What do you use for jazz?

That is a beautiful bass.

I've been using either my 4 or 5 string Precision. I have a Squier JB fretless that I have not been able to really get on with. It may be the bass, probably more the player. I should work it for a month, before I really pan it.

DB for straight-ahead jazz, Turner RB-4 fretless for fusion.

 

[pan1k]

upright all the way.

 

[Marty Forrer]

Upright only.

love that bass.

Yeah, I do too. So much that I've got a Deep 4 that should show up next month. I have played upright in the past but frankly from a functional standpoint the RA wins hands down. While no "electric" has the same physicality of playing an upright (which I love to do), the Deep 5 is easier to play, easier to haul, and sounds better (imho) than any amplified upright I've owned or played. The only way it loses is with bandleaders who insist on "the look" of an upright.

Can you post a pic of this? I've always wanted a bass like that!

I will post pics up soon. Honestly its awesome to have it like this. Going to add a humbucker in the neck like Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam soon too.
