Members SailorJerry Posted August 27, 2010 Members Share Posted August 27, 2010 had to take it in to be professionally set up since i wasn't comfortable about trying to fix a slight warping of the neck by myself, decided that whilst it was there it may as well have the whole works. just got it back today with a properly straight neck, levelled frets, set up bridge, intonated blah blah blah and PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED! plays like a dream and i'm glad they managed to get rid of the blood that i wasn't able to :poke: they put some weird oil {censored} on the strings that 'makes it play fast' but my fingers keep slipping off, won't take long to wear through it though i guess. TL : DR: jazzmasters rule, pro setups are good. EDIT: thread is worthless without pics. so here's an action shot from sometime last year (i don't have any recent pics here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pointsman Posted August 27, 2010 Members Share Posted August 27, 2010 jazzmasters are so amazing with good setups and heavy strings. it's like all the problems people have with them just melt away and your left with a great sounding guitar that looks cool as {censored} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted August 27, 2010 Members Share Posted August 27, 2010 haha, it's probably 'fast fret' or something similar, I hate that {censored} too.... it will go after a sweaty playing session......supporting The Subways? cool.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted August 27, 2010 Members Share Posted August 27, 2010 I love Jazzmasters, and Fender offsets in general. The heavy strings part is right. I stick with 11's on everything. I can also sympathize for the waiting. I ordered one of the Blacktop Jazzmasters about a week ago - it should ship out any time now, but damn is the wait killing me. Jazzmasters are just the kind of guitars that you want around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
