[quote name='Balcro' post='1369976' date='Sep 11 2011, 10:57 PM']I doubt if there's much difference in quality betweeen the Ibanez and the Cort. I'd go so far as to say that at that level, they're cousins. However I dont think Ibanez's/Cort's will do a traditional jazz sound, especially with humbucker pickups. The now defunct Ibanez EDB series had jazz-style pickups and made a fair stab at a jazz sound, but it's a modern interpretation of a jazz. Neck width at the first fret is the same as the Jazz at 38mm. So it must be the neck profile that's making the diference. A quick look on the Fender site showed four neck shapes. There's "C" shape, modern "C" shape, thin "C" shape and slim "C" shape. You could check them all out before you jump in and buy. Balcro.[/quote] Thanks balcro, Never thought to go into the tec side of neck configuration. The neck on the Jazz is slim, i just cant seem to get the strings as low as the cort, so for me its not so easy to play. I have had the Jazz looked at to get the strings lower but there as low as possible without lots of fret buzz. I should have said at the start it is not so much the Jazz tone, but the variety of tones i can get out off it compared to my Cort Ltd. I need to go and do a bit of testing i think. Anyone know of a music shop in the Midlands that does Cort & Ibanez so i can teke the Jazz and compare. Thanks all Stu

Thanks for the comments, i didnt know they made so many brands but i have heard they are quick to pick up on new ideas. Thanks Stu

Hi all Just looking for any comments on the ibanez 700 and the Cort A4 custom. Feel, sound, build quality and the likes. I currently have a Fender jazz (MIM) and a Cort Ltd. Playability wise i prefer the Cort due to the slim wenge neck, but for sound it has to be the jazz. I do prefer the style/ shape Ibanez and Cort over the Fenders, hence I am considering the two above, in an attempt to gain the playability and the sound in one bass. As i have not heard or played either i could do with some opinions. Cheers folks

Crossroads by Cream........ Class !!!!!!!

Good idea ! If i cant get a poster this may be the next option. Thanks hopefully i will get one. Cheers

Hi All I am looking for a Poster of either JPJ playing live using his jazz or of the whole band (Led Zep) live with a good shot of JPJ. I have scoured the tinter web, including allposters.co.uk, and there seems to be nothing where JPJ is , facing the camera, is in focus, or is playing his jazz. There are plenty of good ones of Plant & Page, but none of JPJ (typical bass player i suppose; hiding at the back or side) Anyone got any good links for posters they Know of, or posters of JPJ they want to sell please let me know. (must be Led Zep period though) Thanks Stu
