"Good Grief...! an interchangeable fret-board...?"

We're going to move all the songs that require that snappy Maple response to the end of our set.
At the transition point of the set, I'll just swap out fretboards during the drum solo.

Thanks for that link and the info - the "Double J" is exactly the bass I'm looking at: $300 delivered - in good condition.
It's just odd enough to intrigue me a bit, and cheap enough to gamble on it and possibly lose.
Thanks.

Other Bass Brands / Kramer "Pioneer Series" experience?
« on: May 03, 2015, 04:21:52 PM »
Anyone here have any experiences with a mid 80's (non-Fenderish headstock) Kramer Pioneer Series JJ/JJ?
I have an opportunity to pick one up (sight unseen) pretty cheap, but don't know much about them.

Jazz bass with stacked (JJ/JJ) pickups.  3 pots (V/V/T??)
2 switches (pickup selector/phase??)
Schaller bridge (with "Kramer" stamped on it), Schaller tuners
Bolt on - Looks like Maple/Rosewood.

Thanks,
Steve

That makes a Wishbass look like a work of art...

At $100 p/ string, I highly doubt that anyone would go to those lengths for revenge...or not know what they're getting when they order a Wishbass.

Excuse my ignorance - I'm been listening to and loving music my entire life, but I know zero about music theory or the myriad styles/classifications of music.

There's a song I really like playing by R.E.M. called  "You Are The Everything" - If you listen to the verses, Mike Mills is not playing with the beat, but he seems to be floating harmlessly somewhere in the mix.

I'm just curious - does this type of bass playing fit a category, or is it just "art" (as the kids call it these days)?



Thanks,
Steve

Yup - no problem.
