Ive gone all jazz

[Anthony Joseph Wiaczek III]

Recently i was plodding around dawsons in manchester and i happened by chance to try out the squier modified jazz (ive always fantasized about maple with block inlays). I was blown away by the playability. MUCH more practical than my t-bird and i am now in love.

what do all you guys think?

one more point, is there any interest in the market for a t-bird IV or have i just got a stinking block of cheese?

Go for it. I got a Squier Standard Jazz today and have only just put the bloody thing down. Far too nice. I imagine the one you're after will also be very nice indeed! I have to say I'm completely sold on Jazz basses now.

Check the bass guitar section. Self plus Waynepunkdude (we both own em and have modified them) and others have posted there. Good bass.

Cheers

They're like the "Strat" of the bass world. If you could only use one bass etc etc.

I love em, but understand some don't. You can do any gig with a Jazz.

Hi
I had one but while it played and sounded great, was too heavy for me and my old lumbago, +1 on the powerful sound and versatility though.

Mine`s a bit of a heavy bugger as well but not as heavy as the poxy Jaguar I owned! It`s also quite a nice looking bit of wood for the price.

I always find Jazzes to be quite light.

[Anthony Joseph Wiaczek III]

even tough it is heavier than the t-bird, i find it hangs much better and stops the old shoulder from playing up!

cant say ive ever tried mexican or even american jazzes. will do one day though. got a keen eye on the classic 70's jazz. (must be my fetish for block inlays)

I was a member of the anti-jazz brigade for ages, until I moved out here and the only thing I could afford was a Japanese jazz. I now feel like an utter prat for all the daft stuff I said about them in the past. Great basses, not a single complaint.

I love the look of Jazzes but don't get on with the narrow neck. If they did one with a fatter neck I'd be there straight away. They sound & look great though

I've had & sold on two. Both sold quickly & easily. Bear in mind though that Guitar Guitar have them in stock new for £199. Hard cases don't tend to add value, they just tend to improve your chances of selling. They are only really an investment if keeping the instrument.
