First gig last night exclusively playing a Jazz Bass

[Telebass]

Never thought I'd live to do this out of choice, but since I've had this bass, and I've tweaked it to suit, it's become my 'go-to' bass.

It's a parts Jazz that I traded for with Lee - Rasta of this parish - and although it has an Allparts 'chunky' profile neck, it's just wonderful. I have a non-chunky Jazz neck on the Precision, and that too is great, but this one is just somehow special!

I'll stop maundering now, and go out and play another whole gig with it!

(At the Arundell Arms in Lifton, Devon, if you're interested - it'll be a belter!)

Great isn't it!?

I've owned a few Jazzes, and many more Precisions, but this is the only time one has really spoken to me, as it were...I don't use the bridge pickup at all, so really I'm probably 'not playing a Jazz Bass' as envisioned by most, but it's working for me, and the other band guys think it sounds fine, so...
But there's a sneaky part of me that''s saying, "Why have you deserted your 51RI, you traitor you!"
Not that I'm listening any more!

PS Could a mod move this to where it belongs, in the Bass Guitars section? Not quite sure what senior moment made me put it in this section!
Ta!

PPS: The gig? An even bigger belter than we thought! I love gigs like that, where it all goes well, and the roof would have come off even if we'd muffed it!
