Raggy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I've got to say, that is a truly gorgeous bass. I think when you put put the j retro in you will end up with a bass you'll keep for a very long time. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 [quote name='silddx' post='1119345' date='Feb 7 2011, 07:57 PM']First time ever for me. I would, without question, never replace this bass without first trying the prospective replacement. This is the first time I have felt a deep connection with a bass. I hope it lasts. It's hard to explain, but I feel that the notes I play on it are given back to me by the bass, they don't disappear, every not I play on it brings the bass closer to me. The bass does not remain the same, we give to each other and take from each other. The bass and me are synergistic. It's harder to play than my Warwicks, it has four frets missing, it's passive, it's a funny colour, the frets are too skinny, it's completely old fashioned. But the neck is wonderful and it responds to everything I do. I realise it sounds stupid - it's wood and strings, but it's what I felt on Saturday night, and I still feel it. I truly loved my Warwicks because they were so reliable, great sounding and beautiful to play, but I never got this feeling from them. I don't get it from the Chris Squire Electra I built either. They are all tools. This is different. I wonder if the feeling will last? I've been searching for this feeling for a long time, once I realised it was possible. I had it with a guitar 20 years ago, a Aria Pro II that I modded very heavily. I wore the frets out after three years. I gave it to a friend.[/quote] Ah man it's so good to hear this. This is how I felt with the $$ after playing for about 3 hours today! Hope you have years of happiness with it and don't get tempted by something else!

Great news! We both took a risk buying basses unplayed, and it worked fantastically I did panic a bit actually in between you picking up the $$ and me getting the Jazz! Take care bud.

xilddx Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Well, well, bloody well. I am missing my Warwick Corvette $$. I'm thinking of selling this to get a recent SH one with the very shallow Jazz style neck. This 'un now has a J-Retro 01, it sounds gorgeous, it looks gorgeous, but I miss 24 frets and the Warwick ergonomics. I'm such a flake. After all the things I said about it, how amazing it is, how it speaks to me, how utterly wonderful the neck is (all true aswell) I'm missing the Warwick vibe. Never thought I would. How sad am I? f***ing sad. Edited April 4, 2011 by silddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a recent Warwick, I want the dimensions of the Jazz neck which the recent ones have. Plus, I don't really want a wood finish, I want paint! Preferably white. Don't get me wrong, I love this Jazz. I think I've gone through so much foolishness about looks, brands, daft itches that need scratching, the joy of a new bass, the lust for a good Fender, that finally I may be calming down and simply need an instrument that allows me to just express myself with the tone I want, the comfort, the set up. Sod all that other sh*t that come foremost in the mind when lusting after a new instrument. Maybe I'll end up with a Goodfellow or a Mayones, who knows?

Its better to try and not like than never try and live in denial. No big deal if the Fender is not for you. Now you know and can move forward.
