I have an ESP 400 series Jazz and your problem is not standard. The controls should be just like any other Jazz with no centre indents. By the way, amazing choice of bass. I have had one for 21 years and its the only bass I would never part with. By the way, please post some piccies as the model sent to Europe has a different head stock so it would be good to see what one you have.

Bought a lovely Fender CIJ 1962 RI Jazz for Terry. Item was as decribed and beautifully set up. Packaging was totally amazing and very secure. Will have no problem buying from him again in the future. Many thanks Terry for everything.

I've been trying to find out when a Japanese Fender Jazz has been made and what spec it has. The serial number is Q060288 and says Crafted in Japan underneath it. This info is at the bass of the neck. According to the various Fender website, it says (CIJ) Q + 5 DIGITS 2002-2004 or (MIJ) Q + 6 DIGITS 1993-1994. As it says Crafted in Japan on the base of the neck I would assume that this is what it is from 2002 -2004. However, it says with 5 digits and if you include the first 0 of Q060288 then thats 6 digits. So do I count this first digit or is the bass a Made in Japan from 1993-1994? Also, if the bass is a Crafted in Japan from 2002-2004, will this have the US pickups? I imagine that if its a Made In Japan from 1993-1994 then they won't be US pickups? Very confused

Shameless request to say, if anyone has a Warwick Corvette Standard in Bubinga that they want to sell, then please let me know. Active or passive is fine but has to be 4 string, fretless and Bubinga.

[quote name='merello' post='959805' date='Sep 17 2010, 07:11 PM']ps - I forgot I started this thread![/quote] Ah so its your fault then

[quote name='budget bassist' post='958813' date='Sep 16 2010, 09:07 PM']Nope, and at that price, I'm not even remotely interested.[/quote] To be honest, I know exactly how you feel, plus its not German

So has anyone got or even seen or played one of the new Pro Series Corvette's? Would be intesting to see how they compare to the German made models.

[quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='957492' date='Sep 15 2010, 06:17 PM']I've got a black and yellow stripey jumper,and used to have a Ibanez Musician fretless.I also used to live 4 doors down from where he used to live.Spooky.[/quote] Can you play bass also? If so you are Sting and I claim my £5 please.

[quote name='silddx' post='957268' date='Sep 15 2010, 03:09 PM']Because they are small and svelt and don't need a big old ugly body like a Fender to balance against that big old ugly Fender headstock.[/quote] but I have little arms and have to stretch and I don't know what svelt means

[quote name='silddx' post='957262' date='Sep 15 2010, 03:04 PM']It is simply because the top horn on most Warwicks (Corvette, Streamer) only extends to the 15th fret not the 12th, so the fret under your nose on a Warwick is higher than than the one on your Fender, therefore the nut is about three inches or so further away from your body. Hence the stretch.[/quote] Ah so that makes sense, thanks Silddx. I wonder why they do this.

[quote name='hoiho' post='956626' date='Sep 14 2010, 10:04 PM']Lovely. That's [i]exactly[/i] the bass I want next (except with black hardware and active pups) as sister to my fretless bubinga corvette.[/quote] NO NO NO, it was all going to well until you said you had a fretless bubinga corvette. I am so desperate for one of them. Please please please sell me yours. At least post a picture to really upset me

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='955676' date='Sep 14 2010, 07:55 AM'] Fender Jazz/Precision etc are all 34" scale! Unless you've been playing a shortscale Musicmaster or similar you've been playing a 34" [/quote] OK, mmm, why does the neck feel longer and more of a stretch on a Warwick then? It has to be because it has more frets/another octave??
