Hi there,

I have also a new Bass, that you may be interested in. Great Bass. It's a Frudua GFJ5 from Italy. Alder Body, with Mapleneck and Fretboard with White Binding and White Perloid Blockinlays. Stringspacing is 19mm. Pickups are DiMarzio. It's active/passive switchable with the Mini-Switch. Further you have Vol., Vol., Bass, Treble Preamp. The Vol.-Control from the Neck PU is push/pull and when you pull it, only the last Coil is activated, wich is in the 60s Jazz Bass Position. If you run the Bass passive, you have a passive Tonecontrol also (smaller Knob.) Hope you like it. Sounds great.

It looks like a very nice bass. Can you compare it to other basses you have played - does it hold up against a Fender, Sandberg or a Lakland ?
They sound very nice - but do they have the playabillity ?

I would see the Frudua GFJ Basses in a Row with the Lakland Skyline Series or also the Sandberg Basses. My other Axe is a Lakland 55-02 and so i think I can compare that.
I also played two MiM 5er Jazz Basses but i think the Buildt- and Tonal Quality of the Frudua GFJ Basses is by far better. Another League if you ask me.

And they're relatively cheap, right?

EDIT: Around €800-€1000. That's affordable. Only thing is that lot of things cost extra. Like fretless: €190 extra?! That's insane!

My baby!!!

Bubble Buddy!!!!! Its ok. I had Sponge Bob sheets and all last year(before I passed up the beds 5ft limit and became 5'10" and had to move into my new King sized bed) and now only have the pillow cover. Who knew Sponge Bob played sports? JK. I do still have the Sponge Bob pillow cover though. I may be 16, but I still love my self some good Sponge Bob cartoons and some meat. I just made my self hungry thinking of ribs. I gotta go.

Nice bass too.

This is my baby:
Kinda Custom Ibanez GSR200
Before
- Stock everything(not including strings)
- Ernie Ball Super Slinkies
- Adhesive bandage(don't/didn't have time to refinish)
After
- EMG PJ's
- EMG BTC controller
- EMG front output jack
- (new) Ernie Ball Super Slinkies
She runs two batteries and there's a hole where the side input used to be.

My latest acquisition.

 

[virginiacreeper]

Each bass has it's own voice/place in my world. It's really kind of strange that they are all Fenders considering my love for variety. I'll have to get another EBO, RD Artist, or Thunderbird for balance.
