Search for vintage acoustic heads 220 & 370 come to mind, their cabs are also usually pretty low priced and sound huge. Try Hartke lh500 & lh 1000, clean loud head room you can add pedals to get that fuzz or dirt. Find anything from Sunn. Search for folded horns if you're doing big outdoor...

Aguilar TH 350 and Hartke LH 500 Mostly from reading and style of play I've found these two amps within my budget will fit. Ampeg PF series was in the run for a long while during the research, but I've been scared out of it by the unreliability was looking at the PF350 and their flip top 210...

Thanks chap. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Around 1/4th of the cost and they've gotta be buying in bulk getting better deals.

I'm surprised at the cost of the Radial JDI. With a look inside, there is no way the components could cost up to 200 buck, could it? Still, I'll be getting one.

Acoustic fan, so I'd vote those. 361. :)

Haha! I am concerned that it is a string through. Good info about the highway1. Ah I see! Haha all good. Aerodyne looks cool and I'm sure sound great the p sound I'm not so much after either. The basswood body for me seems redundant. I have a Japan jazz that has a basswood body already so...

Also this one just poped up: fender american vintage 62 jazz bass custom relic custom shop pickups with hard case $900.00 Looks off, not sure why there are three knobs on the control plate and no outputjack. Super weird. Looks like it's using the stacked knob control plate for some reason.

There just aren't any road worn jazz's around right now unfortunately, that's my first choice. Lost two by a few hours they were going for 600 and 750. They were the red ones. This 1993 made in japan 62 reissue jazz bass with Fralin pickups just came up today priced at $725.00, thoughts...

Isn't it? Why do you say that A Step Towards? Don't tell me you're looking at these too!!! Haha. Good info on the american standard, thanks. Looks like I'll be hitting up the other two players and see what I can do price wise.

That's good news about the price on the american jazz. I'm a bit concerend that the american jazz is string through though, haven't heard back from the seller. I've read that most american standards are made this way now a days.

hate to make a thread like this but i'm really torn on what to offer and what's fair market value. i know i know search and find info on the models, did that and feel comfortable with that end. price is now what i'm worried about. What i'm looking for is a jazz bass with the old school...

Perhaps those who go on about resale value, shouldn't play in the first place. Minds corrupted by greed and superficial beauty. On a cool note. Everyone go practice your playing and reading. You're welcome.

Doesn't matter because an instrument isn't about looks. It's about playability, attachment, and sound.

Hey everyone, thank you for your guy's input and the length you all have gone into detail helping me understand my problem and how to resolve it. Finally after a few months of frustration. I've resolved it. I took the neck off and took off the truss rod nut. Let it set for a few days. Then...

Thank you. Will go with the washers for now. Would I need a different size for a Japan bass? I'm hoping it's just stuck, and have it be a low cost fix / something I can do. I really hate bringing an instrument to a shop. Never feels right. Notice you're in California AndyPanda, do you know of...

Ah I see. Okay. So my truss rod isn't working correctly. It feels tighter than hell, would it be safe to vice grip it and keep turning with mass force? Now I understand why the heavier strings wouldn't work and would make it worse. Cool. Thank you so much AndyPanda. Washers are something I'll...

Okay. Hotbass57 I know that. This is my predicament, respelled out. When I loosen the truss rod nut, it gains relief. Good, Checks out. When I take it all the way off, it's at max relief. Good, Checks out. When I put it on and tighten it, it straightens the neck. Good, Checks out. Then when...

Not sure how more clear I can be.

Possibly not, but it feels like it's maxed out. I physically can't turn it anymore. Todd and Taff, you two are saying the lighter gauge set of strings will give me more tension and straighten the neck while a heavier set would give me more relief and less tension? My neck starts off straight...

So I've got a squire japan jazz bass, 86. With out strings the neck is straight. The truss rod is maxed out as far as possible. With strings, nickle round wounds, there is too much relief and I need to get the string height quite high to make it playable on the upper frets which would be around...

Not sure why. I love how they sound. Got one not too long ago, about a year now. Getting in lots of good work and put through the paces. This set up doesn't lack anything. They're not that heavy either, and load/unload super easy. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Seems pretty cool.

Ah okay. I've read most if not all threads about them haha. Maybe I'll be able to come across a nice one sometime. This has plenty of power, I'm fine with this rig for life pretty much. Thanks for your replies and help lfh!

Nice basses guys! Love seeing them haha. Really enjoy the sound, so I don't plan on changing them. Just thought I'd get some ideas about it. If you like what you got, why try to fix it right? Good to hear they're of vintage standard sounds, because that's what I wanted haha. I do like the...

Got a new bass and have just set it up and customized it to my liking. It's my first one and there hasn't been any other bass that I just needed to have before. Simply borrowed friends instruments previously. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] 1987 Made in Japan Squire by Fender Jazz Bass...

Thank you! Wanted to get a 406 cab for this head because it would be the correct set up, but such a deal on the 215 BX cab, couldn't pass it up. I think the 215 BX has the EV drivers as well. Really cool high end coupled with the lowend mids 18" driver in the 301 cab. Was thinking of completely...

Needed a bass rig and not liking what a lot of stuff in music stores have. Went the used route and picked up a nice rig. Total cost was 500 bucks, fit my budget well. Acoustic 220 amp Acoustic 215 BX cab and an Acoustic 301 cab Sounds nice full round. Can get the amp is do some nice...

How's everyone doing this new year? Been lurking and browsing the forum for a few months. Decided to join the fun. Been playing bass for six months now and joined a band. I'm into Blues and Classic rock. Based in Los Angeles and touring around since I've joined No Jet Left...
