So, popped over to Voxpop's house near Reading and I might have come home with a 2009 Jazz Standard 5 string [url="http://img339.imageshack.us/i/21012010663.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://img716.imageshack.us/i/21012010666.jpg/"][/url] Shocking photos I know, I'll get some decent ones soon with it's siblings (I kinda have triplets now). It's a real beauty, these '09 Fenders have got great build quality, will be gigging it on saturday & sunday, so am looking forward to it. Si

I'm definitly more of a Jazz Bass guy! And as a result, when I put together a Precision for myself (everyone has to have one), I fitted it with a Jazz neck. Strangely I didn't get on with it too well, can't explain it! Traded that for a Japanese Squier Precision with a P neck, and it's real comfortable. Wider than my Jazzes obviously, but still very playable for me! Quite odd! Oh and the (ongoing) record, my S1 American Jazz has never been beaten........by anything Si

Yup, a fretted and fretless Wal at Oxford Guitar Gallery for £2995 each! Si

Looks great!! Although.....possibly challenging Sei and Alleva Coppola for 'Worst Headstock Design' Si

I find it really odd when people insist that an artist has no talent.....clearly she does, singing, entertaining, succeeding in the music industry is a talent in itself. Ok so you don't have to like her.....but when an artist can be seen at a piano, singing a song very much in tune, that they've written themselves....for the BBC....don't say they're not talented. It's just not your bag Si

And I actually have a lot of time for her A good friend of mine did a gig for an artist supporting Beyonce, that was a mime gig. What's the issue? Those guys all work hard to get to that level in their industry, who cares if they mime a gig, they'll be playing hard bop way beyond any of us the week after! What I do think is that mimed shows should be advertised as such, so people can choose to buy tickets with all the info Si

Yeah I don't really see the point in putting my name forward until a date is sorted If I can come......I will lol Si

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='718889' date='Jan 20 2010, 12:34 PM']I guess if you look at the work that goes into the higher end Warwicks the cost makes a bit more sense, after all a Fender is basically a bolted together slab bodied instrument with a forearm and belly schamfer, selling for nearly a grand. Warwicks have all the nice curves and rounded edges. Mind you Warwicks are mostly machined now aren't they? I think the Infinity deserves to be pretty pricey, it can't be easy to build what with the cavities and f-holes I remember a thread a while ago where a BCer took the scratchplate off his MIA Jazz to reveal a clumsy pickup rout which went all the way through to the control cavity. I think that's more shocking on a £900+ instrument than anything Warwick have ever done. Whatever they cost they're extremely well made basses and i doubt any corner-cutting like that happens[/quote] I think that was me.....but I'd still pick my Fender Jazz over any Warwick I've ever tried, for tone and playability. All Warwicks are machined except for the custom-shop stuff I believe, correct me if I'm wrong but that has been the case since the mid-nineties I think!?. Si

Bizarre Can anyone confirm or deny these.....I'm a skeptic! Si

Steve is a top top guy!! Great bass player, but more importantly for me, a fantastic musician and composer. Si

Sounds promising that they largely hold their price though....a rarity these days Si

Yeah why not get a price for a fretless neck build from the new Wal? Si

Ooooo, Pre-Production Deluxe. Do we think collectable to some degree? Si

This guy seems to make them [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAPLE-THUMBREST-TUG-BAR-UPGRADE-PRECISION-JAZZ-MUSTANG_W0QQitemZ230420351309QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item35a61f894d"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAPLE-THUMBREST-TUG-...=item35a61f894d[/url] Si

Yeah will do mate! When Jon emails back saying he's posted it Monday, I'll ask if he has anymore specifics! Cheers Si

Still might pop along to this with the Mrs! Hope it doesn't sell out innit! Si

Light blue, rosewood & birdseye neck for me if I was to partake Si

Why limit yourself to covering other 3 piece bands? My covers band is fundamentally three piece (3 instruments plus a vocalist) and we play lots of different stuff, just means you get to have a bit more fun with your various parts!.......not overplay, but cover some more sonic space! Si

Nom Nom Nom, does anyone know what SR pickups sound like when wired passive? Si
