favorite body?

[chbecker]

Fender Jazz, Pedulla Rapture and Terri Hatcher.

Warwick thumb is a nice looking bass, but it is very, very neck heavy.

Someone asked "What's a jazzmaster?"


A jazzmaster is a guitar made by Fender in the 50's originally and has been reissued several times since. They have a picture of one on the Fender website under electric guitars. It has the smae body as a Jaguar.

So THAT's what that bass is!! I've seen James Jamerson Jr. playing one of those and I couldn't figure out what kind of bass it was.

In case anybody is interested...

Le Fay: Bad Link Removed

Le Fay is a one-man-company (Reiner Dobbratz) and is one of the most innovative and respected bass companies in Germany. He also offers hand-made standard replacement pickups which are used by several bass companies in Germany. He only sells direct on a custom order basis.
The website is in German, but I can translate it for you if you're interested in finding out more about these extraordinary basses...

Curbow Petite...carved top...mmmmmmm.
Played one. Loved it. Buying one. Maybe two.

I have agree with you 100% coyoteboy. Its nice to somebody on this board that actaully knows what a REAL curbow is.
Thats a damn fine looking(and sounding) bass. So many basses are so damn ugly these days. Can anybody say Fodera?
Those things are the ugliest things ever. I dont care if victor wooten plays them.
I bought a petite carved top 5 string about a year ago.
Im curious where you played one considering Greg doesnt sell to stores anymore. Used? If you order one be prepared to wait about 5 or 6 months. Heh, Greg told me 8 weeks when I first ordered but it, got extended greatly. I would have say it was worth it though. Dont tell him you heard that from me though!
It took me awhile to figure out that the highs need to be completely rolled off on the bass. Thats one damn bright bass. I have the full on rock wood neck and a birds-eye maple top. I will be playing these for the rest of my life.
