Be a Bi-Flex completeist
« on: March 23, 2015, 08:38:42 AM »
These are a fun bunch of Jazz basses. I think the prices are about double what they are worth, maybe.  But if you have to have them all..

Er, perhaps 1982 and 1983 were banner years for someone, somehow?

The cachet escapes me.

At least twice what they're worth, and they were nothing special.

I always dug the Precision neck profile that they used, which was more C than tube-y B.  The Jazz was about the same as any other. The save a buck aesthetics didn't do much for anyone. They are better than late 70s basses.

I did have an '82 P for a short while, even with replacement pickups it just really lacked enough low end. IIRC the neck was a wide but fairly thin C.
