[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1488632218' post='3250609'] Nice bass but the knobs are not original and I don't think the bridge is original (should be black) I have the same bass in pearl white. [/quote] I think the bridge is Black, it's just worn. Like the rest of the bass, which I have to say looks very rough. Certainly been in the wars....

Two words that REALLY don't belong in the same sentence i'm afraid. GAS and Logic. One has little or nothing to do with the other.

One covers band I know around my neck of the woods has a father and son who cover Bass and Guitar duties, and they usually swap half time.

Well, what I can say is that before Barefaced, I also used Ashdown cabs, and my amp was an evo2 abm300, then an ABM1000. The BF 10in cabs are much closer to sounding like Ashdown cabs than their 12in cabs are.

[quote name='GuyR' timestamp='1488442530' post='3248914'] I'm confused as to why you would only have four Jazz basses? [/quote] The guitar rack in my house only has 8 slots. It's full.

[quote name='Naetharu' timestamp='1488384788' post='3248490'] Honestly, if it were me I'd just keep them unless you need to sell. I guess if you have one you never play then perhaps get rid but it's always a shame to loose an instrument you like. I sold my Japanese Jazz-Master in Sea Foam Green a while back, and while it was a sensible move (it paid for my bass rig, which I actually use, where as I am a crappy guitarist and didn't do justice to the thing) I'll forever feel a little sad that it has gone. [/quote] Therein lies the difficulty, I do [i]like [/i]all of them.

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1488384231' post='3248482'] [size=3][font=Calibri][color=#000000]Lewis, keep all the Jazz basses and sell the Yamahas instead. The Yammys just aren’t as “prog rock” as the Jazz basses! [/color][/font][/size] [/quote] HAHAHAHA

[quote name='ROConnell' timestamp='1488379048' post='3248421'] IMO sell the Flea bass as it's stack knobs, which your RW already has. [/quote] Yep, I think if any do go, that'll be the first.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1488380136' post='3248434'] You don't seem to have a fretless jazz on there. Get yourself to your favourite bass retailer and solve this problem! [/quote] Possibly the only thing I've never GAS'd for is a fretless of any description!

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1488362716' post='3248177'] Sell the YOB Silly name, whatever it is, so it has to go [/quote] YOB = Year of Birth / Made the same year as I was born.

Seems to be just the fact that the SR4 is made in limited range of colours only, all with rosewood fingerboard only, has a 2 band EQ, and comes in a gig bag instead of a hard case. That's it as far as I can tell.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1488361504' post='3248163'] Priceless . Only on here could such a justification even be considered. [/quote] I know!

Well, not quite, but I used to have 2 gen3 super compacts and now I have a two10. Very different IMHO. The 12's are very neutral, what goes in, comes out. That's what they are supposed to do. The two10 is more 'voiced' like other Bass cabs. Again, that's what it's supposed to do. There's also a bit more natural top end in the two10 vs tweeterless super compact. I prefer the two10 out of them. To my ear, with the same amp it took less EQ to get the tone where I wanted. The difficulty I encountered when using the super compacts was that they sounded SO different to what I'd used in the past, and the two10 is more traditional sounding. I went to Barefaced for 2 things mainly, the Low weight and High power handling. What I wasn't really prepared for was the drastic change in tone from the super compacts. With the two10, I've got what I wanted regarding the weight and volume capability, combined with a tone which is much more like what I was used to. Winner for me, YMMV!

Yup the polytune clip works fine, if it has to be clip-on. Never had any issues with a TU-2 or TU-3 (set to Bass mode) either if you're considering pedals.

Just commenting on the 'precisionitis' thread got me thinking I really need to shift a couple of my Jazz Basses. The difficult part being obviously deciding which to try and shift. List as follows: 1975 (YOB) Fender Jazz - Natural with maple fingerboard and pearl blocks 2015 Fender USA Geddy Lee signature 2016 Fender Flea Signature 2008 Fender Roadworn Jazz in 3TSB (modded to stack knobs) All very good Basses in their own right and I kind of justified them all at the time by having 2 with 60's Pickup spacing and 2 with 70's spacing. I don't 'need' to sell, but I probably 'should'. But which? I know ultimately it'll have to be my own call, but I'm interested in how others would feel in the same position..

Same here really, I have 2 Fender P's, 2 Yamaha Attitudes (Basically precision Basses) and 4 Jazz Basses. I play the Jazzes and really enjoy the sound of them, but for me there's something about the way a Precision feels straight away that is just right to me. Put my thumb on the pickup just behind the screw hole and I'm instantly happy. I really should shift a couple of the Jazzes, but they are all great in their own way. Deciding which to let go would be difficult.

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1488205403' post='3246743'] To stop the neck dive when playing my EB3 (shorty) I pass the strap under my belt. This will also help stop trousers from hanging down on those with no arse to keep them up. [/quote] What a great idea. Well done sir!
