Dandelion Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I am not a fool..... Jazz basses are heavier because they have more tone in them, hence the extra knob which lets the extra tone out, A jazz bass without knobs will quicky become hazardous, a bit like a pressure cooker.

Dingus Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) It's certainly not just Fenders . I've been looking at the weights of all kinds of boutique Jazz basses and they do tend towards being significantly heavier , on the whole .

Ziphoblat Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I've owned three Fender J's (maple board AM standard, rosewood board AM standard and a MIM 70's reissue) and one Fender P (US standard). The Precision was heavier than any of the Jazz basses. Still had nothing on my Stingray though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I consider anything below 9.5 lbs, light. If its lighter great but at the end of the day unless its 6lbs after an hour its still going to cause strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have tried a few Jazzes from the same period of my 1970s Precision and didn't notice much of difference. Gibson EB3s and Thunderbirds though are on a different level entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] For once I have a legitimate question about basses that I want to find an answer to and very quickly the whole degenerates into tits and arses . I suppose I only have myself to blame . Carol did indeed win Rear Of The Year , but I have long suspected that competition is rigged . If they were judging based purely on size and overall mass then Mrs Dingus would be in with a shout of winning it every year , but she has yet to be nominated .

[/quote] I have very serious doubts about Ms Vordermans credentials as a genius - she scraped a third class degree in engineering at Cambridge , which supposely makes her the Einstein of daytime t.v - but of other assets I am truly in awe . As I previously mentioned , I met her a couple of times back in the 1980's when she had short hair and she was fairly attractive but I would never have thought she would go on to become a sex symbol , but she has undoubtedly improved with age . . Maybe that's why I feel such an affinity with her - we have both got more and more beautiful as we have gotten older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 ....wasn't she on HOW! for a while and I do remember her being on Jim'l Fix It wearing leather thigh high boots, the Fix It kid couldn't take his peepers off Carol where as Jim couldn't take his off, well you know the rest.... ....and yes jazzers are heavier because they are......bigger in the body. ....but the smaller in the neck....so according to Einstein's theory of preservation.....
