Sibob Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I havn't read the above posts cos i'm in a rush, so apologies if this has been said before. Pick up a 2nd hand American Jazz bass with S1 switching, probly cost you about £500 - £600. The S1 switch changes the neck pickup between series and parrallel, giving you Jazz tones when off and Precision tones when on! Nice Si Quote
Veils Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Ill go for a Tacoma as well Otherwise just a nice natural jazz, maple board, block inlays. Lovely jubbly Quote

By the way, don't go for the Precision with the S1 switching, Ive got one and I'm still trying to work out why it's there...... all it seems to do is give you a thin sound similar to a (very) cheap P Bass copy - or is it just me?

chris_b Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Sorry, but if I had to have "just one Fender" my choice would be for a Lakland! Edited May 31, 2007 by chris_b Quote
martthebass Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Preferably a 70's Jazz, about 14 pounds in weight......it'll keep the fire going longer Quote
martthebass Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Or...............a good US Jazz body, with a Status Graphite neck and Hipshot tuners. Then maybe swap the pickups for Barts or EMG's. Put in a Aggie preamp. Badass 3 bridge. Then take it up to Jon at Shukerville and have a nice exotic wood topped body made for it. Just joking, luv 'em meself. especially the nice high quality ones made in China. Edited May 31, 2007 by martthebass Quote
Tanc Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Fender Urge. Precision and jazz pickups. Lovely neck, easy to play. Quote

DaBassMonsta Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 If I could have just one Fender... ...I'd be a happy bear. Quote
Tait Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 o, you said you prefer the jazz neck... i dont know then... Quote
lonestar Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 A fender us Jazz standard s1 does it all for me; Jazz growl , twiddle the knobs or hit the s1 switch and you have a fat p bass sound. Mine was £659 just over a year ago. a good SH one should be easy to find for £600 Quote
The Burpster Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 If I could have just one Fender......? I have....... What would it be? One that doesnt hummmmmmmmmmmm......... Quote
