What sort of cash are we talking for a new J4 update??..Prices seem to vary.. Have seen some for 1900.00 in for sale section, but there was one J4 (M Ndegeocello,s ex bass) going for 3500.00.. My budget is £3000.00 maybe a little more

Wanted to share this. IMHO this is the best in the pocket bass playing i have ever heard.. no chops,fills,runs,, just awsome feel, electric bass..Above all,. i love her ghost/percusive notes ,,any notes she plays, are set up so well by the amazing percusive touch she has!! If you dont dig this you dont get groove..IMHO..and that Jazz sounds so good!! The best groove player alive today [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VeqnL9IO-0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VeqnL9IO-0[/url]

Hey people..I have incurable GAS for a Celinder J4...Who plays these and how good are they..Not alot of info on the site?? Tonally whats it close to?? I am very close to emailing Chris..

I have the quilted maple 4 string...Very good bass..Loads of bass for the money....Hipshots tuners, SD pups, Push pull passive/active, and a great slap switch, string through body...

Too far, or i would be there in a shot.. Julian is awsome!!!

[quote name='Ballie' post='421410' date='Feb 27 2009, 11:21 PM']Have a look at Billy Sheehan's signature Yamaha Attitude II bass! It's passive too! Be careful when deciding on a bass with active/passive switching basses. Some circuits still drain your battery even when running on passive mode, go for a true bypass to avoid it. You can have that modification put in if needs be![/quote] Great. i didnt know this.. also the battery drains,on an Active bass when your playing obviously ,,but also when you leave your 1/4 inch jack lead in when standing..even when not in use the jack plug opens the circuit, so is then using your expensive 9V..

I have to confess I never looked at the Deluxe series for if I'm not mistaken they're made in Mexico and all the standard MIM Fender's I've played felt and looked really cheap... That looks better done than my American Deluxe though, what the...? So those who have owned it recommend it both in tone and build quality? Is it made in Mexico or am I totally wrong? EDIT: Ok, that one apparently is made in Korea? One more surprise to me, I thought Fender were made in US, Japan and Mexico only... the ones from Japan were actually quite good so I'm guessing these won't disappoint... But after my experience with MIA Fender, my feeling being that all other countries with the cheaper basses have even less stringent quality control, I'm still a bit uneasy with getting another Fender...[/quote] ...Fender have had a varied rep across the board in time,i have played a early 75 jazz that was amazing, but an earlier 60's bass that that was not so good... some MIA are not so good, some are amazing.. some MIM are good and bad, from my experience CIJ/MIJ are usually very good, i generally think any bass (like my Sadowsky and Yamaha TRB6II) made in Japan, are supreme in craft..manship, they really put out quality....... Korean Jazz 24's have had quality issues..i,...by luck had a good one, and it was very good..i think for what you get, there is not a better bass but im sure there may be better(depending on mass production issues etc)..IMHO get the Jazz 24, its everything you want.. Good luck bro

[quote name='Soulfinger' post='421193' date='Feb 27 2009, 06:13 PM']Correct - the Jazz 24 is active only. The toggle switch is for a mid scoop/"slap" preset. Speaking of Music Man, there were passive basses in the SUB range as well but they are quite rare. Sandberg makes very nice basses, all of them can be switched to passive and most have 24 frets (except for the Fender-style California Series, obviously).[/quote] THIS IS NOT CORRECT! the Fender Jazz 24 has an active /passive pull switching...not the toggle..Believe me i have owned one..

[quote name='simon1964' post='421151' date='Feb 27 2009, 05:29 PM']Agreed - but the OP was looking for something which will run passive. Is there a passive option on the Jazz 24? I thought it was active only?[/quote] no it has a passive active switching..

Look no further in my opinion, Fender Jazz 24 I had one and it was a very very good bass, very growly, with a bridge pick up honk better than my 75RI..Light as a feather, quilt top, hipshot tuners, SD jazz pups, slap switch..passive active switching.. Im thinking of getting another and putting some Nordy's and an OBP3 in it.. Awsome bass for the money!!!

Superb...one of the best basses i have ever seen!!!

Just a few funny basses and guitars.. Im sure some may like the 15 string but what a stretch love the penis bass (i dont mean i love the penis)

Not sure if this helps.. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=515766"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=515766[/url]

[quote name='Golchen' post='414750' date='Feb 19 2009, 08:59 PM']I totally can't cope with single cut basses. They are just disturbing, like seeing your granny naked.[/quote] He He,, there like estate cars to me, they just dont look right..

Grrrr. im jealous!!! Really wanted to go and see the her.. do you know why she's not playing much bass live?? Hope you have a good time!!!
