Members Scary Bill Posted December 30, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2007 I want a geddy... I played a GL side by side with a VM jazz at GC. The GL is worth every penny! It played very nice. I had a deeper sound with more "sparkle", too. The only major issue I have with the VM Jazz is the strings. They have some strange warble to them. I put an old nickle round on it, and the problem cleared. No big deal, though. I can expect things like this for $279. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they might look gawdy but you're right, Kindness...it would look nice! It better, it took me a looooooooooooong time to make. I love it . One of my favorite creations. I haven't seen that bass in a while though... Scary Bill - Your bass playing dude should hook up with my drumming dude: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scary Bill Posted December 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 He looks like he knows what he's doing. Probably better than I am on drums. If I ever need a metal P/G I will look you up first. I like seeing kids involved with music, for Christmas I got my son Ukulele. He really enjoys playing it. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to finally pick up bass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members georgestrings Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 Those VMJ's are a killer value - a fairly nice quality instrument for a great price... I would highly recommend a set of DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pups, CTS pots, and a series/parallel switch for that - the difference is night and day... Although I almost never use the switch, and play mine in series nearly all of the time - so to save some $$$ and work, you *could* wire it straight up series... I also changed out my PG for a red tort one, and applied a clear laquer finish on my fretboard(ala Geddy Lee Jazzes) - and am real happy with the outcome... In the end, I've got less than $250(I bought mine used, but practically new) into a great looking, sounding, and playing bass that totally kicks ass in a band setting - I'm sure you'll love yours... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members georgestrings Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 That's really nice, but the blue bass needs an aluminum pickguard: That PG is the coolest!!! One of those would look outstanding on my P Bass Special(gloss black, with a J pup at the bridge position) - and talk about sheilding effect!!! Although I don't usually bother with aftermarket bridges, that choice looks real good on that bass - I thought you did a fine job on it the 1st time I saw it... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members georgestrings Posted December 31, 2007 Members Share Posted December 31, 2007 BTW, the weak link on those VMJs is the pots and the jack - for less than $10 you *could* change out the volume pot, wire the pups in series, and bypass the tone pot - going straight to the new jack - and see an immense improvement in tone and output... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of mine is stiff (hard to turn:cop:) They also are a little jumpy. I will probably replace the pots later, but I don't see the jack being an issue. My blue P is a Squier Affinity, the cheapie jack in it has never gave me any trouble(the pots were replaced, though) and as long as it isn't noisy I can't see how it can affect tone. A clean connection is a clean connection. The series/parallel switch is a maybe. So far I even like the PUs, too. If I did change PUs it would be to replace the MECs in the Warwick, as I don't like them for a fretless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
