miles'tone Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Has anyone taken the pickguard off theirs yet? Any router channelling under there or is it clean so you could leave it guardless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has a 'road' stamp on it and a drilled hole, so would need some work if you wanted it bare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Think if my Sandberg goes I'll be having one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 How does this Flea bass compare with the Fender RW Jazz physically? I had the RW Jazz, loved it, but couldn't quite get on with the neck shape feel. Have any of you new owners tried both? I'd be interested to know any thoughts.

Musicman20 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I've only briefly tried the RW Jazz, but I tend to prefer a slightly fatter wider neck despite having small hands. I learnt on a P bass so a Jazz nut can cramp my hands sometimes. This bass doesn't feel like it has a super skinny neck to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that is my preference too. It's taken a few years of buying and selling to figure this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I was very interested in the bass when I first discovered it (only a few days ago), but reading this thread has sealed my fate! For all the reasons discussed I think this is a good bass to buy now. Too good a deal in fact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
