Why Are My Tastes Soo Backwards???

hey, that sounds alright to me!

 

After experimenting with the cutting edge of woods, electronics, and construction methods, I went back to square one myself. I still love the unique approaches and new ideas, but I like the basics when I'm on the stand and someone counts to four.

Count me as one kindred soul

 

Bottom line is it's still a plank of wood.

Simple is good.

 

I'm pretty damn conservative myself. Mostly becasue I don't like active electronics (although two band Stingrays seem kinda sexy), maybe I'm nieve, but I figure my amp has plenty of eq on it.

 

My Fender Roscoe Beck 5 (basically a Jazz bass plus) has an alder body, and my Lull P5 (P-bass clone) has an ash body. So, maybe I'm weird too... I can live with that.

 

recently back to the bass and after trying for some sort of i think "hi fi" i'm back to fender jazz fretless 4 string with thomastik flats, same on my warwick 5 and i'll probably try to move that ang get a jazz 5.

i'm "home again"

so many people like 'em cause they just sound good.

tube front end amp, 12" or 15" speakers (10 if you need the slap) for me aggie and mesa

you found the sound, enjoy!

i'm in and out of the city, i'll give a holler next time through and say hi

kindly

Dude, I went through just about every highend bass out there. Warwick, Lull, Modulus, Acacia, Eshenbaugh, Zon, Roscoe, Stingray 5, Lakland, Warrior, etc. My main bass? A '75 reissue Jazz bass!

 

These wood combinations have lasted for a reason - they sound good and do it for a lot of people. It just happens that they do it for you too.

My No. 1 is an alder/rosewood RB5 and my No. 2 is an ash/maple Marcus Miller Jazz Bass. I guess I can join the club.

 

I think I'm weird because I go thru basses more often then most people change their underwear.

P.S. I tend to like Ash bodied Jazzes. Fretboard really doesn't mater.

 

I love my alder/rosewood jazz, my main bass for many years. It sounds better than the Cirrus that let it retire from workhorse duty.

 

I went through so many high end basses just to find myself back to a fender jazz & I could not be happier.

It was a good learning experience, but when I think of what I could have done with that money....Doh!

 

I dunno. For me it's all about Jazz 5's with Maple fretboards with blocks and binding and Ash bodies. Makes me weak in the knees. Outta control.

 

An alder/rosewood Jazz is a thing of beauty.

 

I looove the way my Ash/maple Lakland 55-01 looks. It's all a matter of taste.

 

Well. My Elrick has a swamp ash body maple neck and bubingo fretboard... and I think it looks and sounds great
