I can't put this bass down it just has "That" sound I love it and I might have to pass on that gorgeous bass on eBay if it isn't already gone.I have to buy my parents a new television they refuse to replace a twenty year old set that has a white line running across the screen it drives me crazy and every time I come over they complain about the tv they can afford to buy two thousand tv's but they just refuse to.

I was hearing some static from the bass in active mode changed the batter to a Duracell Advanced Lithium and she's as quiet as a mouse again.

really? I didn't think a battery could effect that… I'll check it out.

Did the Kubicki Factor style strap-pegs (I assume there are 2) come as the string retainers on your 5'r? I've seen it done but have pics showing 2 standard circular types for the E/A-D/G strings.

I dont understand exactly what are u talking about!i am from greece so my english is avarage! I thing you are talking about the 2 things holding the strings e a and d g to thehead?

oh, sorry villis - I mean the black T-shaped peg that holds the E/A & D/G strings against the headstock. A standard Fender unit is a circular/round 'button' but on yours it's the same style as used on Kubicki Factors for the strap-pegs - a good design for assuring the strap stays on.

This shows how much fender had influenced by kubicki bass in order to build this awesome instrument!

Just thought I'd post this. My Jazz Plus is a colour called Midnight Wine. It can look really dark, almost black at times - and when light hits it it turns cranberry red (or wine red) It's cool that a colour can change that much depending on light.

hit by late day sun

in available light

Man is that beautiful I cant stop playing mine in active mode I don't think there is a punchier Jazz bass out there than this one.

Yeah I was surprised also I usually change the battery right away if I buy a used bass with a preamp but I didn't this time. I was wondering how has everyone set the internal mid boost control? I have mine around 10:00.

That is amazing to me the finishes on these basses are almost on another level and I think Fender put everything they had into these basses because they are something special.

 

[villis]

Yes this is a growly monster! I am thinking to try some haussel jazzbuckers on it to see how better can be

Haven't touched my imbc - if you have yours at 10:00, does that mean it goes to 12:00? ...as in, you have yours dialed w/a lot of mid-range?

If i remember right I think goes a little past 12:00 I'll have to open it up to check.
