    my 1990 MIJ sonic blue jazz 'n me

    in Bass Guitars

    initially it was cause of a dead spot that i couldn't shift. i tried everything inc fatfingers, hence the damaged headstock. i sold it on here to a school or something , id love it back for sentimental reasons , but its long gone . i switched to graphite and then decided blocks and binding was the way forward and never looked back!

    Heh heh. One thing about it the pics don't quite capture is it's slightly, um, 'cuddlier' than any other jazz I've had. It's more curvy and rounded with less angular curves, more organic shaped, even than the other Japanese jazz's I've had. Funnily enough the guitarist magazine review from back in the day claimed quite the opposite. Incidentally it's made of basswood.

    In my eyes you cant beat a maple neck, pearloid pickguard and light blue jazz bass like this and my own jazz :blush: . There should be more of them :)[/quote]

    I thought you might enjoy these pics of me 'n my fave bass ever; my 1990 MIJ jazz in sonic blue.
    Its had so many different forms and mods over the years and despite the pics (mainly iphone so not great) its actually really battered, worn chipped and dinged and looks great!

    Its my third ever bass and the one i had a picture of stuck in my school folder when i started out as my dream bass that i aspired to own one day.
    As it happens a year later i found mine going cheap in a local used guitar place which burnt down shortly after!, at a time when i could just scrape together the cash if i sold my other bass, the guy was very relectant to do me a deal but i managed it and legged it home to clean off the gunk which had lowered the price by £50 to something i could afford!
    Funnily enough not long after i met a guy who had gone in to buy it just after me!

    After over 50 other basses and three necks, two preamps, two sets of tuners (poss three) god knows how many other tweaks and hardware changes shes still my number one, despite a lengthy flirtation with warwick! (even then she was always onstage tuned up ready to go.
    heres a link to a set of pics of me 'n JB as its known from over the last 18 years we've been gigging together!
    I even played her at my wedding!



    The pics are in this flickr album here..................

    Hope you enjoy taking a peek!

    Not a promo shot per se, but just one snapped off really quickly as we were leaving, by the organisers at the end of our recent session demoing for pro tools at the NEC gadget show live and I really like the way the shot came out..

    Funniest things people say when selling their gear

    Very true, in many cases people will state that it may indeed have the best say, neck for instance, but if the string spacing just isn't you or any one of a dozen other things then it's gotta go. I'm sure the basses I still have of the 50+ I've owned have none of the single best features, best body was a green status, best for slap was a Warwick etc but it's the getting one that's just the right mix that's tricky.
    And trust me, I've often often had to sell things I really don't wanna sell. :-D

    Wwwwooooaahhh!! I just read this! You have the six string version of this???? You may (or may not) have spotted a few times me bemoaning over the last few years that there's two basses I've sold that just utterly gutted me to part with, and one of them was my black six string energy.(other was my streamer lx) :-( If you ever part with yours please drop me a line and I'd find a limb or relative to sell or something to raise the funds somehow someway lol!!!

    Is my amp too big to hear...????

    I ran an Ah400SMX with two 4x10's and a bright box for years, and often found the same thing, all the advice above is good! That said since I traded it for a smaller, lighter, punchier and unbelievably, louder markbass rig ive never looked back! (or had issues hearing myself, or had to wobble it down wet fire escapes at 3am!)

    [quote name='BassJase' post='804163' date='Apr 12 2010, 09:07 PM']Im venturing into the world of hats because of prementioned pate reasons (getting a bit baldy now I'm 34!) :)

    But this season I'll mostly be wearing bandanas as I'm going to live in China in a few weeks, playing 4 gigs a week, and it hits a warm 37 degrees usually there for the summer so it'll help keep the sweat outta my eyes![/quote]


    Sounds ace! ( just to rub it in, me 'n my hair are 34 in a couple of months too;)
