Fender Basses / What Jazz to buy ?
« on: January 27, 2008, 08:21:23 AM »
My band Johnny Smoke ( scroll down to the right for classic rock clips http://johnnysmoke.homestead.com/calendar.html )does a ton of Zepplin in our cover set and we do it very well. The guitarist even brings out his Gibson 6/12 double neck for the shows. We are in the process of reorganizing the live show and putting more emphisis on the Zep. I'm thinking of getting a Jazz like JPJ. Fender makes the classic MIM 60's J and for the $ they are very nice, I like 'em alot. Next up is the '62 USA`RI close to JPJ but it has concentric knobs I can get one of these for like $1300. Last is the '64 RI NOS these are pricey, I'm looking at $2,135. Also the New American Standard J comes in a sunburst /tort /rosewood combination that has a nice vintage vibe. Around $950. Thoughts on which bass to buy ?
