Seen so many 62 RI jazz basses for sale lately, but no 75 RI's... i wonder why this is?

I'm just saying [/quote]Yep.. and am i the only person whos never heard of Mani..? Sure ive listened to a bit of Stone Roses, not enough to take heed... i think now is a good time..

Man i love this, and what a trooper Zender is... good on him... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJrHWmCjfx0&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJrHWmCjfx0&feature=related[/url]

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1330112119' post='1553036'] This is my current favourite slice of soul / funk. Love some of the playing on this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzGkZ1TGIyI[/media] [/quote]awsome stuff this... Shuya Okino does some fantastic stuff..

every band ive ever been in is from GumTree.. i highly recommend it..

[quote name='StraightSix' timestamp='1330189522' post='1553951'] If you get a good one they are as good as anything else IMHO. Many owners rate the Squier VM series and the CV series better than the genuine Fenders... [/quote]yep there can be a jem, but that statement may be a broad one.. i think most Fenders made in Japan are better than the USA models..

if i didnt know, i would say that was flea..

cool as f***.. awsome these CIJ jazz basses... im GAS free with an MIJ 75 jazz, and it smokes any other jazz bass iv owned

imo, i think stylistically there a niche... people buy them because they really love the shape.. and the amazing tone those things kick out..

Can you not use your touch to determine, how much sensitivity, or lack of you want..? sorry havent read whole thread.

me and my sister were glued to watching this... the thing ive always loved about Fagan is his interesting chord choices and the way he puts things together.. and importantly there attention to details .. that in its self is great.. but then you have his/there vision of what an overall song, that he and Becker had in there heads.. and the choice of what session musicians would work for this particular track....... no other band have entranced me so much.... parts 1 and 2.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP_2r9zbaIY well im sure lots havent heard it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz8AJh7_mKc

This sounds strange for me to say, even to myself, but really i have... i bought a non export 75 MIJ RI a while ago.. Simon sold it to me for 600 squids...... im a bugger for getting bored of a bass after a month or so..... but time has passed, and this bass is still amazing me.. strange ive had Modulus's Sadowsky's and this is where ive come back to.. simple man maybe.. when i got it, it had flats on, Even with flats on through the Aguilar it sounded good.. i put some DR SunBeams on it, and just wow.. i rolled the tone off to half and had front pickup 3/4's with the back to full, all flat on the EQ, and the bass really came alive... i had an American Vintage 75 RI, maple neck, black blocks... and strangely i didnt like it at all... way too much gloss on the whole bass.. it just sounded really harsh and bright... the MIJ's seem to gloss the neck but lay off on the fingerboard... make your own mind up about this. i had a very special Custom Shop 1970 Closet Classic Jazz bass at one time .. i really loved that bass, but if the two basses were put in front of me and i couldnt sell them, i would take the MIJ... it totally smokes it

Mayb[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1329505749' post='1543652'] Thats cool , thanks for the reply. Do you think that the string length makes a difference to tone ?? [/quote]Really depends on lots of variables...

Love Larry's playing, and my word Victor can groove..love the details in his playing also, [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-hyEYi0O-M[/media]
