These are amazing basses. £675 is a steal!

I'd echo a lot of this and specifically what Cairobill says - I joined a three-piece (bass, drums, guitar) and used a Fender Jazz Bass at the time. I bought a MM Stingray and it really transformed the overall sound of the band. I can't sum it up all that well in words but it was just more powerful and seemed to fill in gaps.

This thread [i]is[/i] about Jazz Basses, right? Sorry for the P in the picture...

Love those. Can you post some more photos of your Jazz?

Yeah it doesn't sound like that in my hands!!

Bought an Aguilar TH350 from Steve - exactly as described, perfect communication, super fast shipping - the perfect buying experience. Cheers mate.

You lucky lucky man! That's just about all the basses you'll ever need right there!

Now get saving for that fodera! ;-)
[/quote]

I quite fancy an olympic white Jazz now!

Don't fancy selling your SL112 do you?

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1454440825' post='2969815']
Is this why some places have Deluxe models comparatively cheap? You can get them for less than a US Standard.
[/quote]

I actually think I prefer US Standards

Wow and wow again!!

Excuse my boldness, but was this a private buy or from a trader and was it Fodera type money?
[/quote]

It was a private buy and it wasn't Fodera money so now I don't have to continue saving

Me too



What a beautiful pair... and unlike any of my basses, should you ever get bored of them they will be worth even more than when you bought them

Vintage Fenders essentially pay you to own them

Thanks a lot - the main reason I buy secondhand is to cut down on money lost. Mind you, I'm after an Aguilar SL 112 and I think I'm going to have to buy new now. Need it in the next six weeks!

You're right though, on these vintage basses, as long as they're looked after they should appreciate in value

Nice looking bass personally I think you made the right choice
[/quote]

Thanks, I think you're right. This is real nice to play but I reckon a refret will have to happen at some point!

'64 Jazz Bass

What are the differences between them tonally?
[/quote]

I'd say the '72 is a bit brighter and louder to my ear but I'm definitely no expert. They both have a classic Jazz Bass honk.

And here with my 1964.

I was saving money for a Fodera when this came up and scuppered my plans!

I currently have around 16 Fenders and I love their playability and simplicity, tbh having a preamp just makes things complicated for me and a jazz or P bass does everything I need.
[/quote]

Couldn't agree more.

And got a gallery with your 16 Fenders? I'd love to see them!

I'd like an American made 24 fret Jazz modern player style .

Yeah I'm after another SL112 but reckon I'll have to buy new.

Ahhhh ok, got it.
