Welcome from a fellow newbie!

I'm guessing you can tune by harmonics. You can use the 12th fret of what is normally the e string and the 12th fret of the d. Play the harmonic on both strings. You will hear fast oscillations. Flatten the e string till the vibrations slow. When you reach the right pitch they should totally stop and you have one continuous hum. To tune back play the harmonics on the fifth of the lowest string and the seventh of the a and tune up till the oscillations stop. Hope that makes sense.

I'm liking it. Gets a thumbs up from me- post some more videos.

Are you talking about the US Standard - if so there is quite a lot of differences. The main ones being that US Standard has: Passive electronics High mass bridge Through body stringing Graphite re-inforced necks Lightweight tuners Typically an alder body (as opposed to Ash) Comes with case[/quote] Thank you alanbass. Have you tried a standard USA jazz bass and which gets your vote

I'm thinking about getting a jazz bass in the summer. What are the differences between the marcus miller signature and the standard jazz bass? Your comments are valued (unless they feature the 'word' 'lol' or excessive smileys).
