DHL always duck up every important delivery. And you have to pay to phone them up. absolutely ducking useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I'm not that a fan of vintage sounding flats, but these have a lot of character and are quite flexible too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

police squad Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 its happened I was a bit underwhelmed at first. For about 10 seconds but that neck! It's the closest profile to my 73 P bass I've played Might need a trussrod tweak but acoustically it sounds huge. I've not plugged it in yet, maybe tomorrow but I'll get some pics up in the morning defo needs the black pickguard, it will remind me of my first Fender, a late 70s Musicmaster bass Stock flats seems good right now though, back to the 2nd half of Swiss v france (and my red wine) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right about the neck, all my other basses now feel somewhat angular and unwelcoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adee Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Not a lot in it really and the JMJ feels and plays so good, it's my go too every time, I love it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be using the JMJ going forward. Sound wise, yes very similar, as someone else has said, the shorter string length makes it a bit more fundamental. Less harmonic overtones. I likey a lot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
