stufunkybass Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Cheers for the comment mate, How did you get on with your Marcus Miller Jazz? I have heard that the active circuit can be noisy - yours looks stunning mate! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) i would go for the JO...didnt like the pre in the MM, but played one with an east and it rocked..the Fender standard is a great bass..but i think the Laky is a better buy...Sandberg also..dont forget used basses..i also love the KSD jazzes, there fantastic.. BTW its the single coils on the MM that are noisy, the pre is just a little harsh.. stu did you ever sell the Moon?

GarethFlatlands Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Warwick Corvettes have the J/J pickup layout. Probably not entirely what you were after but worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman101 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Like merello kinda said, Go on the premade basses bit on the Shuker site, Always good stuff there, although it doesnt seem to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
