thinking about taking a punt on one of these for an upcoming project... [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250820012445&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...E:X:AAQ:US:1123[/url] my question to you guys is what do you think about that pickup position? looks a little far down to be in the sweet spot, though i guess that body shape would have a different one? is it dodgy, should i run for the hills?

what a bargain. shame they ignore us left handers

Who says you can't have both? Try a jazz with a jretro preamp, modern or vintage at the flick of a switch

Looks fantastic! What pickup did you choose? How does she sound?

The first thing you want to find out, is whether it was made for the Japanese domestic market or for export. I have an export 62 ri jazz, and whilst its a great bass and I love it, they are inferior to the non export models. For example, mine is made of basswood weras the non export ones are generally alder like the usa fenders. I'm really no expert, but that sounds expensive. A mint condition non export model might be worth that much, try and get some pics and post them here. There's some pretty knowledgeable bass geeks lurking about

welcome aboard

cheers. time to go lower the neighbours impedence by testing this sh*t out. luckily there is a wall buffer in the way

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1232352' date='May 15 2011, 07:32 PM']Your amps both have valve pre-amp sections. Now that your bass is generating a much hotter signal, you may simply be over-loading the valves. Have you experimented with placing the distortion in an FX Send/Return?[/quote] haha very observant! im actually using a peavey firebass rig now which is all solid state

my current chain is bass - electro harmonix black finger (compressor) - digitech whammy - t-rex bass juice (distortion) ill try turning the volume down though, stupidly didnt think of that.

just gave my recently j-retro'd fender jazz a whirl at band practice. the bass sounds fantastic now, but my distortion is responding horribly to it. i'v read some stuff before about people having this problem, just wondering if you guys could suggest some workarounds. or am i just gonna have to rock out with a passive bass? perhaps there are specific distortion pedals that work better with active basses? cheers

stuck a jretro in my mij jazz. amazing product, and very intuitive. tempted to hotrod my westone thunder with a u retro now...

I'm looking at getting a pickguard custom made, this place looks pretty good [url="http://www.auroraproject.co.uk/"]http://www.auroraproject.co.uk/[/url]
