karlfer Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I simply paid by card, which gets me the bass and gives me the time to sort funding Between the gig money I have, the gig money before my bill is due, and putting up a "tribute" bass on Facebook, I MIGHT get away without selling my Clayton Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1467206740' post='3081920'] I've just had mail from Kenny's. They've had mail from Fender. They are getting them in early. Mine should be with me Monday or Tuesday [/quote] Awesome! Look forward to hearing your comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 What's the weight like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 There's the rub John. There must be SOME reason they are £300 cheaper than the Mex Road Worn Jazz. And I'll bet a good bit of that equates to a heavy bass. You will know early next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The Nate Mendel was a cheaper Roadworn Signature bass... Mine is 7.4lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegummy Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467190249' post='3081717'] Are Kenny's Music a supplier that many (or any) have dealt with before or was this just a supplier you found that was advertising this bass? [/quote] I bought a guitar from there and my experience was mixed but mostly positive. I'd buy from them again just as happily as anywhere else but wouldn't go there specifically.

karlfer Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467293086' post='3082595'] I've just received an e-mail from Kenny's. Mine is arriving tomorrow. Karl - I blame you! [/quote] I've got the same email. I blame me Last time I looked at GAK they were "available to order". Heard THAT before! They are also describing it as a Factory Special Run Andertons had 2 left an hour ago. Thomann had them in this AM, but £60 more expensive.

karlfer Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467302071' post='3082697'] That makes two of us then :-) Ooh! Collectable too! Yes, I noticed that. Is that a result of Sterling be so rubbish at the moment? [/quote] Yes, guess it's the exchange. Having said that, I've noticed in the past Thomann were often a little more expensive on Fenders. Warren, I do hope you are going to do the NBD photos and reviews, cos I'm crap at that stuff (esp photos ).

police squad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't want or need a jazz bass. I play Precisions!! (er and a Spector, Steinberger, Rickenfaker, Ibanez musician, Aria SBR150) but not Jazz basses Karl, it's your fault. Ordered from Andertons with Saturday delivery!!

synthaside Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I've been Very happy with all the " higher end Mexican stuff , the artist stuff the or the dated 60's 70's " They seem to really be giving Mexican's the Vintage modified treatment , i have every confidence these are gonna be cracking and i'm looking forward to the results . In other news Karl i mentioned to she who could not be named ... about the status and she said its FINE but only on condition that I traded it for something i really really wanted.... not just something that i already have ..... Reminds me why i love this girl :-D But i means NO Jazzes Edited July 1, 2016 by synthaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 So other than the stack knob controls what makes this Jazz bass so special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Modeled after Flea's actual '61, reliced Nitro, vintage bridge, vintage style US pickups. Just generally a very nice jazz with a good spec for the price.
