karlfer Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I simply paid by card, which gets me the bass and gives me the time to sort funding Between the gig money I have, the gig money before my bill is due, and putting up a "tribute" bass on Facebook, I MIGHT get away without selling my Clayton Jazz Quote
Kev Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1467206740' post='3081920'] I've just had mail from Kenny's. They've had mail from Fender. They are getting them in early. Mine should be with me Monday or Tuesday [/quote] Awesome! Look forward to hearing your comments! Quote
karlfer Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 There's the rub John. There must be SOME reason they are £300 cheaper than the Mex Road Worn Jazz. And I'll bet a good bit of that equates to a heavy bass. You will know early next week Quote
AndyTravis Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 The Nate Mendel was a cheaper Roadworn Signature bass... Mine is 7.4lbs. Quote
thegummy Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467190249' post='3081717'] Are Kenny's Music a supplier that many (or any) have dealt with before or was this just a supplier you found that was advertising this bass? [/quote] I bought a guitar from there and my experience was mixed but mostly positive. I'd buy from them again just as happily as anywhere else but wouldn't go there specifically. Quote
basskit_case Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Andertons have them in stock apparently. Quote
mcnach Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 shut up all of you I don't need a Jazz even if it's as pretty as that one. go away Quote
Musicman20 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Stuff it...I'll give it to the weekend and then order. I don't mind waiting if they've all gone. Quote
karlfer Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467293086' post='3082595'] I've just received an e-mail from Kenny's. Mine is arriving tomorrow. Karl - I blame you! [/quote] I've got the same email. I blame me Last time I looked at GAK they were "available to order". Heard THAT before! They are also describing it as a Factory Special Run Andertons had 2 left an hour ago. Thomann had them in this AM, but £60 more expensive. Edited June 30, 2016 by karlfer Quote
karlfer Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467302071' post='3082697'] That makes two of us then :-) Ooh! Collectable too! Yes, I noticed that. Is that a result of Sterling be so rubbish at the moment? [/quote] Yes, guess it's the exchange. Having said that, I've noticed in the past Thomann were often a little more expensive on Fenders. Warren, I do hope you are going to do the NBD photos and reviews, cos I'm crap at that stuff (esp photos ). Your public awaits with baited discreet trousers Edited June 30, 2016 by karlfer Quote

[/quote] Nice one [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467315099' post='3082825'] It depends what time DPD arrive, but I will certainly try and do the photos if they get here earlier enough - and weigh the bugger! I have a gig to get out to late afternoon, so fingers crossed. [/quote] I'm the same, get there and set up before the Wales game, play after it. Just what I chuffin need on a [s]NBD[/s] Friday Quote
njr911 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Can't wait - ordering mine next week, I want one before my next gig on the 23rd Quote
police squad Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I don't want or need a jazz bass. I play Precisions!! (er and a Spector, Steinberger, Rickenfaker, Ibanez musician, Aria SBR150) but not Jazz basses Karl, it's your fault. Ordered from Andertons with Saturday delivery!! Quote
Beedster Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Bloody hell, I've yet to see a review let alone see one in the flesh. I do hope they're good or there's gonna be a lot of 'em popping up in the FS forum in the very near future Quote

If it's anything like my Steve Harris West Ham bass (apart from the weight) it'll be very nice Quote

synthaside Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) I've been Very happy with all the " higher end Mexican stuff , the artist stuff the or the dated 60's 70's " They seem to really be giving Mexican's the Vintage modified treatment , i have every confidence these are gonna be cracking and i'm looking forward to the results . In other news Karl i mentioned to she who could not be named ... about the status and she said its FINE but only on condition that I traded it for something i really really wanted.... not just something that i already have ..... Reminds me why i love this girl :-D But i means NO Jazzes Edited July 1, 2016 by synthaside Quote
karlfer Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 PLEASE SOMEBODY....................link to whatever happened in Milwaukee, I missed that thread and can't find it. It's keeping me awake at night Quote
police squad Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1467364506' post='3083079'] I'm in hiding [/quote] We'll find you on Facebook!! Quote
BigRedX Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 So other than the stack knob controls what makes this Jazz bass so special? Quote
Kev Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1467373967' post='3083185'] So other than the stack knob controls what makes this Jazz bass so special? [/quote] Modeled after Flea's actual '61, reliced Nitro, vintage bridge, vintage style US pickups. Just generally a very nice jazz with a good spec for the price. Quote
