great comparison! I have a 74 maple neck (black) and am considering a av ri 62, and also own a 96 jazz..... Wow great comparison, after hearing this I think Ill stay with my 74 as the maple and aged bass sounds great(maybe its just the rounds).
Thjanks a million! (GAS may get me to a 62 ri but my 96 sounds great with sd-2 jazz pups).
Very unique instrument. Temperamental neck, but it has a variety of tone that I have never heard in any of the many J-basses I've played or owned. Thanks for your comment.
the 62 reissue is my favorite sounding. I have one as well. Expect I upgraded the pickups to custom shops. Also, mine is lake placid blue. I also sanded down the neck which is awesome. However, my overall favorite bass for tone by my small fan bass (lol) when I play gigs is my 85 rickenbacker 4003. This is compared to the 62 jazz bass and a 2008 Ken Smith neck Through I have.
cool stuff man.
For those who aren't quite this beastly, you may want to check out my bass lesson for this song.

Great playing and great tone from all basses. Do you just use the neck pickup on each?

What strings do you have on each bass? It sounds like rounds on the '77 and flats on the other two... ?? Help me out here! Excellent playing btw!

Hey guys, I have a pbass replica right now. Im thinking of getting a jazz bass, is it worth the move up?
Im starting to realize that the clean p bass tone isnt what I like.

Are you resting your thumb on the E string or the fretboard at the body cutaway?

It's almost always on the E-string, unless I am playing the E-string, when I will usually rest it on the neck pickup cover.

I would have to say the fretless in the beginning! lol
(I just got my first bass two days ago, so i don't really know much about basses)
