What's your favorite jazz bass???

[capnsandwich]

With all the Fender Jazz clones out there, Sadowsky, Low End, Alleva Coppolo, Mike Lull, etc., which one's your favorite? If you have pics, post'em.

I love my Valenti J5 but this past weekend I was turned on to a couple Low End Jazzes that really rocked my socks off.

I do not own any of the above mentioned brands, but Sadowsky looks like something i'd love to own, as well as a Valenti.

I prefer the Sadowsky Metro, followed by the Lakland USA JO.

as much as I'd like to try a Sadowsky someday (maybe at the upcoming Bay Area GTG?), I'll have to say that my favorite jazz is the one I built out of parts. A MIJ 62 Reissue body and neck, audere pre, hipshot tuning machines, dimarzio neck model J, ultrajazz bridge... 9.6 lbs

I think he's got it up for sale too. I saw it the other day but I don't know if he's still got it.

I'd love to get my hands on a lowend bass

I have had multiple Jazz basses over the years and currently own three. Fender Geddy Lee (awesome) and the Fender Jaco (sweet) but I have to say the best overall is the one David Certain built me last year. It is beautifully built, not a flaw that I can find, Olympic White with matching headstock, maple neck with a slab rosewood 22 fret board, Gotoh vintage reverse tuners and very cool Varitone. I have used this bass extensively in the studio and gigging it blows people away especially in the studio.

Trace Elliot T- Bass hands down!!! Kills every other J-Clone I ever played (I played a lot!) Absolutly SUBLIME!!! I dont even turn on the pre most of the time! The Lull is also pretty fantastic! Im also really partial to old(real) Schecters, Ibanez & ESP's Definate Fender killers! My ESP J-Four with the Audure is pretty scary to play.. Sometimes I walk thru the room & I can swear it eyeballing ME!!!

I love my Sadowsky Metro. It must be a "super metro" as it blows away any other Jazz style bass I have ever played including my Sadowsky NYC. It is truly amazing.

My favorite Jazz bass is the Fender MIA, but my favorite clone is Sadowsky.

Another parts bass!! I've owned and played many but I doubt I would ever part with this one. Kubicki body, OLD Warmoth neck, EMG's, Bart pre, Badass, Reverse Tuners and Fatbeams The bass was assembled and finely tuned by Steve Dvorak.

Roger does make a good Fender knockoff!

I'd go with Alleva Coppollo closely followed by Fender american dlx.

My 1964 Fender Custom shop Jazz bass relic. It has twang! Especially with a nice fresh set of DR low riders on it. It's a great weight at 9lbs. Has nice low action. And it looks really cool on stage. I have not recorded with it yet but I know it's going to sound awesome when I do.

It looks classy, that's for sure.

I can get used to pretty much any jazz, so its really whatever im playing lately. They are all great. I tend to like the fender-y tone best, though.
