pmjos Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Just a bit of feedback. I had a play on one of the Japanese made Walnut Fender Jazz basses. Very, very impressive. Warm, thick, barks like Jaco's dog on the back pick up. Any one tried one of these - It really took me by surprise - gorgeous sound and very playable if a little heavy.

SisterAbdullahX Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My mate and neighbour has just bought one and he loves it. He's on here but I can't remember what he calls himself. Hopefully he'll be along soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) One of these? Edited July 6, 2017 by dlloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmjos Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 That looks like it. Saw it on display and though it would be megga expensive when I heard it, but far from it. Great clear tone, sound like string through body jazz but warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I've had mine for a few years... traded a double bass for it with another BC member who imported it from Japan. It's nice... essentially a 62 reissue with a fancy paintjob. They're not overly common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Hi, I have one too. It's a lovely thing to own and play. Difficult to fault really though I did fit a Schaller bridge to it. Edited July 8, 2017 by Kevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
