A friend of mine from brazil put me on to these.. crackin grooves.. the bass playing is just superb..!!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys6k_Bgs1-Q&feature=player_embedded#at=80"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys6k_Bgs1-Q..._embedded#at=80[/url]

its about the playing.. not the bass

erm..

This guy is off the chart... some sick playing as usual... this is in London.. any idea what shop? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBGvl0FkjrI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBGvl0FkjrI...feature=related[/url]

Just curious how much it might cost to refinish a bass body in another colour? roughly? does it depend on the finish etc.. would be a flat colour i wanted.. any ideas

Thanks mate, i will check all parts etc... im sure it will give you years of pleasure..it is a jazz bass afterall..

Yep like that very much... take the DR's off mind...too much orange

Thats very cool..love the headstock... string spacing looks wide, what is it?

The grain is ace on it, its was the first thing that struck me when I opened it. I was just very lucky I think as this was a order it blind and keep everything crossed job, although alot of people seem to think the new ones have better quality control. Ive never messed around with different string types, ive always left well alone and replaced them with the same ernie balls my ibby had on it when I got it. Maybe I should be a bit more adventurous!! lol I'm still not convinced on the covers, they look great but as you say its not a vintage. As for resale value thats not an issue as it wont be going anywhere!!![/quote]Ahh.... so many times ive said..this bass is a keeper.. and a year down the line ive looked at the for sale section an wham!! you may be different im sure.. it does look very cool with them on mind.. Try some DR strings, Monkeynuts, expensive yes but IMO the best string available.. last forever too where did you get the covers from?..im after some.

[quote name='famstd' post='1234366' date='May 17 2011, 02:45 PM']The grain in your Rosewood fretboard is fantastic. Did your pick out your Jazz? Or was it shipped to you? Once again, great bass.[/quote] Love your Blizzard pearl Jazz dude!!

Great basses i had one the same colour with the maple neck.. everything is top notch on these recent Jazz basses.. Please though..dont put the ashtray covers on it.. its a modern Fender not a RI or vintage.. you will also kill the resale value.... just my Op

[quote name='BB3000S' post='1233739' date='May 16 2011, 10:13 PM']Very nice indeed, congratulations!! The Audere sounds interesting, I'm thinking of replacing an Aguilar OBP-3 with something else and the Audere is high on the list - never tried one out though. Would be interesting to hear some more reflections on it once you have played it some more. Definitely agree that magic stuff can happen with the right pre in a jazz. [/quote] Doesnt touch your LPB Jazz BB.. that is one crackin jazz bass

[quote name='Clarky' post='1233725' date='May 16 2011, 10:04 PM']Partly laziness. Partly as I just acquired wesfinn's awesome Herbie Flowers-inspired '59-alike Jazz (below) and I am not sure I will be keeping my Bacchus [attachment=80146:DSCN2065.jpg][/quote] Very nice.. that is sweet.. really like that..

[quote name='Clarky' post='1233688' date='May 16 2011, 09:42 PM']Yep, it is passive - I bought a set of Lollar pickups and a J-Retro to turn it into a super-Jazz but couldn't be bothered to fit them! (J-Retro now for sale )[/quote] Why? u lazy bugger.. the Audere was just pushing wires in to the connector blocks, and connecting the ground.. not sure about the East? that would have sounded awsome with the Lollars

[quote name='Clarky' post='1233628' date='May 16 2011, 09:03 PM']Time to start a poll, B5 PS, very nice bass - I have a similar one looks-wise in my Bacchus 62J [attachment=80137:P1040209.JPG][/quote] WOW thats a spitting image.. is the Bacchus a passive bass Clarky?

Oh my Lord!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HbJqEc_2Qc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HbJqEc_2Qc[/url]

[quote name='paul_5' post='1233491' date='May 16 2011, 07:28 PM']What amused me was that in the poll results graph at the top none of the colors (sic) mentioned corresponded to the colour of the bar representing the result. I suppose that's ironic, and would have been missed by TBers on the whole. [/quote]

This is like looking through Razzle.....but for Jazz basses and not so working class

I wanted to stay as close to the original as poss but ive obviously blown that one, but yeah a pearl would be nice.. or maybe a tort..lots of colour that though.. ha there was me banging on about pointless threads on Talk Bass.. this is different

ooh right on Q.. we need some more information Skidder.. What is the serial number? What is the bridge like..has it got spiral saddles.. How big are the tuning keys.. got any pics.. there are a few different models.. ive really done my research on these basses

Got it this morning...Very cool bass and very well made..Easily as good as any USA model ive owned..feels very solid...Also resonates really really well, very much like my old CS Jazz... What i love is the lack of routing under the pickguard!!! also you cant really see in the pics but under pickguard you can see the original colour, which is more green.. the body has faded to a mint green/blue..(why do i love that so much)?? The neck has gone real amber compared to the original colour in the neck pocket.. its in great conditon for a 21+ year old bass Really like the stock tone.. Then i put the Audere in to the bass, and f*** me!!! ....Although this pre doesnt add any colour to the tone, it certainly puts the Super, in Super Jazz.. Really flexible preamp, and i love the Z Modes.. i have found it much more intuitive than the John East Deluxe Jazz unit.. But i think thats maybe a bit more comprehensive it really sounds quality and makes me want to play more.. i think thats what a good pre is all about... im amazed what a good pre like this can do for a Jazz Bass excuse the ramblings

I read silly threads on TB all the time.. ok i post some pointless music threads, but this takes the cake..
