    No you're not alone.

    A budget way of getting there for you could be a Zoom B3. There's an Acoustic 360 amp and cab simulator and a whole plethora of delays and equaliser options. I love mine.

    Dunlop Superbright steels are my favourite rounds for my P bass. Relatively inexpensive, well balanced and an easy tension.

    Kind of. The Ultralites took half a pound off exactly, Which felt like more due to the weight coming off at the headstock. Levers and fulcrums etc... Not sure what the knobs and neckplate took off but considering the stock ones were chrome plated brass, going aluminium certainly helped! It was much easier to play and therefore got used a lot more after those upgrades. Cheaper than buying a new bass and going through that whole crap shoot.

    Why not fit out your P bass with Hipshot Ultralites, an aluminium neck plate and aluminium knobs? I did this to an already light P bass and got it down to well under 8lbs. No change in tone or neck dive. Wish I'd kept it actually!

    Fixed that. 👌

    Wel jel. (as the kids say I think) Happy NBD!

    Totally understand. Burgundy Mist is a personal fave of mine too. Shell Pink if you're brave enough.

    Looks ace in black imho. 👍

    Boink!

    This! Adding 2 or three washers maybe all it needs. Worked wonders for me on an old P bass I had which had gone full banana. Try it and go for some light gauge strings too. It would be a shame to have to change anything on your old pal.

    Brilliant 😄

    This one is 34" it looks the same as the P and J in this vid, and the only scale length difference they talk about is the Mustang. Jag demo near the end:

    I find the GAS monster usually rears it's ugly head and goes berserk when I'm not playing so much. If I'm busy and happy my SX P bass is just fab.

    Looks like they want the Satriani heads to climb aboard.

    It's possible he did use rounds as he still had his Jazz bass' string mutes in situ early on. Denmark 1969 (the beginning of Dazed and Confused) -

    I read on talkbass that the walnut 70s p bass looks like it'll be a March release, according to a 'Fender rep friend', so maybe the same for the Jag? (pinch of salt for 'friends' of course)
  22. miles'tone
    Whit? Wha...? A medium scale Jaguar is coming? TAKE MY MONEY!!

    As mentioned earlier, the Squier classic vibe Mustang is a real looker imo. They've redesigned the pickup so it should sound great too.

    Indeed! I've seen on YouTube it said that the CV has a thicker neck, front to back, than a modern C. Much more of a handful than the toothpick Geddy neck then! The Super skinny neck is the only reason I've never owned a Ged. My fat shovel hands said "NO".

    Hey guys n gals. Has anyone here bought or played the Classic Vibe 70s Jazz? Nice to see the bridge pickup in the right place this time! They look great, but do they play and sound as good as they look?
