I was planning on buying a fender C jazz neck, got my eye on one

ooh it’s sounding promising, might have to source a new neck… I know who to message if I mess it up then!

sounds good, I assumed it’s not gonna be a perfect fit and something would need to be sanded. I reckon I could have a go and take it to a pro if/ when I mess it up. Just thinking neck angle, am I looking for flat 180 or do I need a bit of a slant

Hi, so I’m worse than useless when it comes to anything to do with making or creating things but I’ve always loved my jazz bass neck but I’m a big fan of the precision body. I’ve got a squier p bass which I like but don’t get along with the neck, so the question is would it be possibly to just bolt a new fender jazz neck to it? I’m not sure if I’d need a shim or anything and I don’t particularly wanna buy a new neck for nothing. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

passive fender jazz

thanks man, yeah I was experimenting with the EQ that’s not how I gigged it lol. When I say brand new speaker the guy I bought it from told me it was brand new which may have been bs of course. Might be a job for a tech I think

hi, so my ‘trusty’ trace Elliot AH350 head and 115 cab is pretty much my dream rig (except maybe getting an SVT/ barefaced combo) and I thought I’d take it out for it’s first gig a few weeks ago and it sounded very very quiet, even the guitarist was telling me to turn up! The soundguy kept turning me up during soundcheck because apparently I was getting quieter and quieter throughout. It’s a hybrid solid state- valve head (I think?) so my first thought is the valve is dying and needs replacing. Second thought is my cab speaker is going but it’s a brand new celestion 400w so shouldn’t be. Any advice or tips on what to look for? Cheers

so I’ve heard good things about laney guitar amps but I can’t really find anything on their bass amps. I’ve seen a few really nice looking laney bass amps (heads mostly) for good prices, I was particularly interested in a laney linebacker 100 bass head but I’ve never played through one or even seen one! Anyone point me in the way of any demos or know anything with a similar sound? Thanks

thank you all for your replies so far, the only way I can really demonstrate is in a song my band released (I promise this isn’t shameless self promotion). https://on.soundcloud.com/VvfJAhhy9HKPEa2S8 if you listen to the very beginning of the song and in the verses you can hear the ‘knocking’ sound I’m talking about. I realise that it was probably stupid to to include an example in the first place lol.

so I’ve been playing my fender jazz MIM for about 2 years now and it’s always made a strange sort of ‘knocking’ sound when I play, it’s even worse when I have distortion on. I’ve tried lowering the pickups as I thought that was the problem but it hasn’t helped. I’m fairly sure they’re stock pickups but the bass is a bit road worn so I’m not overly sure. I play fingerstyle and the knocking is much less noticeable when I play with a pick which makes me think it’s something to do with my technique maybe? I’m guessing I just need new pickups but I’m not sure, any advice would be greatly appreciated

recording this weekend, first time using an ashdown but I’m very impressed
