Right apologies if this has been posted before, but I did a search and didnt really come up with anything suitable....


What I'm asking is : I'm really fancying a jazz, and want to know if there a sonic/build/whatever difference between a marcus miller series or a std MIJ/CIJ??

I play metal, so I want the slimmer neck profile a jazz would give me and I really like the look of the MM artist bass (my stingray is great BUT the neck profile is quite big)

SO basically any recommendations or advice on what would be suitable?


Thanks
Dave

+1

And you could always change the pickguard colour or upgrade any element of it if need be...

Yeah I'd go along with that, although the guy from Opeth?? I think uses a Marcus Miller jazz. I had a Marcus, and I [i]bitterly[/i] regret selling it, and may well get one again in the future, but as a back up to the Thunderbird I was using in metal band it was hopeless. I couldn't coax enough bottom from it although there's no reason why that would be, it should be capable, but I couldn't do it. If I switched from the TB to the MM mid set, the band all looked at me wondering where the bottom end had gone.

Gorgeous bass the MM, and I'll definately have another, but for metal, I'd be thinking Geddy or Aerodyne.

Or one of these:
