......Now the bad parts: action was obscenely high.  When I lowered it by two full turn (and still too high) frets started buzzing here and there, despite there being more than enough neck relief and nut slots not cut particularly low. That rung alarm bells for me, so I've packed it up and started the return.

 

Shame.

 

Oh, that really is a huge shame. I liked the look of these. (not that I need one, of course -especially as I'm trying to sell atm).

Maybe with a good set up (i.e. frets levelling as well) but I've been burned badly with this kind of stuff before so I'm just not getting involved.  

That's the good part of buying new, especially online, you can just return it and not argue too much why it's a lemon.

My brother in law bought a Fender Blues jnr combo at his local cash converters, this week, and they threw a Jet Telecaster JT-350 in for £100.

 

He really likes it and he knows his guitars, as he's been playing professionally for years.

 

I played it and it is very nice but I don't like the the logo on the headstock, it just looks like a splodge of paint or something.

I'm sure I just got unlucky, other reports are that they're great so don't let my experience put you off @Marc S. You've nothing to lose if you buy new.  Just don't get a b-stock from gear4music in the next few weeks/months ;)

 

I actually don't mind the logo (though it's a bit hard to read the writing) and the headstock shape is really nice.

Hello everyone! 

I have ordered a JJB-300 in sunburst.. should be here next Wednesday!

I've had only one bass (5-string, 2 humbuckers, Cort B5 Element OPTB) so i am planning on getting this Jazz Bass & sometime later a Precision. Maybe the one Jet offers, who knows?

I would like to know though: what's the actual nut width of the Jet Pbass? They say 38mm online but i have seen otherwise here and there...

And i will report back when i get the JJB-300 of course..

My Jet P has a 42mm nut.

I sent mine back because the single coil hum was exessive compared to all the other single coils i've had and the tone knob was acting like a kill switch.. but i would love to get my hands on the shell pink one to give the brand another chance !

The neck was awesome to be fair!
