discreet Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Yes, they are very good value. You might want to change the strings, though... I put some DR Lo-Riders on mine and it made quite a difference. They are surprisingly well put-together and sound just like a Jazz Bass. Very playable.

jimbaby Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 DV247 are very good to deal with as well, I inadvertently ordered a bass which was out of stock and was refunded the same day, bass was despatched when in stock with no probs and very well packed.

jassbass Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Im very tempted.so the pups are ok? I like the blue or green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyellowcar Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) I had one for a bit (and sold it to Discreet!) and it was a great bass for the dosh. The pickups are VERY hot. Lots of output. I just don't like Jazz basses Edited June 28, 2014 by theyellowcar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jassbass Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 If the neck is ok I could change the pups and still be a cheap jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1403964018' post='2488132'] If the neck is ok I could change the pups and still be a cheap jazz [/quote] I don't think you'll need to. As theyellowcar rightly says, these pups are hot. It depends on whether you like the sound of them of course, but as I said the J&D sounds almost exactly like a Jazz bass, so if that's what you're looking for it's all golden. The neck's OK too. Or mine was, anyway. Some people reported slightly sharp fret ends up the dusty end, but this is not a big problem. You can't go wrong. If you really don't like it for some reason there is sure to be someone on here who will take it off your hands, so you won't lose a lot. Or buy it from somewhere with a warranty so you can return it if you don't like. I sold mine too as I [i]thought[/i] I didn't like Jazz basses. But I do.

Lozz196 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) These look really good value. Been looking for a 70s style Jazz for a bit, and the bonus here is an alder body. Methinks a black/black/maple will soon be on its way Just found this thread re these as well: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227514-new-bass-day-jd-vintage-1975-review-good/ Edited June 29, 2014 by Lozz196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
