It's no biggie ;)

Ahh, excuse me?! You have the body which is about $300, if you're lucky. You have the neck, which is about $395 (if you're lucky)... And, how do you think the thing is going to 'play'? Will it just play itself, the wood and glue? No, you then have electronics, machine heads, the bridge, nut...

Thanks everyone ;)

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...

Yeah, but the difference between Ga Ga and Madonna is that Ga Ga makes herself accessible. Madonna just puts herself up on a pedastool and says, "look everyone, aren't i great?". Ga Ga is inclusive in her performances, Madonna is not as much. That is why Ga Ga is working and Madonna isn't at the...

Imo, i think a Fleabass is an beginners / advanced beginners bass. As Kwesi suggests, they are not that well made. However, they are easy to play, in terms of the weight and neck. So, to answer your question, it depends on where your learning is at. If you've been practising on a so/so bass for...

I sent you a PM. Are you interested?

If it had a slim profile neck (not C shape), i'd be all over it.
