yeah they are both mexican, the duff is a reproduction of the old japenese jazz special which has a no scratchplate P bass body P/J pickups and has a jazz neck, the roger one looks like a 7o,s syle so will have a chunkier P bass neck, they both look great but id get the Duff!!! better still hang on for an original jazz special to come up, they will be far superior im sure, there was a lovely red one on sale on here a while ago i really wanted it!!!

You are right the term "keeper" is used a lot, i have an 82 squire jazz i bought it when i was 19 so ive had it 18 years next month, ive used it everywhere, mind you it did spend a few years under my bed at my mums while i travelled and gigged away as i was using various yamahas and warwicks, but these days its gettin plenty of use, it is a "keeper" i will never sell it and ive never even thought of selling it!! It must ba a basschat GAS term as i never suffered too much from gas while i was a pro player i had what i liked and used them for quite a while till something interesting came along(not that often), as soon as i got a normal job 4 years ago i had evenings to myself and joined basschat and ive been through loads of basses not as many as some mind , but my faves have been a musicman sterling (a keeper) until a ken smith came along and that definately was a keeper, i only sold it due to financial bother, if i didnt need to i would have used it for a very long time. now i have a very lovely spector. a keeper? im not sure the jurys still out but i doubt it, too much GAS!!!!!!. very happy at the moment though!! Ido know where my sterling and smith are though and i will have them back

really nice, i played a warwick streamer jazzman5 for years and always wished for a NT version id love a full on PNUT but the price is just too much!!, these look good though, although just a version of the jazzman with SD pickups, not what i expected i really just want a stage 1 with MM/J pickups a great combo!!

i thought it might have been set to self destruct- seriously though this thread has made my morning i nearly spat y coffee over the screen!! very funny, there is a small place in hell reserved for people who use mobile phones during gigs, woodwind players are terrible for it, sat in the pit between numbers texting away it drives me mad!! especially when it makes that ticking sound through my amp

Jeff Porcaro (his playing gives me goosegbumps) Steve Gadd (naturally) vinnie colaiuta ( coz he,s like god on drums ) And loads of others!!

Lots of basses in a small space means I don't hear about it from the missus too. [/quote] I still love this, but i dont have enough basses to justify it

I saw i BGM a review of a bass by kramer, it had an EMG musicman humbucker and 2 band EQ with a seperate piezo slightly out of budget at about £350 ish but a hell of a lot of bass for the money, you may get one cheaper if you wave some notes about or look for one used, but for £250 you,d be as well off getting a squire CV and getting a used circuit on here, theres always a couple floating about!

i had some EMG JV jazz pickups (the ones with the polepieces) very warm sound with a pronounced midrange, i believe modulus used them for their jazz basses, not sure if his has the EMG,S but bubinga 5 has one, and i think nordstrand do a darker sounding jazz pickup

How do you know they are doing them in mint green???[/quote] i went on their website and it showed them in both colours, anyone have any idea howmuch these are going to be, i think ill have to buy one of each and swap the necks round, and poss defet the RW one, mint green with a maple neck i have to have one (£1600 for the proper one is never going to happen for me) mind you if your going to need to get a nordstrand(fantastic by the way, my old sterling had one) and an east you may as well buy a full on ray classic.!!
