I kind of like the look of the Modern Series Trans Black Jazz Bass and wanted a bass for recording that could cover a wide range of tones.
I am normally a guitar player and green when it comes to bass. Price seems pretty fair to my untrained eye.
I cannot really go up to a proper Jap Fender 70's P Bass I would like and do not fancy an Agathis Squire.
Will this cover my needs and what would be a good amp to go with it sub £300?
I would like to get sounds a kin to Kim Deal, John Curley, Mark Ibold, Kim Gordon.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

That trans mahogany jag with the p90s looks fantastic. Ever since I dropped the red-silver-blue lace sensors into my strat for the metal toanz I have missed the sparkle of single coils.

anyone know if the Thinline Deluxe is worthwhile? I've been Gas'n for it hard (in trans black)

I believe that ILFer Gozu has one, and digs it.

I lust after one.

Not sure about your amp needs, but that bass seems totally awesome to me.

it strikes me that the placement of the volume knob on the Jag that folks were complaining about would be ideal for doing swells with the knob a la Roy Buchanan or Dickey Betts.

take off that strat jack, paint it black, reverse it (so it sticks out instead of into the body) and you have yourself a p badass jag variant

And that's why those things are so damn awesome. I want to get one as my next guitar when I have money to spend. They're so fucking awesome.

i do! i bloody love it! seriously everything i need in a bass... big thick sound and good round range

ETA: it is also built better than my (very well built) CV P-bass

I'm going to call fender's bluff with the Triplebucker on their marauder and invent a Quadbucker.

Been done

How did that work out? Oh, and what's a triplebucker like anyways?

Have no idea - anyone familiar with quadbuckers they fit into Kramers?
