gsgbass

I've had just the opposite run with recent Fender Am. Std. Jazzes, and Precisions. The QC is very good, the sounds are good also. Very well balanced, and hold their intonation solidly. I can't ask for more from a production line bass.

I sold off the Fender Super Bassman head, and the Ampeg SVT-410HLF cab. Way to large, and bulky for my needs, so I bought an Am. Std. Fretless Jazz, and a Hartke HD150 Combo with the funds from those. The Hartke HD150 Combo is a really nice unit. The HD, (Hydrive) 15" paper / aluminum speaker sounds great in the cab with the 7 band graphic EQ. It also has a Direct Out, and a headphone jack.

Congrats on your new gear. A good choice!

Nice looking SG Bass.

I had a Roger Waters Precision a couple of years ago. I liked the SDPB3 pup on it. My negative on it, was the 1.75" nut, and the old style size Fender neck. A bit to big for my comfort zone size for a neck. But it was a very well made bass. Everything was a great fit on it. Fender MIM basses are fine, and well made.

I like reading that other players are buying back basses, they parted with.

Play it for a while before you start resetting the neck. It's not always necessary to do reset up when changing strings.

Wow! Those custom made PG's are great! Very Nice.

I like Olympic White myself on my Precision.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1420112976' post='2645624'] Very nice GSG, looks a cracker. [/quote] Hey Lozz! Happy New Year! Thanks All for the kind words on the Precision. I've had a few good Precisions in 46 years, but this one is the best in my opinion I've had. Playability, tone, and overall quality construction is Right On! I do favor Olympic White / Maple also. Oh yeah, Nylons Rule!

I got this Am. Std. Precision for a last new bass for my 2014 year.

Congrats on your New Bass! Best of playing with it.

Congrats on the new Am. Dlx. Jazz.

Try D'Addario ETB92 Nylon Tapewound strings. They fit most standard nut sizes. Gauges, .50, .65, .85, .105. they work, and sound great.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1418678076' post='2632319'] I dont blame you as much as AC doesn't float my boat that Jazz is really nice , I dont suppose they do a 5 string version do they? Before someone says thats a dig at AC the Marcus Miller comes in both doesn't it? [/quote] I'm not sure, but it just might.

I went back to a tube head, and a 410 cab.

I'm using a US made Ampeg Heritage SVT-410HLF, with a Fender Super Bassman on top. It balances out well.

[quote name='james' timestamp='1417824612' post='2624464'] I love the colour but I wish they had bound the neck [/quote] Yes, a bound neck would have been nice. Very good point.

This bass plays great.

[quote name='spaners' timestamp='1417199476' post='2618194'] Same strings on mine, love playing this bass [/quote] Very Cool! Good to see another player using those Nylons also.

If this one has been done before, sorry about that Chief. If you've got the blues, post em.

Congrats on the HW1. It looks great!

I'm playing my Pawn Shop Mustang a lot more than I thought i would. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/PosgD41.jpg[/IMG]
