  2. I've been keeping my basses at a friend's house for the past few months so Ive been going to Guitar Center two or three times a week. Played quite a few P basses, several Squier Sonics, a few of the new Fender Standard Precisions, a couple of Player IIs, and some of the American P basses, too. I'm not talking about just playing a few scales, I'm talking about playing along to my ipod, half a dozen songs or more...really getting a feel for the basses. I currently don't own a P bass, so I was getting familiar with the typical Fender stock...and I was definitely surprised by quite a few. Would've grabbed a Sonic had I found one in Graffiti Yellow. Could've walked away with a Candy Cola Fender Standard, too. The P bass has been getting the job done for over 70 years. However, I just picked up my Jazz bass last week...moved into a new place...and the minute I plugged it in I knew why it was special. Extremely comfortable, it almost plays itself, and the tone palette is truly full spectrum...the Turbo Switch is a big plus. So, in reply to the question "Jazz basses, what's the point?" The answer is simple...it's 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 than a P bass.
  3. Why Squier hasn't come out with a Sonic Jazz bass is beyond me. I'm betting they'd sell even more than the P bass.
  4. Too bad the worms didn't finish the job.
  5. Plenty of good Jazz pickups, but you want better than good, right? Dimarzio Relentless...arched tops to better fit neck radius and strings, adjustable pole pieces.
  6. Definitely one of the better finishes for the SB-2s...pearl pickguard puts it over the top. I'm betting GHS black tapewounds would look great with that maple fretboard.
  7. Trying to find the other post to see if his problem was fixed...pretty sure it was a Facebook bass forum but it's not on the Positive Grid board. I still recommend the Boss Waza-Air-B and Katana Go. I'll have to see about the PG.
  8. Second time I heard this problem. I'll only be recommending the Boss Katana Go from now on.
  9. I hate to say it, but I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who gets ripped off...in today's world where one can easily look before they leap via the internet, they get what they deserve. Right now, I own five basses, I purchased four online without being able to plug in and play first. I did it the smart way, of course.
  10. Why bother? People will buy it and say "Just bought this from AliExpress and it's worth every penny!" I'd like to post this on Talkbass, unless you plan on doing it.
  11. If it sounds as good as it looks... As for decent strings, I'd go with GHS black tapewounds.
  12. Sure, it's true, but the same can be said about P basses, Jazz basses, Rics, Stingrays, etc...you have to plug them in. The OP mentioned he'd be plugging in. Maybe I shouldn't have said "clueless" but it was the first thing that popped to mind.
  13. I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the people who find it necessary to post "You can't really hear them unplugged" and other worthless information every time some starts a thread about acoustic basses.
  14. Yes, I know, I have one of the best Jazz basses made.
