Great Bass Skip,

That's a Great bass, I have the Jazz Bass Speical which is simular. The thing I like about the Jazz series is that the neck is thin and I can manage it well. I'm 5' 7" and don't have 7" long fingers to work the neck.

I don't know how some bass players can play a 5 string or the new 6 string basses, it must be like holding a 2x4 in your palm. I just bought a Fender B practice amp which has stero in plugs and I can plug in a CD or my IPOD and jam with the best.

It's good therapy when I need to melloy and remember the old stage days.

Mark...
