The bass has been out for over 20 years so plenty of reviews about. Nothing wrong with the stock bridge, but i like black hardware and this bridge also allows individual string height adjustment. Its direct replacement, no adjustments needed to the bass other than the action etc needing setting up. And just so much presence.Īlso, I'd love to read a review of this bass. There's a visceral resonance that a solid-body just can't have. Once you pick up a (semi)hollow-body there's no looking back (imho). It really does need flats! I have D'addario chrome flats on my two fretless basses, and the Elite stainless steels on this feel surprisingly different - more slippery - almost as if they were somehow flatter. I don't usually like a gloss neck, but that wasn't a problem. But I like the simplicity of the controls - numbered dials for tone and volume, and a 3-position tone switch so you can easily change sound - say between verse and bridge. I don't have the technical knowledge of many BC peeps to do a proper review. In fact I gigged it within two hours of buying it from our gig on Sunday 🙂 So the JC satisfies my lust for a hollow-body that I can pick up any time, and gig. I'm coming to this from being lucky enough to have a 1966 Gibson EB2, and unlucky enough that it lives with my son (drummer and occasional bass player) in Nashville, and realistically I'll never be able to get it back to the UK, or to gig it if I did (too fragile and valuable). Overall for me, a flawed bass but the first bass ive owned that im prepared to live with them, as i love the tone so much. I got a nice wide strap, so neck dive isnt a problem, but i do find the edge of the body cuts in to my right forearm after a while. The new one is more comfortable though, as i play mostly with a pick so tend ot rest my hand on the bridge.
I ordered a new bridge in a state of panic, but i was happy with the old bridge. The bridge popped off 30mins in to owning it, but a bit of superglue has worked well and ive not had it come off again. I guess im just not used to non Fender shaped basses. I think ill get a fret dressing in the new year. I love the neck, although i cant quite get the action i want. Not the actual playing of it on the neck, just sitting down or standing with it. I love the bass, but its the most uncomfortable bass ive ever played. Still, i might check that website to see if it confirms this. it also has a large sticker inside stating it. Im lucky, as mine is a 20th Aniv model, so i know when it was made.
