There's a good, broad demographic here, so I'm sure you'll have no probs. Why a MIA particularly? The MIJ/CIJs are well worth a look from what I hear (both on the grapevine & with my battered ears).

Blind Lemon Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks all for the welcome. Fancy a MIA jazz because ive never owned a fender and feel its the one to have, i understand the CIJ jap one is the better one as these are produced for the home market and are built to a higher standard than MIJ that are produced for export. Been looking at a CIJ on ebay but unsure about how much import duty is likley to be payable, if anyone can give me a clue it appreatiate it. Mind you even when i get my hands on a jazz chances are it will still be my warwick FNA that hangs round my neck when gigging cos it seems to fit like an old glove. Happy New Year one and all.

Happy New Year one and all.[/quote] There's a sticky about importing here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=139[/url] that'll go some way to answering that bit. I only ask as a few local players swear by their Fender & to my ears it goes like this... Squier Jazz - Good. Punchy, yet bassy - cuts through well. CIJ P - Wow! Grit, growl & all the trouser-flapping good stuff - good definition too. 1969/70 P/J hybrid (P body, Jazz neck) - One owner from new, largely original. Goes *Thud*. Owner loves it (which is what counts), but I wouldn't give it house room personally. Deffo a Try Before You Buy sketch methinks - I'd suggest a day out in That London & a visit to The Gallery, they're likely to have a goodly selection & they're an affable bunch. Pete.

Blind Lemon Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Thanks for that Pete a CIJ may be a good option.........but just seen a jazz 24 very pretty but mixed reviews. Korean made so maybe not a "real" fender just badged that way however if ts a good instrument that should not matter :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi Rich Glad to see you've still got that Warwick. I still remember the 'kid-at-Christmas' moment the day it arrived at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 "maybe a bit old at 38 and 60 months". Hmmm, in 3 days I'll be 57. 57! Only eight years to me pension, gov! Welcome! And enjoy that new Fender. Even if it is the wrong one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
