WOW I see why your tag is "Freak". Completely missed the point of my light hearted comments.

I have for a while, found it very diffcult to make a connection purely from a aesthetics point of view with those big woody basses. Really highly polished, like the dinning tables of the 80's & early 90's before Ikea took over home furnishing. In fact some of those huge basses you could share a meal at and have room for the odd surprise guest or two. I am sure the hardware , electronics and picks are amazing. But why would you want to put a rare piece of rain forest round your neck, that has been polished so much, the audience are blinded by the reflection from the stage lights There are woodland gritters all over canada and south America missing large parts of their homes, wondering wheres the side of me house gone. Only two be told its been turned by some bloke into a table, with strings attached. i do not include all woody basses. i like the simple ones , some beautifil Warwicks and Mayones basses out there. But these monsters need to be stopped.

You must post a pic when you get the chance. We could start a support club. changed the pickups to some seymour Duncans, much more gain sounds even better. Happy Days

As above a great member to deal with. I bought some seymour Duncan jazz pickups. No issues at all. great communication. Just the sort of person you need on this forum. Kingprawn (sean)(John)!!!

The Badass will not just slot in, although it was a very easy fit. I had measured all the relevent string hights , spacings distance from bridge pickup. so when i fitted it, which was very straight forward, i had pretty much set the new bridge to the old ones settings. having tested it i did all the adjustments necessary, to get it the way i wanted it. for very little money, i have a great Bass.

I have a tokai jazz sound. it is mint. The neck is brilliant. the pick ups were changed to some wizards. badass fitted, But i have to say it is hands down an excellent instrument. i cannot tell you how great they are. if you can get one snap it up.

Over my 20 plus years of devotion to this wonderful instrument. I have realised many things about myself. Having built a small army of amps and basses one thing is a constant. "me". does not matter what i change around me, its still my fingers on those strings with my own limitations. I have never had a punter come up to me and say " why use that rig bass etc" I have had bass players ask, but they are not normal punters. The problem is we are all suffering from the same disease. This site only reinforces us all. I need help we all need help. This is not a real world. " Abandon all hope ye who enter"

Hello All For sale this Mint condition Fender Jazz Bass USA S1 switch. comes with Fender hard case. Copied this from a site. The versatile American Jazz Bass guitar features the innovative S-1 switching system, which gives you great Jazz Bass and Precision Bass guitar tones from one instrument. Pushing the S-1 switch reconfigures the pickup wiring from parallel to series, resulting in a fatter, almost humbucking sound similar to that of a Precision. Other features include a solid alder or ash body (depending on color) and a graphite-reinforced, modern C-shaped maple neck with a satin polyurethane finish and maple or rosewood fingerboard. I bought it back in March for a project i was working on. When i bought it it had a white scratch plate, which i changed to a tortoise one. I still have the original white one so i will throw it in. Its a classic bass. However i just don't use it, so it is a crime to just let it sit there. I am looking for £550 [attachment=51030:L1010596.JPG][attachment=51031:L1010597.JPG] [attachment=51032:L1010600.JPG][attachment=51033:L1010601.JPG] [attachment=51034:L1010602.JPG][attachment=51035:L1010603.JPG] Cheers sean

This looks great. what a brill idea [url="http://www.jamhub.com/index.html"]http://www.jamhub.com/index.html[/url]

What a great dilema to have. this would be my preference . I would have to say Musicman man first, great work horse, sit with your sound perfectly. The Sandburg is also a great shout. The P bass are beautiful, but limited. If your signed, get onto the major bass manufactuers and beg a bass!!!!!!

I've never found a compressor that doesn't squash the dynamics, despite what they claim. have you tried the telenordia Kopressor(thats how it spelt on the site). I have never found a compressor to match it. it is a level above anyting else on the market.
