  1. [quote name='Tee' post='144358' date='Feb 21 2008, 02:28 PM']A lot of people here seem to like US Fender-bashing, i imagine due to the price tag. Yes, Japanese Fenders are built superbly but in my experience having owned both Japanese and US basses, i have to say i am a US fan.[/quote] +1 fekin agree
  2. nice on-glad you've seen the light i rekon mine is easily as good the 'ray i had previously. enjoy your new bass.
  3. [quote name='paul, the' post='144053' date='Feb 20 2008, 11:33 PM'] Not sure if you've bought one already, but I'd definitely go with a creamy/off-white/vintage white/eggshell colour.[/quote] oh thanks mate actually the missus has spotted me checking out various plates & said "what the bloody hell are changing it for i like it with the white plate on & besides which you've only just bought it,why don't you spend some money on the house for a change" oh dear me art's in trouble.again .
  4. John Paul Jones '61 Jazz Bass 'cos its his & he's a bass god + i 'appen like Fenders

  6. [quote name='lwtait' post='142737' date='Feb 18 2008, 10:56 PM']i think it looks good as it is, dont bother changing it. EDIT: if you do change it, dont go for tort! EDIT 2: by the way, what colour is that? and is it a mex standard?[/quote] aye its a Mex standard £325 new from sound control & i got 12 months 0% finance too. i think the colour is electron blue-rather nice colour is i say so myself
  7. [quote name='Hamster' post='142144' date='Feb 17 2008, 10:22 PM']Pearloid - aged, cream or smoke Hamster[/quote] after a lot of thoughti think you maybee correct-any idea were i can get one ? WD don't list 'em for an MIM. cheers.

    [quote name='NickThomas' post='142081' date='Feb 17 2008, 10:03 PM']Nice stable . 3 very different sounds I love how the vibe of the jazz bass can change so dramatically with a change in pickguard ! ( As you can see in my thread , mine has white pearloid over sunburst). Nick.[/quote] aye looks damb fine with the pearl white too

  11. oh poo ,thanks for the replies guys some nice ideas,unfortunately i'm even more confused now. have to say though a white pearloid or gold anodised jobbie sounds very nice. but where the bloody hell can i get 'em-WD don't seem to do 'em for a MIM & i'm far too thick to buy a sheet of owt & make one meself.
  12. [quote name='The Burpster' post='142005' date='Feb 17 2008, 08:00 PM']I'd say yes, but I cant work out what'd look best yet.....[/quote] now thats really helpful
  13. hi,i just bought this yesterday & i can't decide wether to change the s'plate or not. what do you guys think, what do you think would look the best, i can't decide for the life of me, heylp.

    meet the family MIA Jazz + J-retro MIM Precision - just bought it yesterday from Sound Control in Leeds Corvette active fretless
  15. cracking basses,very similar feel to a jazz bass.
  16. sh*t the bed i feel for you mate.
  17. can't be arsed reading all those pages soz if someone already said this but my all time fave has to be "Badge" by Cream i just love it.
  18. put a jretro pre-amp in it,i put one in my MIA jazz & it sounds awesome,massive range of tones available-from a fat soul to a flea style type of thing- but it still sounds like a jazz-if that makes sense. it is now the most versatile bass i've ever owned. as for the pick ups i left the std fender jobbies in.

  19. thanks for that Chris,much appreciated.i half thought that would be the case but wanted to check-can't afford to bugger up a set at that price. can't wait to here 'em-i just hope i like 'em. i just put of rotosound jazz flats on my 'vette fretless & i like them so here's hoping. cheers mate
  20. hi chaps,just ordered a set of Thomastik jazz flats for my jazz bass & i just wondered should i use through the body stringing or good old bridge tail stylee. will it make any difference which way i do it ? thanks guys.
  21. sorry chaps after much deliberation & beer i decided last night to keep this as it is the best jazz bass i've ever played,even my guitar tech,Andy Eagle,who has worked for Geoff Beck & Adrian Smith (or so he reckons )+ a few others says this one of the best jazz's he's ever seen. so i reckon she's a keeper. cheers Neil
  22. [quote name='Muppet' post='121772' date='Jan 16 2008, 11:42 PM']That's beautiful. You'll kick yourself if you get rid of it.......[/quote] thanks Muppet you know i think you're probably right-maybee i should pull this-mind this is only a feeler so i may decide to keep it.
  23. thanks guys,aye she's a beaut',i'm not shure i want rid,can't decide what to do
  24. ok here's some pics sorry for the sh*te photography-its not the camera-its the knob using it
