paul h Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I guess no one has got one then. I am sure there are plenty of them over at TB. Pop over and do a search first, or you will just get told off! Try searching for essex as well as I think the search engine needs a 3 letter string. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I know that crez5150 had a fretted and a fretless because I've pestered him before with similar questions (not your question though). I think the Rondo website does list string spacing on each guitar, but I think it may be a copy paste thing gone wrong as similar models often appear to have different dimensions. I was tempted to buy myself but then found a cheap second hand Squier P5. Let the modding begin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 does anyone have a link for SX - I do like their 70s look jazz. Do they actually sound like the real thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnt Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 In case anyone's wondering: [url="http://waltons.ie/waltonsshop/index.php?cPath=60_62&sort=2a&filter_id=27"]Waltons[/url] don't appear to carry any of the 5-string Jazz (or Precision) models - only the Stingray copy, and the weird Yamaha-ish BG205. Compared to Rondo Music, even with shipping from the USA, their prices are getting very un-competitive these days - but Ireland is a lot closer than the USA if you want to try one first-hand.
