Yeah, no. I'm not that good. I take the easy stuff and try to make it look difficult.
It must be contagious, I did a thing too (not that it would surprise anyone here).I may have done a thing...too.......
Seriously, a lot of it is "blues" changes based. Then there's the "modern" stuff that sounds like 4-5 unrelated solos at the same time.Yeah, no. I'm not that good. I take the easy stuff and try to make it look difficult.
She’s my best playing Jazz. Very rare Rumblefish 5L one of two made in this finish IIRC. I wouldn’t say she plays like butter, it’s much richer than that, more like warm triple cream Brie.
Studebaker. You forgot that one.

Therefore, we're all playing jazz whenever we're not.
The latter is what I can't stand.
When we're playing and someone plays something not part of the song (mistake), I tell them they were playing some jazz to show off.
People likely wish I played a lot more Jazz then."Jazz is the notes you dont play."

Thought you had a Thunderbird....
If it plays and feels like my '06 it will be a joy to play. La Bella Black Nylon (tapes) are really a nice match. Looks great with the black hardware as a bonus.
I told my SIL tonight that based on my experience with desserts, all Palestinians should be 200kg.
Yeah, oddly enough all my Js, etc. look, sound, and play like Thunderbirds.
Have you tried? Heck, even I can play jazz. Not anything you'd know, but that's half of jazz, at least.Another of my "Jazz" basses, too bad I am unable to actually play Jazz.
I'm still working on doing a thing.
One thing about my Jazz is that the trussrod is as tight is will go and if I happen to get too much neck relief in the future, I’ll most likely need to purchase another-
American Standard necks are difficult to find and the new Jazz basses have five mounting screws so my only options seem to be either get a Fender Mexican neck or go with someone like Warmoth.
So I wonder what would you do or recommend in the event I would need a new neck?
