wannabebassman Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Happy Christmas to everyone, I am just starting out on my guitar journey and already own a few non bass guitars but am drawn to the bass like a moth to the flame! I have a few friends that play and can give advice but I am looking for a Fender MIM Jazz bass to get started. No point getting anything that I will outgrow too quickly. I would like a black one with a white scratch plate. I am looking but hey no harm in letting you know. I live in Manchester, England and can pick up in a 50 radius. have a good one.

mckendrick Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 You might never outgrow that Jazz, wannabeebassman. Loads of us here didn't! And you might be needing to drop that "wannabee" bit, soon. Happy Christmas.... and welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immo Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Make sure you'll have the Mex Jazz tested and I bet you won't be disappointed! There's one in my local music store, MiM, creamy white with black scratchplate, sounds awesome, low and punchy, sort of Klaus Flouride's sound. Too expensive, though, about twice the price I'd pay on ebay.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabebassman Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well I have done it, I have bought a Fender P Bass MIM, from PMT. 10% off till 7th and Fender £33 off till 15th Jan. a saving of £70 which makes it very reasonable.

Immo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Looks nice, but in my book it just begs for customisation I've played two MiM Fender P-s that were really cool basses. Good sound and the "prestigious" Fender logo for decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabebassman Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks Immo, customisation is not on the agenda for now, one step at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) You know, I was merely thinking about a cool, tortoise shell pickguard, nice, tiny thumbrest, maybe some chrome covers, eventually a rocket launcher or two, nothing big...
