    Beautiful bass. Good luck with the sale.

    I think that tortoise shell looks awesome on black.

    I've been in the same boat and I've bought and sold loads of basses over the years - all the major brands as well as custom stuff - now I’ve whittled my collection down to two basses, a '64 Jazz Bass and a '78 Jazz Bass. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that the '78 has a lot of personal value to me, I'd quite happily stick with just the '64... mind you, I do have a hankering for a 6-string right now...

    Hi - it's not lose. It's solid but you can't access it to adjust it.

    All - here is my Fender Jazz Bass 24. I'll tell you the problem with it right away. The truss-rod can't be adjusted - check out the fourth photo below. I took it to Absolute Music in Poole for a string change, general service and set-up when I got a call saying the truss-rod couldn't be adjusted. Luckily the neck is straight, the action is low and there is no fret buzz but still, the truss-row cannot be adjusted. Everything else is spot on with it. Plays great, sounds great, etc. Check out some reviews here: [url="http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/bass_guitars/fender/deluxe_jazz_bass_24"]http://www.ultimate-...xe_jazz_bass_24[/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4127_zpsb4352116.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4126_zps1962ca32.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4128_zps82f33b22.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4125_zps0d8485ec.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/b295f0d0fc3f01ed30408ff13084dc4d_zps76a8cea3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/5c5e60cd3bc8ea47baefb7952588465a_zps2479169a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/aa93bcd9fd42349b54f7de9b20924599_zpsc18499d5.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/5da6614818846ce336f79638a9fb14ec_zps960809e5.jpg.html"][/url]

    [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1412163110' post='2566265'] Which is the best? [/quote] Do you know, I'd say from a sound perspective it's the '13 model but from a playability perspective my '64 wins hands down. It's so smooth from the years of heavy use.

    I'm pleased for you that this has sold Si... but also livid that I wasn't able to gather the funds to be the lucky person to get this amazing bass.
  21. thebassist
    What? £750!!! What is going on!!! Mind you Si - I think you're mental selling it.

    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1408524826' post='2530942'] Sounds like GAS buddy... Its a side effect of being a member of BC. The feeling that we have to change our gear for something better, even though what we have serves us perfectly well.... Having said that, the marketplace is a great place to chop and change your setup, just be careful you don't get rid of something you'll regret and can't get back later. Anyway I can't talk, I swap my stuff around almost weekly [/quote] Ha this is so bang on the money it's unreal! My first ever electric bass was an American Fender Jazz Bass my dad bought me 20 years ago. I sold it and have been through 50 plus basses since. About 4 years ago I bought an American Fender Jazz Bass and I'm extremely happy with it. So, I'm right back where I started.

    I think, but I'm by no way certain here, that Scott's signature 5-string is EADGC? I've had two 33-inch scale 5-string basses strung BEADG and didn't like either. Neither was an SD Signature but they were both pretty expensive handmade basses and the B was just too floppy on both of them for me to want to keep them. They were okay strung EADGC but I still moved them both on for 34-inch scale.

    [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1408460929' post='2530408'] Money is not an issue. I've been looking at specs and pricing a number of custom basses if I can find what I like. Out of all of them, the Scott Devine really caught my eye as the 16.5mm string spacing is the one thing I consider essential. Outside of that, I'd choose to have walnut or buckeye top (the walnut is already standard on the SD model) and I like the idea of the 33" scale length. I also like the idea of buying British. Outside of that, I would quite like the scope to have a versatile bass tonally as it will be used for reading gigs and gigs where I need to be able to play a large range of repertoire, meaning I would like a large tonal palette. As such, I'd quite like to have the 'bridge' pickup slightly closer to the bridge. Might be time to really settle on spec and get an email off! [/quote] "it will be used for reading gigs and gigs where I need to be able to play a large range of repertoire, meaning I would like a large tonal palette" Would you want it EADGC or BEADG?

    I can't believe nobody has snaffled this up. Great, great bass at a great price. I love passive Js... I really wish I had the readies dude.
