    @steerpike65Simon just visited to buy my Bravewood Jazz -  not an easy bass to let go of, so glad it went to one of the good guys.

     

    We’d been communicating for some time, while I decided whether or not to sell, and all the time Simon was friendly and easy going. Highly recommend guy to deal with. 
     

    Enjoy the bass 👍

    Its lovely.

    Can't decide between it and tectonic blue sr5

    Not an easy choice, completely different animals in terms of tone and feel (aside from the obvious that one is a 5er 😂). But both will be a great purchase for sure.

    I seem to remember someone here selling 2 of their jazzes to the bass gallery, I can’t remember who, was this one of them , also does the G string look close to the edge of the fretboard or is it the picture angle .

    If you trace the string back to the bridge saddles, it looks like it’s perhaps had a restring but they haven’t lined up the strings properly on the saddle slots. Could be a bit of camera angle too 👍

    Don’t get me started on collecting more basses Andy👍😂

    If you need space, I’ve got a huge crush on that sunburst 62 type... 😍😍😍

    Thanks for that @drTStingray lot of good info to think about. Might head into Glasgow Guitar Guitar for a wee test run on some of theirs.

    Those are some tasty basses in your signature, wonder if that ‘high end appreciation’ will have you drawn to the US ones? Unfortunately always happens to me 😂

    Do you have a supportive partner and is it important?

    My wife just has to put up with my GAS and BC, and she does pretty well to be fair, often encouraging me when I’m not sure to buy.

    I stopped playing out in around 2008 due to a chronic health issue. At the time my then partner was upset saying ‘because of your health you burn yourself out playing, and all I get is what’s left of you after’. Because I was so driven to play and struggling with the life changes occurring, her words didn’t mean much to me, especially as we were growing apart anyway. But I get it now, and fair enough to her -  I would never do that to my lovely wife, even if she said she was fine with it.

    I think I need to realise that a Jazz isn't a P Bass, so stop trying to use it as one and don't be disappointed when it doesn't sound like one too. 

    I've restrung it with DR Sunbeams and the round wounds make all the difference for me and it fills that gap sonically that I didn't have with my other basses. 

    So I now have a P Bass with flats, a P Bass with rounds, a Fretless and a Jazz. I think that should do me for a while at least. 

    I doubt it’ll be for a while, but I’d not give up hope that one day I’ll find that Jazz that feels like a keeper. I love what a Jazz can do, just can’t find one that speaks to me like my old ‘64 did - I sold it to help buy my flat 🤨
