[quote name='BottomEndian' post='740807' date='Feb 10 2010, 11:32 AM']Are these genuinely rare? I thought they were just the standard Jazz shape for about 4 or 5 years around the early 90s? If so, there must have been thousands sold.[/quote] They were classed as the USA standard jazz at the time, but for some reason you dont seem to see many for sale! Anybody on the forum got one? There is another one here; [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-Fender-USA-American-Standard-Boner-Jazz-Bass_W0QQitemZ190342886375QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item2c5151f3e7"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1993-Fender-USA-Amer...=item2c5151f3e7[/url]

[quote name='tom1946' post='739675' date='Feb 9 2010, 08:47 AM']I briefly had a Dano 63 long scale in red and hated it, it was too light and if you like the deep sound of a usa jazz then it don't work for me. Status looks awesome, not sure about the upper bout going that far along the neck, that's very close to where I play, agree they look awesome though. I COULD saw some bit's off my Jazz, maybe even drill some holes but......... I think the fender lyte looks promising, can you still get them new?[/quote] No! --- they stopped making them a few years ago

Hi Chris If you email Scott at Fender support I have always found him very helpful with obscure Diagrams. [email protected] Will.

Hi Tom If you are in the Leeds area anytime you are welcome to try out my Fender Lyte! and see if its suitable for you I also have a very lightweight but superb quality Landing L1 hand made USA bass you could try out ( Short Scale ) Will.

[quote name='jmstone' post='737204' date='Feb 6 2010, 02:05 PM']Hmm.. Will have a go again, but the height of the pickup doesn't seem to make that much difference. Could it be a dead string? James Edit: I think I simutaneoulsy posted this with 2x18's reply above.. Will try some other strings - any suggestions as to what I should go for?[/quote] If your talking Flats, I now use mainly Ti Jazz Flats and D,Addario stainless flats.

I have had the same problem with Rotosound flats on one of my Jazz basses -In my case it was a duff G string. I dont use Rotos any more!

[quote name='stevie' post='734466' date='Feb 3 2010, 08:42 PM']Why's that? I've got a Gotoh 201 fitted and have just bought a Badass 2 to try it.[/quote] They are both quite solid and chunky, well made and similar sounding, but I prefer the looks of the Gotoh! I have a Badass 2 on my Geddy Lee and I have the 201 on another Jazz and also on a Precision. ( + The Gotoh is also cheaper, which is very important to us Yorkshiremen ) Will.

[quote name='Pbassman' post='734071' date='Feb 3 2010, 02:15 PM']I have been reading the Badass II forum post (very informative) and while it is generally accepted that the Badass bridges are the most suitable, what others are OK for use on 70s US Precisions, and what other recommendations does anyone have? Thanks for opinions. Phil.[/quote] I personally prefer the Gotoh 201 to the Badass 2 for my Fender Jazz and P-Basses

[quote name='mike 110' post='732649' date='Feb 2 2010, 10:32 AM']hi everybody , i have a fender mustang reissue and a gibson sg reissue and i would like to replace both sets of strings . i'd like a warm with a hint of growl type sound ! is such a sound possible ? or will i have to have warm on one and growl on the other ? i know the pick ups dictate sound to an extent and both will sound different anyway . so , i would be grateful for any advice or recommendations forthcoming , thanks in advance .[/quote] I have had both those Basses and for me after much trial and expense both were fitted with Ti Flats ( Thomastik Infeld )

[quote name='neepheid' post='732874' date='Feb 2 2010, 01:14 PM']I'd get the shielding sorted out before you make any further decisions about upgrades.[/quote] I will second that! Both my Jazzes have Dimarzios fitted and they are totally hum free.
