price?

stingrays and jazz basses have amazing slap tones.
but i prefer the fender jazz for slapping. for both sound and comfort.
thats my opinion anyway. im sure many will agree

[quote name='henry norton' post='1072523' date='Dec 30 2010, 10:25 AM']If you use active pickups like EMGs (not just an active tone circuit but proper active pickups), you won't need an earth connection to the bridge but otherwise it's pretty essential.[/quote]

yeh its all passive. just a normal fender.
cheers. ill keep it safe

[quote name='icastle' post='1071989' date='Dec 29 2010, 06:44 PM']Sorry - that wasn't very helpfull was it?

Best thing to do with it is to wrap some tape round it to keep it clean and sand/spray around it.
When you come to reassembling the bass remember to unwrap the wire and make sure it gets a good contact with the metal underside of the bridge or you will get some nasty buzzing noises.[/quote]

i thought it was something like that. couldnt be too sure though
cheers pal

[attachment=67356:Photo_0074.jpg]hiya chaps

i was taking all the hardware off my bass in preperation for paint stripping
and as i was taking the bridge off i came across a strange hole with a wire coming out of it.

[quote name='sambassman' post='1060759' date='Dec 16 2010, 05:13 PM']no its not a reissue. its a highway one. they sorta made it so the paint would chip away for a vintage look[/quote]

iv jus been scratching it with a screw driver. and the paint is coming of no problem. i may be able to get away with no chemicals. just sand paper and some method of buffing

[quote name='BassBod' post='1060454' date='Dec 16 2010, 12:04 PM']Depends on what is under the nitro. From memory Fender re-issues have a sealer coat under the nitro paint that is a lot tougher to remove. No idea what it is, but I'd guess some sort of polyester - its thicker and much harder than the nitro paint. I'd suggest getting the nitro off fairly gently, (stripper/ scraper and wire wool?) and seeing if the clear layer underneath will give you the look you're after?[/quote]

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1059885' date='Dec 15 2010, 07:02 PM']Here are two Precisions I have stripped, both black 1970s basses



I used Nitromors. You need a bit of patience but no heat gun. I did mine outside the house on the patio and on the front step of the house. I too love that undercoat BUT you won't get around keeping it. Any method will damage the undercoat so it has to come off. You'll need a stripping knife / stripping tool too and also sandpaper to tidy up afterwards. I've added a wood dye after on one bass and I use wax at the end.

Very satisfying and I really bonded with the basses as I'd put the hours in. You'll enjoy it. I loved doing mine[/quote]

cheers.
i think i have some nitromors lying around somewere. ill try that

got miself a little project over christmas haha

cheers chaps

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='1059792' date='Dec 15 2010, 05:50 PM']You only have 3 choices - chemical stripper, abrasives or heat gun. All of these will affect the lacquer underneath so you have to be prepared to refinish or sand back to bare wood and lacquer or oil finish again. Its virtually impossible to remove half a coating.[/quote]

whats the best product for stripping the body then?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1059799' date='Dec 15 2010, 05:56 PM']It seems you've answered your own question. Though why someone would put nitro over a previous finish without removing it first is beyond me.[/quote]

yeh its bonkers.
its a factory finish though =/

Hiya all
i have this Fender jazz bass with a nitrocellulose finish. but i want to strip it to leave natural.
but im quite reluctant to use chemicals because there is a really nice varnish finish underneith the paint and im afraid it will take the varnish with it. thats what i want to keep.
the paint itself chips away really easily. i can actually scratch bits off.

so, whats the best method of stripping this?


cheers.

[quote name='lewyyy' post='1055083' date='Dec 11 2010, 04:16 PM']It could be a present to yourself! [/quote]

i wish haha

I WANT IT!
christmas pressents have to be bought though (sad face)

[quote name='tom1946' post='1050442' date='Dec 7 2010, 12:48 PM']My two are Korean and Indonesian and I really can't see/feel any difference? Oh wait, one's natural and the other is dark blue

I suppose I'm not a good enough player to notice small nuances between basses.[/quote]


im guessing that the korean ones are the older ones?

[quote name='jezzaboy' post='1045702' date='Dec 2 2010, 09:43 PM']The tributes are great right out of the box. The neck is quite a chunky affair, more so than the stingray I had. I would say it`s like the neck on a 50`s reissue P bass. Good if you like that sort of thing.

Jez[/quote]

i think i need to go and try one

cheers jez

okay cheers chaps

sam.

[quote name='neepheid' post='1044942' date='Dec 2 2010, 12:41 PM']I hope the USA guys can align tuner backs in a straight line, they're a bit off on my Tribute. It's just the little bits of attention to detail like that which you'd hope the extra wedge would cover.

The only other difference is more choice of finishes on USA G&Ls, choice of neck profile (the Tribute L-2000 only offers a quite chunky P bass like affair, which is fine if you like that sort of thing), other misc options like body binding. Oh, and as far as I'm aware, you can't get a factory fretless Tribute.[/quote]

would you say that the neck on a tribute has a similar feel to a stingray neck?
theyre quite chunky

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1044916' date='Dec 2 2010, 12:20 PM']To be honest there isn't all that much in it. You get G&L stamped hardware on the USA. The Tribute bridge leaves you in no doubt what model it is and the tuners are unbranded generic looking but the construction and feel is pretty much as good as the USA.[/quote]

cheers

[quote name='icastle' post='1044905' date='Dec 2 2010, 12:14 PM']Compared to what? [/quote]


compared to eachother =P

hiya chaps/chapesses

iv been looking at the G&L L2000 bass
and what a fine peice of equipment too.

i realise that they use the same electronics in both basses
but is the quallity much different between the pair?
eg: tuners, neck, action?

what do y'all think?


cheers.

[quote name='brummie' post='1017105' date='Nov 9 2010, 01:23 AM']Played but not owned, OK basses but over priced in new and second hand market.
Don't really understand the point of a tribute bass.
Higher priced than a Mex Fender for the quality of a decent Squier - IMO.
CHEERS[/quote]

okay cheers brummie

does anyone owne a G&L jb2?

what are they like?

cheers sam.

welcome liam!

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='1010117' date='Nov 2 2010, 10:29 PM']No worries, thanks for the response. I'm betting it's going to be a nice sound though.[/quote]

i think you'd get a very rich, beefy tone out of it. but im not sure if the high end would cut through the mix that well though. thats why i got the 2 x 10 cab
