Grahambythesea Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 But doesn't the hum from the pickups under certain lights drive you nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefbaker Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm all cool with you loving jazz basses, but if you start soloing using the bridge pickup and your fingers next to the bridge to get the "quacky duck" sound then get out and take your flat cap with you. J/K Well, half j/k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously don't need four Jazz Basses but the '13 is the absolute best US Standard I've ever played and the 5-string Deluxe is brilliant too - I got super, super lucky with that bass - the B string on Fenders are pretty much always crap in my opinion but this one is superb... rather ironically it's strung EADGC!

[/quote] Yes indeed, it should be arriving tomorrow as the seller was very accommodating by shipping it out to arrive on a weekend Got a couple of cheapie ebay pickguards arriving (White and Black) to see which I prefer before getting a decent one Not had a jazz with 60s spacing before so looking forward to giving it a blast tomorrow Edited April 8, 2016 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Fender and Absolute Music about getting a tort pick guard for my 2014 US Deluxe 5 string and was quoted over £100... for a piece of plastic! I'll be sticking with the stock black one!

JapanAxe Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I don't love Jazz basses, except the '73 I tried that a friend owns. Several things I shouldn't like about it (sunburst, block inlays, bound neck, and, er, it's a Jazz), but it sounds great. So yes, I do accept that a Jazz can be good.
