I'm after some of these - AG 6J-HC - Apparently superb - expensive though

Very nice.

Hi Molan - you got a spare 3 then?

And have you guys got one any of the AG 6J-HC pickups?

I like it unmastered personally

I've got a bass that that requires some mods - anybody got some recommendations?

Anyone used them here?
any good?

ACG do their versions of those Gwizdala/Garrison 24/26 fret, 33 inch scale, single cut, 17.5mm bridge spacing basses and they're a fraction of the price...

What you ordering?

Wow great looking bass.

Gutted it got blowtorched - I've been after one of these for about a year now. I've seen three P bass versions but not one jazz.

Bournemouth - I could try a local luthier but didn't know if there was anyone on here that specialises in stuff and has a good reputation.

Anybody know a contact who can make me a nut - it would be for a 5 string bass requiring EADGC tuning.

Hm those standards look interesting - and very good value too.

Can anyone recommend a 5 or 6 string, 24 fret jazz style bass up to £1500?

You getting it Si?

Perfect. A real players bass.

This is the one you sold right?

In answer to the original question - it would definitely seem that some people think so.

We've had a 'run' on them at the shop since this thread started and we have sold a new Emperor Standard 5, a pre-owned Emperor Custom 4, sorted an order for a new Matt Garrison Standard 5 and it looks like an Emperor Custom 5 is going through as well!

I liked the Emperor 4 custom you had - well, I liked the way it looked anyway - had it been a 5 or a 6, I'd have been interested in that one. I would like to try a Fodera but I'd only go second hand because of the amount of money I'd lose when I moved it on. And I'm 99% sure I would move it on eventually - all but two of my basses have been sold on in the end.

I wouldn't bother with them to be honest, especially as like me too, you admit you've always been a bit of a snob.

You'd still get hit for Import Duty and VAT bringing it in yourself, though...what you're saving is the shipping element.

You'd only get hit with import duty/VAT if you declared it or got caught though right?

Woah beautiful! Did you get that beauty recently?

Ah shame about the Rotosounds. They're my go to standard strings. I had the exact bass you've got and will get that exact one again. Sunburst/rosewood - perfect.

I love your Jazz dude. I think I'm definitely getting another one now!

Fender modern player jazz 5

Does anyone have or know anyone who has got a Steve Bailey Fender Jazz Bass? Wow!
