I had a pair of custom wound jazz 5 string pickups plopped into my old sei jazz, very very nice indeed- thinking about getting a set of 64's for my geddy lee

PS - this is fully up for sale now- I'm after £475 cash (no offers) - or a trade for a markbass LMK- -
[quote name='rockinbassman' post='28271' date='Jul 7 2007, 12:18 PM']Hi Russ its Paul, your bro was over Wills the other night saying you were about to pick this up! Sounded like you would never sell it! You all good?[/quote] Hi Paul, I'm good mate- you? It's a great bass but I find I use it in passive mode all the time anyways- I've just this sec bought a secondhand geddy lee jazz from Gak, more what I was after really. They're both very similar but I wanted a passive tone control and didn't want to butcher the marcus ;D what are you playing nowadays? still got the sterling? r

That's cool- nothing major at all there. I'm still deciding what I'm going to go for but will let you know when I've made up my mind ;D cheers Jamie! R -
Hi again, could you go into a tad more detail about the wear/knocks on the neck for me, sorry to be a pain ;D Thanks matey! Russ

This is one hell of a bass- This is a sunburst one and has had the bridge replaced with a 70's reissue bridge- sounds and feels excellent. REDUCED TO £450 passive mode is excellent as is active mode- volume between the two is very close so it's easy to flick the switch over if you want to kick in a bit of a bass boost etc- when used carefully the preamp is brilliant. The bass is light and comfy and has a great neck, better than the Geddy in my opinion. Cheers! Russ russfcox- at -gmail -dot- com

[quote name='nottswarwick' post='27095' date='Jul 4 2007, 06:49 PM']cool, my options are stacking up and I will get back to everyone ASAP. Russ, have you got a HS or HH? Does it really do the jazz bass sound? I need something that will give a deeper sound than a normal ray?[/quote] As far as the both pickups on full sound goes- yes, but with a twist- it's clearer and deeper but still very much single coil- check out ed friedland's demo of the 20th anniversary SR5HH on you tube- that vid sums the bass up perfectly. I took one of the pickups in my SR5HH out and they're only dual coil so no chance of a noiseless single pickup single coil mode as with a single pickup SR5 Try one out if you can r

[quote name='Marcus' post='26841' date='Jul 4 2007, 08:11 AM']PM sent[/quote] I'd seriously recommend you try to find a HH or HS SR5- I reckon that would suit you down to the ground- They do a really good jazz impression, it's proper cross between an SR5 and a Jazz. I had a lakland 55-02 but the SR5 HH does the best of both worlds thing WAY better and in a 34" scale.

'Vintage' stingray copy 5 string- heaviest bass I've even owned yamaha bb404 - not bad, uninspiring Warwick streamer standard single pickup - I loved this bass so much, really wish I could buy it back Warwick corvette proline (wenge neck) - wasn't actually a proline, the bass cellar ripped me off- it was just an ash bodied standard- sh*t bass Fender Jazz 4, sunset orange, maple neck - my first 'proper' bass, traded to flanker in px for a sadowsky 5 Fender usa deluxe jazz 5 - stunning but B was lacking slightly Hohner fretless - crap Jazz copy fretless - heavy Sadowsky tokyo UV70's 5 string - wicked bass MPG Level 5 - wish I still had this Lakland 55-02 - great bass, heavy Shuker jazz 5 - just wasn't me, went back to jon Musicman Stingray 5 1994 - Buying this was a real wake up. Stunning bass, best low B of anything else I've owned- got an ebony fretless board put on, it made a stunning fretless. Sei Jazz 5 - beautiful, what a neck Sei Original 5 - again, beautiful- awesome bass. Musicman Stingray 5 HH - The best bass I've owned so far- I missed my old SR5 so much I bought this. It just works, everything is spot on. Sounds so good recorded and in a band. Marcus Miller Jazz 4 - bloody excellent bass, really enjoying having a jazz 4 again.

after buying a marcus miller 4 i'm well and truly back into jazz basses- I'd love 70's jazz- sunburst, maple neck w/pearl blocks, black s-plate.
