Not your Daddy'd Jazz

Just thought I would post a picture of my beloved Soul V with triple pup config and CAR micro prism flake finish. It is my go to bass and like Superman its impervious to the elements.

Hey some of you might of played a few of the basses at last years
International Bass Day GTG here in New York. I hope to show a few this year as well.

I am a big believer in what Heiko is offering for today's working bass players. The tone is organic and the fundamentals of the instruments are strong, clear, and consistent throughout the entire bass!



Disclaimer

I do help Heiko and Greg here in the US facilitating instruments moving around the country.

Duh....:rolleyes:
Do you have ANY idea what that is? Didn't think so.
I am more confused about what you even mean by "that."

If you mean the Soul V, I am sorry I called a boutique bass a "Jazz copy."

If you mean the pickguard, I meant "one-piece" as in it incorporates the normal Jazz control plate. And I don't think solid, non-layered pickguards are ever referred to as "one-piece."

Dude. It isn't even REMOTELY a
"Jazz copy." Completely different animal.
 
Almost makes me want to waste $4k.

you don't have to waste $4k, you could buy a basslab instead. that way, you don't waste your money, but get a bass that's really better in every sense.

no neck dive, no deadspots, no heavy weight on your shoulders, no changing neck warp.
and the sound is incredible rich, it has a lot of low frequencies, there is a nice crisp high register, and that growl that people sometimes call a "woody tone".
but unless you try one and experience what i mean, you will think that i'm one of those touting basslab....

last year at musikmesse frankfurt, i heard a black basslab soul IV being slapped. it was a very nice slap sound, punchy, with a nice high end. then i realized, it was fretless !
i couldn't believe it was a fretless i was listening to.

I use "waste" to mean "spend a large amount of money in one place on a luxury item," nothing derogatory.
 
I know its been a while, but to the op, you can buy a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter and plug it into the aux in to the mac and record it in garage band. I think there are tutorials. once you do that, you can send it to i-tunes and make it a mp3 and upload it to a website.
