Fat Rich Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm using heavier guage fingers than I did a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1342010576' post='1727943'] This was posted somewhere recently and yes, I was able to tell the difference. *boasty* [/quote] Checking back, I see the results are up - and I did get them in the right order. If any of them had been played in isolation, I wouldn't have had a clue which they were, and I wasn't that certain about having them right.

The Dark Lord Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Played with my 2010 American Jazz at our gig last night. Black and maple, it's a looker, great build quality and very slick and easy to play. Good sound too with all of the Jazz growl - but, in a 3-piece, it doesn't seem to fill the sound out as well as my USA Precisions.

jackers Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1341928567' post='1726353'] Boing! Thump! Boom! Twang! Womb! Burp! Honk! Pop! Slap! Ping! Splurt! [/quote] Sounds like a good night out to me ...anyway... I started out on P-basses, then had an affair with a jazz (very nice it was too, and I will always keep the bass), but as soon as I got my new P-bass, I realised what I had been missing.

lowdowner Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1295049780' post='1090032'] I believe this aswell. If you can see the wood grain, so much the better, the purchase becomes even more justifiable because then you have a bass that is unique, and reminds you of home. [/quote] I have a split view about this - of course the sound is what counts, but the appearance of your bass can make you feel a specific way about it and because the way you feel affects the way you play (or, surely, otherwise you're not a musician just a technician?) to discount the way the look makes the player feel would not be sensible? I *love* the way my bass looks - as well as its sound - and this fact makes me feel differently when I make music with it. That's because I'm a (human) musician Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
