spaners Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 the neck feels fast and slick to me, not sticky at all. The finish on the neck is very nice in my opinion, but I do prefer lacquered necks. The look and colour is almost identical to my pawnshop Mustang and MIJ 62 P reissue. Now I have restrung with flats the tone is very flexible and the output is on par with the 62 P. (my rig is TC BG250 208 with Ashdown VS112 extension cab) The amp I tried it though in the shop did nothing for it to be honest. If anyone wants to try one, I'm in Bournemouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I've been considering that exact amp too haha. I have played basses with lacquered necks before, and enjoyed them, especially my old squier P with flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Also, I don't know why I care about the pickup output, I only play at home anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaners Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm a home only player too lol. My neighbours would be happy if I moved I think!!! The TC BG250 208 is a great amp, get one. Get a foot switch too, makes all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great harry Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Tried one out at PMT in Southend yesterday. My impressions. I was impressed by how light it was. The neck seemed very short, even for a short scale. The CAR looked great. Compared to a regular jazz the body is much smaller. Sounded great especially with just the p pup. I am beginning to wonder whether I should have bought a p or p/j rather than a jazz. Build quality on the one I tried appeared excellent. Overall I thought it a very nice instrument but possibly not for me. The neck just seemed too short, affecting playability ( I am 6'6"), although an hour or so of practice would probably sort that out. I did like the lightness of it though. I am still suffering from Sunday's 5 hour long practice session with my MP Jazz. Edited August 12, 2014 by great harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
