[quote name='Jerry_B' post='788029' date='Mar 27 2010, 05:16 PM']Anyone actually like the Jazz for it's looks alone? I know I do. That asymetrical body shape, the metal plate blended with the pickguard. Very nice! I just wish that they naturally had a bit more grunt - but that can be remedied with dirtier pickups [/quote] Well ido..i think the shape is what a bass should look like, as well as a P bass..i love the chunky shape and dont like the downsized bodies..then again i love an F Bass shape...i just think most bass luthiers take there shape from Fender and do it different...

lighter, more attack, brighter..no acoustic qualities ive heard...think you have to chamber the whole body for acoustic resonance

Im there.not sure which yet though...would be a great weekend....anyone else attending this? [url="http://www.greenwichbeerandjazz.com/bands.htm#"]http://www.greenwichbeerandjazz.com/bands.htm#[/url]

seems like Fender have finallly realised that they need to raise there game!! long time coming seeing as lots do there thing better...lets see what the new pre is like.... I may have new gas for a Deluxe 5 Jazz...when are the basses on there site?

a bit of 80's groove one of the most underated bands IMO.... awsome i think! Me and my sister saw Ben the singer on the Kings Road in London in an unfortunate state...hope he is doing better now...

I think you have to experience a Fodera, Sei, Smith etc, to know what MIGHT, be missing from a bass of lesser value..it also comes down to how the bass is set up..personal tone preference is a big factor also..there are so many variables in an instrument...

oh dear!?

[quote name='WarPig' post='781177' date='Mar 20 2010, 09:24 PM']75 RI Jazz, natural, maple with black blocks, spotted it in an old fender catalogue, havnt forgotten about it since.[/quote] Just make sure you if you get one its a goodun..mine was a turkey

Oh Jen..my first ever..well not ever... and then the bass

[quote name='Hot Tub' post='779273' date='Mar 18 2010, 11:14 PM']With that budget, you need to take a day trip to Bass Direct here in Warwick. Trust me. [/quote]+100...wish i lived in Warwick..god i would annoy Mark

It is really depressing what basses like this go for nowadys..they are worth so much more....

do you want new or used/new to you Arron.. there are sooo many bargains to have on the for sale section here... i wasnt keen on Fender when i first started buying basses, i thought they were to 'obvious'...but i saw the jazz light..prob not the best for bottom end mind.... you got a good budget to get a great bass there...Lakland are awsome IMO..i take it looking for a 4 string...what about a 44-02 or a Fender P Bass..For £1000 you can get a world class instrument second hand..i got my Sei Jazz 5 for a shade over that and there well over £2000 new... My Stingray5 had a massive bottom end... i also suggest a Gibson Les Paul...bloody huge bottom end power like Rich said you should take a few ideas and go and try as many basses as you can...it really is the only way to find an instrument your happy with...you may have to travel a bit to try them out, but if your spending £1000 its prob worth the effort.. happy (envious shopping)..
