  1. Hi guys,

    New member here. I'm a pro drummer who's recently begun playing bass - i'm totally hooked! I picked up a s/h Mexican jazz bass off a friend of mine as my first bass. Really love the guitar - I think it's about 4 years old and is white. However, I recently tried out another mexican Jazz bass belonging to a friend of mine which feels much heavier in terms of the weight og the body. His is a little older (8-10 years I think) and is also in sunburst finish. I just wondered if my Jazz bass body is made of a different wood and how you think this might affect the sound (I intend to A/B it with the older model some time soon anyway, but i'm just curious). Someone mentioned that the sunburst jazz basses might be made of alder as it has a nicer grain for the finish - is that the case?

    Thanks in advance for your knowledge!

    Rich
