dub_junkie Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I’ve just put the Valenti up for sale to make a particular purchase but it has been nice having both around this week. The Skyline’s neck shaping, fretting, action and general feel is excellent (my first Lakland) Edited July 23, 2021 by dub_junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Lewis Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 '96 MIJ 62 reissue, my main gigging bass for 25 years, bought new and recently sold. A good workhorse, very roadworthy, played well, but I guess I got bored with it. I replaced it with a 2006 Aerodyne Jazz, non-export. A very good bass, well put together, comfortable, nice neck, and sounds nice with a good range of tone. I'll be keeping this. Recently got a 2020 Custom Shop '60. It's a dream to play, and sounds magnificent. A beautiful thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 So I'm currently at five Jazzes, after the addition of this baby, and the fun thing is: there's an exact 4-string version of this bass also coming my way. Family pic to follow but I couldn't wait to share this with you guys. Really really dig this bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiMarco Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 My "Jazz". I don't know how they did it but this thing is resonant and responsive like nothing else I have ever played. Apparently tone woods do matter. A lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pow_22 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 My MIJ 75ri in Bass Corner of the studio. Quite heavy but a thump to die for and thats coming from a dyed in the wool P bass man! Rescued from a dark corner of a crack converters in non-working condition. Needed a kiogon harness and i opted for a set of Wizard 84’s. she wears Elites Groundwounds and sounds every bit as good as she looks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Could never see the appeal of a Jazz. Owned a Fender player standard and a G&L and neither set my pants on fire like the Precision. But the Geddy Lee jazz that Mrs Bassfinger bought me for our anniversary has totally changed all that. I can't put the damn thing down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckendrick Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Fullerton's finest... The 62 re-ish has to be the best thing ever to come out of that factory. This one on the left has played almost a thousand performances in almost as many absolute s***-holes. It's been knocked off it's stand, had bottles broken on it, been covered in beer, blood and myriad other questionable fluids. I was unhappy with the nut when I bought it from Wapping in 1983. Charlie Chandler obliged. A Roto 66 custom set was put on at that time and of course it was re-set. The strings are still the same ones... and have been boiled twice. The frets are still ace. The action and intotation always were and still are excellent. It sounds like everything you want a Jazz to sound like. It's been cleaned once. It's still goes to work now and again...

danny-79 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It’s evolving and I’m getting quite happy with it. I had to change the truss rod bolt, that was a task in its self finding the right one. I feel I should should panic buy a few bags of them after the haste of that !!!! But anyways, I collected a few other parts while it was out of action and have now put it all together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
