without doubt i would take the MTD 535... especially the non exotic top cheaper series.. awsome tone.....

IMO Mart i would keep the 75 RI.. the dream of the perfect vintage Fender is great, but do i want all the hassle and money of finding the gem that has great frets and doest weigh a tonne... no.... ive recently bought an MIJ 75 RI and its just amazing.... i really cant see an original being that much better.. and even if an original had that nuance, its not worth 1000 pounds more.. keep it dude

[quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1328965213' post='1535353'] I think he wants them because of our flamboyant on stage look, they might suit this band, but I also play in other bands, and I don't like them generally so I'll skip it. This is how I dress on stage, probably not to most peoples taste either. [/quote]now that makes LED sense..

side LED's are useful... Dont like front LED's at all... i guess there a bit of fun, but i just cant see the point... i would want the stage to swallow me up if i had flashing lights on my bass... aaarrgghh.. just thought of it makes me cringe...

this old favorite is just the cream imo.. very slick... Okino is a master at arranging music... ... when she sings it turns into a real gem. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyCWKP-MnX8&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=173&feature=plpp_video[/media]

i would put a wide gap between some of his opinions and his playing... you cant deny his playing... really enjoyed those.. thanks Bilbo

Im aware of my stupid question, but im after a dark tortoise shell pickguard.. ive seen very bright red guards, or a darker guards as seen on this beauty... this is what im after.. also im aware that some pickguards have different hole positions.. i want one for an MIJ 75, just like the one in the pic... i think maybe im taking my chances when i order one....

unless you want a project, it seems like a huge hassle.. first off, im not sure how the tension of 5 strings would affect a four string jazz neck.. the spacing would be very very tight by the nut... replacing the nut... changing the bridge.... also changing the 4 string pickups... drilling for another tuner... i really cant see it being worth while.... or working...

total class...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYV0lVUe03o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UTzL1ZnaGg

[quote name='aldude' timestamp='1328216498' post='1524021'] I have one. I think no dots on the fretboard is a plus! There are dots on the side of the neck so you can tell what you're playing. I have changed the pickups to bartolinis, and I also changed the bridge to a Babicz but the bridge swap hasn't really changed anything really. Other than that, great bass, super light and comfortable neck. [/quote]Bartolini..Babicz... Jazz PJ.. thats got to sound great..

the jazz bass... the KING of basses...
