    2018 Aerodyne vs 1989 MIJ Fender Jazz Bass Special

    I have been in pursuit of a pearl MIJ Fender Jazz Special for a while, but they seem to go really fast when they become available. Recently, I came across a black 1989 model (non-black neck back, which while not as aesthetically pleasing, is likely a faster neck to play) in pristine condition...

    Sentimentool?

    To you are basses mere tools to get a job done, letting them go when you no longer need that tool, or do you get more sentimental and attached to your basses? Maybe a bit of both, depending on which bass? Personally I have a hard time letting basses go once I’ve bonded with them. It feels like...

    Bass weight... how much is too much?

    I have been selling off a few basses these last couple of months and the #1 question (by far!!) I get from potential buyers is, "What is the exact weight of this bass?" Over my many years as a player, I've bought and sold a lot of basses. But never once did I think to ask what the weight of the...

    First Fretless Jazz Bass (used Fender MIJ or new Sire V7)

    I've been looking into buying a new bass (as we all have), and I've narrowed it down to a fretless jazz bass. I've never owned a fretless or a J style body, and I think it will give me some fresh sounds. I don't want to spend anything excessive in case I end up not liking it (maybe less than...

    TI’s from Canada

    TI JF344 long scale Jazz Flats cost $81.99 Canadian at Long & McQuade. That’s about $62.00US vs $84.29US for the same set at Juststrings.com. Gotta love when the Canadian dollar goes for a dump against the US dollar but the Canadian price doesn’t rise to match the difference, eh?

    So while I'm in no big rush, I've been slowly searching around for a new (to me) bass to upgrade up from my Shen hybrid as I'm starting to tell I need something more to help me express what I'm hearing. With where I'm at financially right now I'm starting to consider getting a loan from the...

    What bass should I buy?

    I’m new to TalkBass and to the bass playing community, looking forward to it. My 15 yo son and I are planning to start playing the bass together. We’re mostly into jazz and he wants it to be a passive bass, so I guess we’ll stick to that. We’re prepared to spend around 700-800 dollars (7000-8000...

    Where to buy Labella 760RL?? (or possible alternatives)

    I absolutely love these Round-wound strings. The Labella 760FL (flatwound version) are easy to get here in EU but 760RL are sold out everywhere and nobody seems to restock. I am on my last set and searched every platform I know of, from thomann all the way to reverb. There is no place I can buy...

    Why can't you buy some body color/fretboard wood combinations?
