    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1443043609' post='2871849'] I'm very jealous of people who can pick up any bass and play it all night. I remember when I could do that. To the people who don't understand. . . . you will one day. [/quote] This.

    Nearly flat neck, TI Jazz Flats, improbably low action, little fret buzz (luckily), quite often with the tone rolled right off. New Squier Jazz has similar setup but stil has rounds on. Seems to work OK, but needs flats...

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1440270762' post='2849550'] That was another early contender, making sure the string comes off the tuner as low as possible. A good reason for not trimming too much off the E and A strings before fitting them. Also why I don't like those modern tuner pegs that are concave in the middle, so you can't wind the string down to the bottom of the tuner. Lame! [/quote] Hipshot HB7s actually have a down taper to force the issue. Really pleased with them.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1439212290' post='2840864'] Eureka!! Here's the answer; swap the necks over and play your P with a jazz neck. Then ditch the jazz. Easy" [/quote] Yes! This!

    It's certainly red rather than brown, but not startlingly so. Unmarked for brand, came as part of a trade deal. Large pot apertures as per CTS pots. Cyberbass, pm incoming.

    Yup, certainly a hot winding!

    I've put a set of lockable wheels on my Markbass Traveler 151P, courtesy of the bargain bin at Ikea. Job done!

    As I'm using a Little Mark 2, I'm using analogue solid state, so middle ground. Entirely happy with it.

    Just need to dave up the pennies for a couple of sets of Chromes (can't afford Jazz Flats at the moment), then I can really get to work on this bass. It pkays well and sounds good, but flats are where it's at for me. Only Jazz I've used flats on so far was an American Special with the Greade Bucket circuit, so a Jazz with flats and a standard circuit will be a new thing for me. However, I don't expect it to be vastly different.

    This one has 3 out of 4 Hipshot HB7s fitted - no idea why not the full set, will have to try and find one! It's a 2011 model, and has definitely seen plenty of playing despite being in great nick. Will get a couple of pics up ASAP!

    I have owned a few Jazzes: 68 ( an absolute dog), 2003 MIM Sunburst, very nice, 2006 MIM white, also very nice, 2012 American Special, would have kept this except for financial stress, and now a Squier VM 70s J, which is pretty astounding. I'm a Precision player through and through, although small hands and, lately, arthritis, mean that that my Precision wears an American Special Jazz neck. So in reality, I'm stuck somewhere in the middle...

    Got this in a trade with Raslee of this parish. My intention was to gut it and put the neck and loom into a P-bass, body for which was also part of the deal. But before the carnage, I gave it tweak to my preference (normally for a P-bass), and it is just amazing! So I shall, for the moment, become a member of the One Of Each club... This is really NOT Dennis territory. At all.
