I've been playing a Dean Edge Pro for the past few years, and while it's been a great bass to learn on and the electronics are nice, I feel like it's time to move on. I've started going around to some local shops to check out basses. Tried out a a used Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass; the thing just played beautifully. I have not played any other Fender Jazz basses, anyone have any input as to how a MIM Jazz Bass might compare?

Doomy posted:I think the internet consensus is that you could find a MIM as good as that CIJ geddy but you're going to be trying out a few MIMs to accomplish that. Thanks for the tips. I think I'll probably shop around a bit more and see if I can try out some different Jazz basses so I can get a feel for the differences. I guess part of what I'm trying to get a grip on is how different the manufacturing processes are in country of origin, and how it relates to how it feels in my hands, and how it sounds. I for whatever reason had always assumed that the MIM versus Made in Japan or US debate was over the quality of the electronics, and not the rest of the instrument... I'm slowly learning otherwise.

DRP Solved! posted:I want to start buying effect pedals for my bass and the bass-specific ones are looking quite expensive (and less plentiful than guitar pedals). How good do Danelectro pedals sound with a bass? Does anyone have any hints on places online that sell bass pedals? I actually have a Danelectro fabtone pedal that I use for my bass and I've gotten some good sounds out of it for fuzz bass that's just barely fuzzy. (The higher end of the fuzzy has a tendency to get a bit muddy). It's unfortunately broken right now, and I'm not really sure how to fix it.

I finally had my bass professionally setup after owning it for two years (having gotten it used). What a difference, completely night and day. It's like the light bulb went on as to what playing a bass is actually supposed to feel like.

Luminous Cow posted:http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/msg/2768538143.html The post is gone now, but I have a Dean Edge Pro 4 that is pretty decent. It's got a nice bridge, decent electronics, and is pretty comfortable. My only issue is that it just doesn't have the sort of shape I personally want in a bass, but that's more my own hang up.

So, I’ve got a question about systems for playing along with music. I’m in an apartment building and really don’t have much time to practice except for late at night. Most of my bass playing is just playing along with a few recorded tracks and practicing scales. I’m currently running both my bass and my iPod into my amp, and using headphones to listen to the resulting mix. Only problem is that for some reason, only the left channel from the iPod comes through. I can work with it, but it sounds pretty lovely. I was hoping someone in this thread might have ideas about how to solve this problem or might be in a similar spot. I’ve seen products like the Rockman Guitar Ace, but it looks pretty terrible, but maybe I’m wrong?

Thanks for the all the links and information. I think cobbling together my pennies for a decent headphone practice amplifier is probably the route I will go.

I finally tried out a used MIM Fender Jazz today. I am ready to sell my current bass and go buy this.

I hope cross-listing is alright. I'm looking to sell my current rig, which I've put up in the Gear trades thread

vas0line posted:Eugene Goreshter was the bassist of Failure, and is currently the bassist and lead vocals in Autolux, another loving amazing band (along with Greg Edwards, formerly guitar/vocals of Failure, and also Carla Azar who is incredibly creative behind a drum kit and electronic stuff). I saw Autolux live a few times and Goreshter had a rack full of bullshit and the sparkliest p bass ever invented. Wait, when did we start talking about Failure? Fantastic Planet is easily one of my favorite albums ever. Also, I didn't know about Autolux, so thanks!
