    These any good for slap bass?
    I imagine this would play more like a gibson with that bridge design, or maybe an old style precision.

    Sorry Ben, I can't answer that, I have never learnt or played slap style. Might be an idea to ask TommyK who is selling his. He may have tried slap on his?
    The bridge is better, IMO, than the 3 point Gibson ones. Bit like Warwick bridges?
    Cheers,

    I can indeed confirm these are perfectly slappable. Sounds great on that back P'up :D

    Is going to a 62 Jazz set-up a good idea?

    Surely, I can get the soloed sounds with the standard V/V/T configuration, though, or am I missing something?

    Yeah sure you can, that's all still much the same, however, you can for example add some bridge pick up with the tone rolled off to your classic front pick up, flat out sound, which sounds really good and is impossible with the VVT..

    Not saying it adds loads... just adds another dimension whilst retaining all your usual jazz tones.. ;)

    Hey Neil.

    Good question, I have a Stacker 62 re-issue and I love it. Personally I think you can get all the usual Jazz tones and a few more besides, very versatile. You can get great Reggae sounds by backing the tone off on the front pickup and shutting down the bridge pickup altogether. Use the front pick up alone with tone control to taste and a pick for precision-esq rock tones. + Obviously with a Jazz that funk sound is only a bit of bridge pick up away...

    I have had a fair few Jazzes and this one is my favorite by some distance. People often talk about that "sweet spot" on a Jazz where you get "that" tone and extra presence If you have played one you will instantly hear it when you have it dialled in.... To me there are 2 sweet spots on a stacker though... so that's a bonus!! Pretty easy to get the hang of controls too, I guess it all comes down to personal taste really but I am quite bemused that the standard VVT setup became the norm on the jazz.... No doubt the proper Fender experts will be along shortly with a potted history of why etc....

    As always, try first or buy a secondhand control plate is the way to go I guess... :)

    Is GAS shared GAS halved?

    :lol: .... as you can see...NO! :P GAS Shared round here is the equivalent of pouring fuel on the fire.... I find Grand Wazoo is particularly guilty of this when it comes to Dingwalls... :gas:

    Got some venues lined up, once we have a good idea of how many will attend we'll announce which one. Also looking at some special guests, more details to be announced!

    Excellent stuff, thank you for this, really looking forward to it. :)

    BTW.... I only just worked out that you're now residing in Dorset sir... I couldn't work it out..... thought it was a strange and random act of kindness for someone from York's to be sorting out a bass bash down here!! :rolleyes: :blush:
